Local measurement: for a single jumper Remote measurement: for a batch of BTSs

Local measurement: The engineer takes the Sitemaster to the site, remove the jumpers and feeders,
and then measures the VSWR of each jumper.
Remote measurement: The engineer runs MML command on the M2000 or LMT in the OMC
equipment room. The precise VSWR values are instantly displayed on the M2000 or LM.

Features-2
Remote high precision VSWR measurement has the following features:
The VSWR of multiple BTSs is measured after the MML command is run at the remote OMC,
and no Sitemaster is required.
At a site in typical configuration (three sectors, six jumpers), the VSWR measurement is
complete in two minutes.
The measurement time for a single BTS is shorter than three minutes. If the VSWR is equal to
or lower than 1.4, the precision is 0.2.

Benefits and Scenarios
Benefits
High measurement efficiency
Compared with local measurement on the Sitemaster, the average efficiency of remote
measurement increases by 10 folds.
Low requirements for expertise
The VSWR measurement is carried out through MML command execution, and no on-site
intervention is required. Thus, the remote VSWR measurement has low requirements for
expertise.
Low service cost
The expense of Sitemaster and labor cost is saved.
Short period of service disruption and high customer satisfaction
For remote VSWR measurement, it takes about two minutes for each BTS before the services
are resumed.
Restriction
High precision Remote VSWR Test is used for transmission path only
Scenarios
Scenario 1: engineering acceptance by the customer; raising the acceptance efficiency
Scenario 2: engineering acceptance by Huawei; monitoring the engineering quality of the contractor
Scenario 3: before putting the BTS into use; shortening the period of service disruption

Site: China Mobile, Guang'an, Sichuan Province
Time:April,2009
Model: BTS3012
Measurement statistics: 22 results
Precision: No comparison statistics is available. As local VSWR measurement on the
Sitemaster requires that the jumpers be disconnected, the customer does not allow
local VSWR measurement because the BTS is running on the network.

Wireless product senior supervisor of XXX office
The function, remote high precision VSWR measurement, is the ideal solution for BTS VSWR measurement and
considerably raises delivery efficiency.
In the past, the engineers had to take the Sitemaster to the sites to measure the VSWRs. In addition to the high
cost and complicated operations of the Sitemaster, the local measurement on the Sitemaster involves issues like
negotiation with the equipment room owner, service cost, long period of service disruption, and low customer
satisfaction. VSWR measurement, especially for multiple BTSs, used to be a big headache because of manpower
and material coordination. However, with the remote high precision VSWR measurement, all these problems
disappear. It is definitely worth of recommendation.

Wireless product technical service engineer of XXX office

During batch BTS cutover, it always happens that VSWR-related alarms are reported due to quality problems in the
antenna system. Typically, the quality problems are introduced during engineering work. As it is impossible to have
several Sitermasters or ask the contractor to perform VSWR measurement due to cost concerns, the VSWR
measurement becomes the bottleneck when VSWR-related alarms are reported at multiple sites. Compared with
local VSWR measurement, remote VSWR measurement is more efficient, has less impact on services, and
significantly reduces on-site workload. The function would be perfection if fault location is also incorporated.
