Network Infrastructure Sharing

Site Sharing refers to the sharing of a site between two or more RF users. The new user can occupy the existing tower, build a new tower nearby or use any available space on a building. One must make sure not to disrupt the existing users at the site.

Why consider Site Sharing?

Wireless and mobile network operators are urged to share sites with existing infrasturcture owned or operated by other carriers, because of the effectiveness it provides in helping to meet market demand. Site Sharing simplifies much of the Site Acquisition process required to expand the coverage of new areas.

Possible site sharing options companies can utilise:

• Passive sharing allows companies to share passive or non-electronic infrastructure.

• Active sharing is the shared use of electronic infrastructure in a cell site, including the base tower station, switches, antennas, transmission and signal processing transceivers and microwave radio equipment.

• Spectrum-sharing is ultimately a lease agreement between two companies.

• Base Station sharing permits full independence from the new operator and each operator retains control

over active base station equipment hat control reception and transmission over radio channels. Radio network controller and core networks are not shared.

• Other types of site sharing options are available and these include site sharing, mast sharing, antenna sharing,

RNC (Radio Network Controller) sharing, backbone sharing (switch and router sharing), geographical splitting, frequency sharing, and base station sharing.

Firms have a lot of options available to them. Radio Network Solutions has the perfect site sharing solutions for all companies.
