RF and LOS Survey

Winst offers RF and line of sight (LOS) services for GSM, 3G, 4G, LTE and back bone sites. We also do the radio engineering for the proposed radio hop and carried out physically Surveys of locations through trained team of engineers

RF site survey is carried out in the following steps:

  • Collect list of Nominal to be surveyed, from the customer. In case of new town surveys where Nominal are not provided, Aster will survey the town and provide a nominal for suitable site location.
  • Use the survey report template forwarded by the customer.
  • Identify physical location of the proposed nominal and locate 3 candidates (maximum) for each nominal, as per search ring size suggested by the customer.
  • Survey the site for RF suitability.
  • Estimate and provide required GSM Antenna heights and orientation, proposed tower / pole location (s) will also be marked on a rough sketch of the building (rooftop) or ground site (for each candidate).
  • ecord Latitude and Longitude, building height etc. of the proposed candidates.
  • Take site photographs (360 degrees panoramic view and building / site elevation) for each candidate as given in the survey template by you.
  • Record physical addresses of the candidates and site owner / manager contact details (where available).
  • Complete the Site Survey Candidate evaluation report

RF site survey is carried out in the following steps:

  • Collect Nominal of proposed site and those of the nearest locations to which customer proposes the LOS connectivity & Verification.
  • Record latitude, longitude, building data, obstruction data and surrounding terrain data on the LOS Survey template.
  • Generate LOS Path Profile for the proposed Link using Pathloss 4.0.
  • Generate LOS report for the proposed Link using Pathloss 4.0.Conduct physical survey of the hop to identify any field obstructions and verify the LOS path profile
