Study Notes

Survey and Design Process

Conducting a survey of the entire Node area is necessary to gather information about the existing network and infrastructure.
Surveyed data needs to be applied to the design and planning phase of the upgrade project.

Purpose of Surveying Equipment

A survey of the equipment in four corners of the node determines the type and condition of existing equipment.

Information from Node Area Survey

A survey of the entire Node area provides information about the layout, infrastructure, and existing equipment.

Design Process Phases

The two main phases of the design process are planning and implementation.

Walkout Purpose

The purpose of the walkout before design is to verify the existing infrastructure and equipment in the Node area.
The walkout verifies the accuracy of the surveyed data and ensures that the design is based on correct information.

Legacy Equipment Capability

Legacy equipment must be capable of passing 1218/258/204/5MHz signals.

Upgrade Design Project

The upgrade design project involves replacing existing equipment with new or upgraded equipment that supports high-split signals.

Upgrading Existing Networks

The intent when upgrading existing networks is to support high-split signals and ensure a successful rollout of the High-Split initiative.

'As-Built' Map Purpose

Creating an 'As-Built' map is necessary to document the existing network infrastructure and layout after the upgrade.

Priority when Upgrading Active Devices

The priority when upgrading active devices is to ensure that they can support 1218/258/204/5MHz signals.

Significance of Walkout Information

The walkout information collected prior to upgrading high-split projects is significant because it ensures accurate planning and design of the upgrade.
