Course Overview

This course on Outdoor DAS and Small Cell Implementation streamlines the deployment process by illustrating key considerations at each stage and spotlighting impactful external factors. These topics cover access rights and easements for street furniture and pole attachments, relevant standards and codes for compliant installations, and best practices for implementing all system components. You'll learn optimal techniques for installing small cells on utility poles, addressing the unique challenges of positioning cellular equipment above power lines. With over 75% of small cells being mounted on utility poles, mastering these specialized practices is essential for successful deployment.

Intended Audiences

  • Personnel who have worked with macro sites and want to transition to DAS and small cells.
  • Decision-makers and operations personnel
  • Personnel who are responsible for, or involved in, the implementation of outdoor DAS and small cells.
