Proposed Mobile solution

The mobile coverage solution is based on upgrading to a custom repeater hub with Cel-Fi repeater modules that will be remotely managed.
This system is to provide in building cellular coverage by relaying specific 3G and 4G network signals into the building area served by the proposed in building antennas.
The purpose of relaying 3G and 4G signals into the building areas is to primarily provide cellular coverage to assist with making telephone calls.
A secondary service is to provide data to user mobiles and ancillary devices such as modems, EFTPOS, cellular based Nurse Call systems, and internet for mobiles.
Note:
Data speeds are not guaranteed via mobile broadband, and the client is recommended to use other means where guaranteed data access speeds are required.

Scope
The proposal outlines the distributed antenna system (DAS) design, illustrating
  • site analysis - desk top survey and on-site test measurements and inspections,
  • the proposed internal and external antenna locations,
  • repeater equipment,
  • concept diagram
  • equipment specifications
  • list of required materials
  • Labour to fit off equipment excluding cabling

Managed Service FAQ and Time and Materials

Managed Service Agreement FAQ – Mobile Coverage Solution 23 August 2018

1. Who physically and remotely manages the solution and how to contact in the event of faults?
As the installation partner of LETS Proeye Communications and Security Systems is the primary point of contact for faults and emergencies relating to the installed repeater system/s. Proeye and its authorised contractors may attend the site in-person to maintain the infrastructure. The offer includes remote management of the repeaters, via Proeye's private network solution. This network allows remote management and monitoring of the installed repeaters for Woolworths MSRDC, using manufacturer (Nextivity) supported tools integrated by Proeye. Additionally, the remote connectivity solution allows Proeye to maintain the repeaters with the latest configuration for the spectrum authorised by the Mobile Telecommunications provider. All cabinets installed by Proeye are labelled with the contact information.

2. Is there an option for time and materials (T&M) instead of managed?
Telecommunications providers routinely update their network configurations without notice. Those changes have previously led to repeaters not functioning as expected and being disconnected from the network. In a T&M arrangement, regular updates to the repeaters would require in-person visits by Proeye representatives who would upgrade each repeater manually. It is important to note that repeaters are may be installed in hard-toreach locations, secure areas where access is generally available, or an agreed time to access site is lengthy and costly. The remote management solution enables online access to efficiently and remotely fault find and resolve, conduct firmware upgrades, optimisation, re-configuration and where necessary log data for fault analysis. LETS together with Proeye can offer a tailored managements solution where online management of repeaters to undertake firmware upgrades and fault analysis is separated from an onsite T&M. If a remote managed solution only scopes online management of repeaters, a technician required to go to site to resolve underlying issues, T&M will be charged accordingly as an extra cost.

3. What is the End of Service Life (EoSL) look like?
The repeaters being installed as part of the solution are typically current hardware models for the relevant network provider. End of sale, End of life, EoSL, End of Hardware support and End of Software support have not been are applicable to the following repeaters. End of Hardware and End of Software support will be three years from the manufacturer's End of Life announcement.

EME limits are set by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) and laid out in the ARPANSA Standard, which is based on scientific research. Allowable EME levels are set well below levels at which harm to people may occur.
Refer Radiation Protection Standard for Maximum Exposure Levels to Radiofrequency Fields - 3 kHz to 300 GHz (2002).
The Mobile Phone Repeater solutions designed and installed by us are exempt deemed to comply with the EME standard due to the nature of the installation and the low RF Power exposure.
The repeater output Power can be up to 20dBm or 100mW. However, when adding more services, for example two 20dBm services equate to 23dBm or (100mW + 100mW) = 200mW. Therefore, providing all three networks from the repeater to the antenna are designed not to reach the 33dBm or 2Watt limit to the antenna. Therefore, Tx power into the Antenna from the solution will be deemed to comply against the EME requirements.
Hence in multi-antenna distributed antenna installations, the output power will be much lower.
Therefore, our solutions are deemed to comply regarding Electromagnetic Radiation (EME) by the very nature of the very low output power. These devices are normally operated away from the human body therefore Radiofrequency exposure from these devices are very low.
A user mobile phone provides greater RF exposure to the user by the very nature of how an end user uses their mobile phone and keeps it close to their body.
The benefit of employing a mobile repeater assists relaying the mobile signal between the end user and the cell base station. By improving the signal to the end user and mobile base station enables the end user mobile device to operate at lower power levels, therefore increasing battery life and reducing RF exposure to the end user and others in the area.
