PURPOSE

  • The purpose of this document is to assist field teams, designers, OHS and other Gigacomm employees and partners to assess a buildings viability for a Gigacomm service. This Document designed to assist in the understanding of the building topography and layout for design, installation and safety requirements for Gigacomm services and future upgrades.

Embedded Network - (Free- to-Air Coax utilisation)

  • Does the site currently utilise an embedded network to supply their internet services?

  • Define the Embedded Network provider

  • Is there a, base building owned, structured copper cabling network throughout the building and to all apartments that can be utilised for a GigaComm standard installation?

  • Proceed with SDV as per standard installation requirement

  • Proceed with a Coax Site Design Survey

  • Identify satellite and Free-to-air antenna’s (FTA) on rooftop. Provide photos.

  • Find ‘first’ splitter and/or amplifier and identify whether the coax is one of the following:

  • a. Shared (Sat and FTA)

  • b. Single use Satellite

  • c. Single use FTA

  • Provide the number of coax cables going up and down the riser

  • Number of coax cables entering each apartment

  • The type of coaxial cable (RG59, RG6, RG11) – RG59 is bad, RG6 is good, RG11 is best - IF FOUND RG59 THEN DO WE CONSIDER SDV COMPLETE??

  • If previously identified as a shared, no further work required, consider SDV complete

  • If not Shared, continue with SDV

  • Provide description of model names and technologies used for splitters, amplifiers, diplexers.

  • Provide High-res photos of splitters, amplifiers, diplexers etc (for the three upper most floors and a fourth lower floor with coax/splitter hardware) so as to identify operating frequencies (ie. 5 – 694MHz, 5 – 2400MHz etc)

  • Provide a rough wiring diagram showing rooftop cable entry to splitters, amplifiers, diplexers etc including signal direction (in/out) - For the three upper most levels along with a lower level that contains coax/splitter hardware

  • Provide Photos of MDF Jumpering Record Book and all written pages

  • Provide Photos of all IDF Jumpering Record Book and all written pages

  • Provide general photos of any existing Carriers Equipment in and around the MDF Room

IN BUILD EQUIPMENT

  • Roof top wall box (RTWB)?

  • FOBOT?

  • DPU?

  • 9RU Cabinet?

  • Are you proposing 9 RU in a location other than MDF Room or where Telstra Lead-in comes in.

  • Gigacomm require a presence in MDF for a fibre lead-in, therefore please provide photos of suitable location for an HD FOBOT in MDF Room.

  • Provide path and distance for a fibre cable tie from HD FOBOT to 9 RU. ( Please note: this is required even if an antenna mount design is proposed).

  • If available space doesn't allow for a 9 RU cabinet, will a 5 RU Shallow Cabinet or 6 or 4 RU Cabinet Fit?

  • ROOF TOP INFORMATION
  • Identify Building Eg. 1 of 3 or Block A

  • Existing Penetration?

  • Check for suitable location to install Gigacomm equipment (antenna to be installed at highest practical location allowing for a 360* panorama view, Rooftop wallbox to be installed at a height for easy access/maintenance)

  • Check for existing rooftop earthing (earthing bar, existing steel structure, existing lighting arrestor)

  • If NO existing earthing - propose suitable path to nearest earth point or switch room earth bar. (Include photo artefacts)

  • Mark-up distance from existing arrestor to propose antenna frame/dish

  • Please provide photos of fire stairs for antenna mount transportation to the roof. (Wide angle photo)

  • How do we access the roof? (eg. Portable ladder, existing stairs or hatch etc)

  • Provide measurement of roof access hatch or door

  • Provide photos of existing anchor points and current proof of valid certification.

  • PROPOSED EQUIPMENT DETAILS
  • Identify Building Eg. 1 of 3 or Block A

  • Proposed Rooftop ANTENNA Location

  • Distance b/w RTWB & Riser (m). Provide marked up photos to support

  • Proposed DPU LOCATION (s)?

  • What is distance between each DPU and furthest apartment (m)?Max. copper distance for each DPU , 70m. GigaComm allows 75m but this should affect very few apartments (Calculation for the furthest apartment should factor in additional 10m from the front door of the apartment to the phone jack point. )
