SUMMARY
an axiata company

COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL

Proposal

There are 3 options were identified for Macro Common Antenna Systems
(Macro-CAS).
- Quadband
- Triband
- Dualband

an axiata company

RF Planning Matter (Azimuth, Tilting & RF Antenna Height)

PM has the right to determine the Azimuth, Tilting and RF Antenna
height which subject to planning requirements.
Others telcos are not allowed to adjust any azimuth and antenna tilting
without consent from PM.
Structure height should be defined by PM.

Antenna Location
RF Antenna (mobile) on most upper level of the structure
Microwave on lower level of the structure

RRU Location
RRU located on ground level
Sacofa to provide boom for RRU Mounting and securities for all telcos
equipments, such as caging

All options have advantages and disadvantages

The best option from RF Planning point of view is Option 1
The best option from structure loading point of view is Option 3 but could
not accommodate all Telcos interest
The moderate option is suitable solution

Option Supply of antenna, jumper,

feeder
an axiata company

Option
Sacofa should supply the antenna, jumper and feeder for
common antenna sites.
Sacofa to provide the VSWR test acceptance.
In the event that Sacofa unable to deliver the above material
as per required date, PM have the right to provide those
material and handover to Sacofa upon completion.
Sacofa will be responsible for the maintenance, vandalism and
etc related to the antenna, jumper and feeder.
Rental substitution in contra for material supplied by PM to be
further discuss for commercial concern.

Special note to sesco, we appreciate this

collaboration between telcos and sesco in this
workshop. As much as we face challenges in
delivering with our customer needs, we believe
the same could be true for sesco. We hope
En. Rosli representatives from Sesco could
make a difference to closing the gap on
progress update on power application.
