2 OPTIMIZERRooftop Balance characterizes premium design it differentiates art from work ; brilliance from a good idea. In engineering design, this balance objective extends far beyond the mere mechanical. Excellent design seeks to strike a balance between key design criteria to balance aesthetics, elegance, cost and performance. Such balance is the essence of Radio Frequency Systems Optimizer family of base station antenna solutions, and is at the heart of its newest addition the RFS Optimizer Rooftop 2

3 RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEMS Taking it to the roof A global collaboration The world-over, wireless carriers are viewing building rooftops as important potential urban base station sites, particularly for emerging third-generation (3G) and 3.5G wireless network deployments. Although rooftop spaces offer unique base station site benefits, these are coupled with serious challenges. The sites are highly sought-after, can be difficult to access, and at hundreds of meters above street level demand the best of 3G/3.5G RF performance. Above all, site negotiations involving rooftops are delicate and challenging. Efficient site negotiation is the key factor to any network roll-out-and this is never truer than for the urban rooftop site. Quite simply, achieving minimal visual impact is the make-or-break factor in any rooftop site negotiation. Beyond aesthetics, the rooftop base station needs to address the complex mix of needs the main stakeholders: the procurement teams, installation crews, site acquisition, network planners and project managers. The rooftop environment demands a unique base station design a tailored approach Unique solutions have unique origins. RFS s Optimizer Rooftop is the result of more-than-50-years experience in RF systems and base station technology the world-over. In creating Optimizer Rooftop, RFS drew on its in-house industry expertise a wealth of knowledge in areas as diverse as base station antennas, towers, transmission line and RF conditioning. A global multi-disciplined team focussed on every detail, ranging from antenna azimuth adjustment through to structural analysis and jumper connector compatibility. Thousands of manhours in centres of excellence across the globe resulted in the world s only built-for-purpose rooftop solution the Optimizer Rooftop.

As a result, it achieves rooftop surface pressures as low as 150 kg/square meter (31 lbs/square ft). Absolute positioning flexibility The Optimizer Rooftop s star base achieves optimal positioning convenience, allowing it to discretely fit within the most congested sites. All-in-all, the Optimizer Rooftop ensures minimal impact on the rooftop environment, streamlining any rooftop site acquisition and lease renewal process. easy-on-the-rooftop 5

6 OPTIMIZERRooftop On-air The Optimizer Rooftop has been purpose-built to dramatically cut labour and equipment costs. Clever component-level design ensures minimal capex, plus reduced impact on the day-to-day building operations during installation. Best of all, the entire assembly process from on-the-street to on-air can typically be completed in just four hours. Crane-free installation With a typical maximum component length of just 2.2 meters (7.25 ft), the Optimizer Rooftop can easily be transported, from street-level to rooftop, using conventional building access ways (stairways or elevators). No crane or lifting equipment is required. Installation with a team of two The entire Optimizer Rooftop assembly breaks down into conveniently light and manoeuvrable components, with the slender mast designed to be effortlessly tilted into position. The entire installation can be completed easily with a team of just two. Concrete-free/fixing-free assembly As the Optimizer Rooftop does not rely on concrete ballast, the components are typically less than 30 kg (66 lbs) in weight. It requires no fixing down or rooftop drilling. Positioning flexibility The Optimizer Rooftop s unique base design permits absolute positioning flexibility, ensuring quick location in the most congested sites. The star configuration base permits easy location around existing rooftop fixtures and equipment. Azimuth flexibility The Optimizer Rooftop offers 360-degrees of azimuth adjustment prior to final jumper cable connection, and a full +/-20 degree azimuth adjustment on each sector, postjumper connection. Factory pre-commissioned Factory pre-commissioning of the Optimizer Rooftop ensures premium reliability and fast and easy site commissioning. 6
