2. SEARCH AREA

To be filled by radio planning department:Network area name will be defined by radio planning department.If a concrete candidate has been identified then the Site Name can be determined by the radioplanning department. In general the site name should correspond to the address or othercharacteristics.The Site No. (site number) will be defined by the radio planning departmentThe network Phase will be defined by the radio planning department. Changes of the phasewill be carried out by the network planning department only.The Cand. (candidate) can be indicated by a letter, i.e. A, but this is not a ranking of thecandidates.The Priority of the search area will be defined by the radio planning department for the wholesearch area (search ring)Date of issue of search area report (SAR Date)RF Responsible: Radio planner who issued the search area report

4. SITE SURVEY REPORT

The site survey report is divided in three parts:Part I: Site Survey Report (to be filled during first site survey by site acquisition company)Part II: Radio Planning Part (to be filled during final site survey after site evaluation by radioplanning department)Part III: General Site Data (to be filled during final site survey after site evaluation byimplementation team)

Part I is required for the radio planning department for the evaluation of the candidate and theranking of the candidates.If a candidate is accepted and ranked by the radio planning department the site acquisition cannegotiate a contract. Is a contract signed by the owner a final site survey will be carried out.During the final site survey the content of Part I will be checked and Part II and Part III will becompleted.

Photographs:Using digital cameras will speed up the site survey process (no delay because of developingseveral copies) and especially the distribution and filing of the information will be easier.A zoom of 50 – 60mm should be used so that the pictures are comparable with the view of ahuman eye.Photographs should be taken as such that buildings and obstacles can be seen. Thereforepictures should mainly contain the roofs of buildings, not the sky.

To be filled by acquisition company:Site Name can be defined as site address or as other characteristics.To be filled by acquisition company:Site Number is defined in accordance with search area report. A letter will be added to thesearch area number to name the Candidate. The letter does not indicate the priority of thesite.Example: search area number: 1050; site number: 1050AThe site number has to be unique. A site number can only be changed by the radio planningdepartment.

Acquisition Company:

To be filled by acquisition company:Site Number is defined in accordance with search area report. A letter will be added to thesearch area number. The letter does not indicate the priority of the site.Example: search area number: 1050; site number: 1050AThe site number has to be unique. A site number can only be changed by the radio planningdepartment.To be filled by acquisition company:Site Name is defined as site address.To be filled by radio planning department:The radio planning department defines a Rank and Quality Index from their radio planningpoint of view after the evaluation of several sites. The radio planning department has the rightto change these values afterwards. Available neighbour sites have an influence on the siteranking and quality index. Both values are also given to the acquisition on the Radio planningevaluation document.

To be filled by acquisition company:Co-ordinates should be taken by the GPS with one digit after the comma. The GPS shouldregister several satellites to be more accurate. The requested co-ordination system is:(European 1950)To be filled by acquisition company:The height of a site is defined as building height in meter.To be filled by acquisition company:The number of floors can be distinguished in a ground floor, the other floors and an elevatorbox or extra high floor. Example: 1+ 6+ 1 means a house with a bigger ground floor, 6 otherfloors and an elevator box.To be filled by acquisition company:A description and pictures of other transmitting antennas is required. The frequency band isalso of interest.
