Site Acceptance (SA)

Once a site has been tested for its potential use in the network, it is determined
to either be acceptable or not acceptable. For this section, the
assumption will be that the site is acceptable for use by the RF Engineering department as a communication facility. It is imperative that the
desires of the RF Engineering department be properly communicated to all
the departments within the company in a timely fashion. The method of
communication can be done verbally at first, based on time constraints, but
a level of documentation must follow that will ensure that the design objectives
are properly communicated.
The forms outlined later in the chapter are meant to be general guides
and might need to be modified based on your particular requirements.
Before the site acceptance (SA) is released, it is imperative that it go
through the design review process to ensure that nothing is overlooked. The
SA will be used to communicate the RF Engineering department’s intention
for the site and will be a key source document used by Real Estate, Construction,
Operations, and the various subgroups within the Engineering
department itself.
The SA will also need to be given a document control number to ensure
that changes in personnel during the project are as transparent as possible.
