Description

Wireless market competition requires operators to reduce per site maintenanceexpense. Site Master’s Frequency Domain Reflectometry away from the traditional fix-after-failure maintenance process by findingsmall, hard to identify problems before major failures occur.Sixty to eighty percent ofa typical cell site’s problems are caused by problematiccables, connectors and antennas. When cables or antennas are contaminatedwith moisture, damaged, or mispositioned during storms, Site Master identifiesthe problem quickly. Antenna degradation reduces the cell coverage pattern andcan cause dropped calls. Site Master can pinpoint the antenna problem fromground level in a few seconds making climbing the antenna tower unnecessary.Apoorly installed weather seal will corrode connectors and, ifundetected, willeventually damage an expensive coaxial cable. Site Master has the sensitivity toidentify the connector problem before the cable is damaged. Distance-To-Faultprovides the clearest indication oftroubled areas.Wireless market competition requires operators to reduce per site maintenanceexpense.
