Environmental
Earthquake prone site yes/no:
Coastal or other corrosive
atmosphere yes/no:
Exposed to high winds yes/no:
High ambient temperatures:
Access in all seasons:
If yes, special attention to equipment
anchoring will be needed.
If yes, extra attention to anti-corrosion
measures may be needed for the exposed
equipment such as antennas, lightning
surge suppressors, connectors, ground
connection points and ODUs.
If yes, this may affect the choice of antenna,
its mount and bracing. High winds may also
affect installation scheduling.
If the site is subject to periods of high
ambient temperatures Check that:
1) Adequate cooling (aircon or fans) is
provided for the equipment room.
2) If also a high solar-gain site, note if a sunshade for the ODU (split-mount installations)
should be considered.
Note the expected impairment to site
access during seasonal rain, snow and ice.

this site:
Far end site references and coordinates:

references.
Path length(s):
Required antenna height(s):
List the required height on the structure for
each antenna.
Azimuth to far end(s):
Compass bearings (magnetic or true north).
Path profile status:
1) If path profile(s) have been completed, do
they support use of the site.
2) If not completed, or if further checks are
required, explain status.

and its protection configuration.
Link equipment model, capacity,
