Telecommunication Tower Manual: A Technical Approach

This document is a guide to all engineers, managers and contractors pertaining to the installation, construction design, review, comments, and approval procedures for Telecommunication and Network services as required by the Suyog Telematics Limited (STL). Deviations will not be permitted without the consent of the R&D Department.

Suyog Telematics Limited leases a tower and power (passive load) service to some telecom companies to erect their Active RF loads to establish cellular communication. Suyog Telematics Limited owns and maintains the tower and power with RF microwave links/ OFC links.

STL also owns and manages an independent fibre optic distribution system that links the various buildings/organizations together to provide high speed data service to its users. Any changes to the technical guidelines of the telecommunication’s outlet must be approved by the R&D Department.

The project and operation managers shall abide by these standards and allow no deviations without the consent of the R&D Department. All engineers/ vendors/ consultants shall incorporate this information into the design/ operation for all the Suyog Telematics Limited’s projects as per STL’s TELECOMMUNICATION TECHNICAL MANUAL.

This Technical-Manual specifies minimum requirements for telecommunications tower foundation, erection, wiring, power system installation and maintaining the same without any outage with multiple options for back-up.

This manual has three sections:

  1. Power System
  2. Tower Steel Structure
  3. Concept of Cellular Communication

Description

This Book is a guide to all Engineers, Managers, Technicians and Contractors pertaining to the installation, construction design, review, comments, and approval procedures for Telecommunication and Network services as required by the IP-1 companies (such as Suyog Telematics Limited – STL), based on the Telecom Operators’ need. Deviations will not be allowed without the consent of the R&D/ Project/ O&M Department.

IP-1 Company leases a Tower and Power (Passive Load) service to one or more  Telecom Operators  to erect their Active RF loads to establish Cellular Communication. Suyog Telematics Limited as  IP-1 registered company  owns and maintains the tower and power infrastructure  with RF microwave links/ OFC link.

The Project and Operation Manager shall abide by these standards and allow no deviations without the consent of the R&D Department. All Engineers/ Vendors/ consultants shall incorporate this information into the design/ operation for all the infrastructure projects as per the Telecom Tower Manual- A Technical Approach.

The manual consists of 3 parts:

Part-1, “Power”

This part includes,

Site Description, SMPS (Switch-Mode Power Supply), Controller Used In SMPS, Typical Tools And Meters, Ingress Protection, Connection and selection of Cooling Fan And Timer, Energy Meter, Protective Devices, Inverter, Stabilizers, Clamp Meter /  Digital Multimeter, Preventive Maintenance, Check List for site maintenance, Action Plan For Technician During Site Visit, Action Plan For Technicians, Site Report Card, Power Measurement And Calculation, Electrical Safety Provisions, and  Quality Check Report.

Part-2, “Tower Infrastructure”

This part includes,

Cell Sites and Cell Towers in A Mobile Cellular Network, A Mobile Network Consists of Large Number Of Cells, Cell Sites Are Not Cell Phone Towers, The Cellular Network, Classification of Towers, Types of Cell Towers, Wireless Site Survey, Factors That Impact Tower Design, Different Types Of Towers, Foundation, Soil Testing, Foundation Materials, Layout Drawing Of Steel Structure Of Towers, Design Load Parameters (Dead, Active, Wind, Earthquake), Foundation Testing (NDT, Semi- Destructive / Destructive), Tower Maintenance & Inspection, Frequency bands for Cellular System.

Part-3,

Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) [Concept of Cellular Communication]

This part includes,

Overview, Frequency Reuse, Handoff in Cellular Telecommunications, The Evolution of Mobile Telephone Systems, GSM, The GSM Network, GSM Network Areas, GSM Specifications, GSM Subscriber Services, GSM Mobile identifiers, GSM Operation, GSM-Protocol Stack, GSM – Security and Encryption, GSM – Billing, What is the difference between GSM, 2G, 3G, 4G & 5G,  the arrival of 4G,  Main difference between 4G & 5G, Difference between GSM and LTE , Difference between LTE and VoLTE , Spectrum and Band , and Effects of Cellular phone in Human.

This Technical-Manual specifies minimum requirements for telecommunication tower   foundation / erection, wiring, Power system installation and maintaining the same without any outage with multiple options of back-up.

This Technical Manual provides information about Planning, Installation and Maintenance of Cellular cites to deliver unbroken wireless connectivity. This manual would be very useful for all those people involved in the Cellular Mobile Communication, be it Technicians or Engineers. Certain topics, like Optical fibre installations, detailed design aspect and deep calculations needed for cellular mobile communication, are beyond the scope of this book.
