LTE Wireless Deployment Handbook
The LTE Small Cell, CRAN, oDAS, and Het Net Edition
The deployment of small cells, CRAN, and mini macros can be challenging. By preparing for all of the phases of deployment you can predict the problems and minimize them prior to sending anyone in the field. This preparation will be necessary to make the field work as cost effective as possible. This is where many companies get in trouble. They do not realize the complexity of the deployment nor do they look at all the phases required to make it a success. Planning is the key!
By understanding these issues ahead of time, you can set up a realistic timeline. You will also have properly trained people in the field because you took the time to consider all the nuances of each phase of deployment. The goal is to minimize the surprises before they become problems.
My goal is to help you along the way by arming you with the knowledge ahead of time. I can't include every detail of the deployment; your SOW and OEM training should help with that. I can prepare you for deployment with an understanding of general requirements for each step along the way.
