3.8 Install Equipment on Outdoor Structure
Installing the eNB should be performed only by qualified installation technicians per the
operator’s network design plan and according to industry standard safety precautions.
Hoisting the RF antenna and eNB onto a tower or other structure may require 2 to 4 people.
Follow standard safety precautions for working at the expected height and as required for
electrical installations. Always wear proper tower climbing safety gear and follow tower
climbing safety certification rules.
This section provides guidance for pole installations and positioning the equipment on a tower,
roof, or other outdoor structure, as well as outside wall installations.
NOTE: It does not matter if the eNB or the antenna is installed first, or together at
the same time.
