How to Install an Antenna
Wireless mobile communication has changed our lives forever by giving us the ability
to speak with anyone at anytime and from any place - as long as we are in the widespread network coverage area of our mobile operator.
With an objective to get as many subscribers as possible and to be competitive in the market, telecom service providers are striving hard to spread the reach of their network as far as possible. Tower installation thus becomes one of the key activities of any network setup or expansion.
Tower Installation
Installing telecommunication antenna is a critical task in a telecommunication network set up project. This takes place over two stages: in the first stage, the base for setting up the antenna is selected and made ready. In most cases, this is usually a tower structure. Tower installation and selection of different types of towers to suit the application is a specialized activity by itself.
Tower installation is done to match the elevation requirements of the antenna, so that it can have unhindered communication with the rest of the wireless network while beaming its signals all over the coverage area with adequate intensity.
Ability to take wind loads and withstand the weight of the equipment are some of the prime considerations while choosing a telecom tower design.
Type of Antenna
The mounting of the antenna and specific requirements would depend on the type of transmissions being used. Telecom antennas may transmit in VHF, UHF and microwave frequency bands, and with varying range and beam transmission power. Depending on a combination of these factors, the mounting of the equipment on the tower or mast is decided.
Mounting of the Antenna on the Tower
Once the construction of the tower is completed, it is checked thoroughly for structural stability, after which the actual mounting of equipments begin.
Antennas are mounted one by one using various brackets and bolting that either come packaged in the antenna kit, or can be procured separately as accessories.
The direction of the antennas has to be carefully fixed by using an accurate compass and gauges to match the geographic design of the network.
Cabling and Grounding of the Antenna Assembly
The cabling of an antenna is done using special cables that ensure minimum loss of signal and high immunity against surrounding noise. Coaxial cables are commonly used for this purpose for their sturdiness and good quality of performance even over longer distances.
Grounding is a very important part of the electrical requirements of an antenna so as to ensure perfect reception and transmission of signals.
Getting the Experts to Work
Tower installation is a small project by itself that entails the knowledge of telecommunication networks, electrical engineering, as well as structural design. This is where the role of a turnkey telecom project partner comes handy.
Companies like Mer Telecom specialize in overall network installation projects, which include the activity of tower installation. Engaging partners like these bring down the time and costs involved in setting up a telecommunication network.
