 Main Challenges & Approach
RTT Standardization is an opportunity to bring operational efficiencies and reduce dependencies on 3rd parties and control
infrastructure costs.
Main Challenges How are we doing it?
Patternless Fit for Single Purpose RTT structures Cataloged Site Design
Case–by-case site design leads to multiple structure types, variable Well-defined structure selection method creates a unified approach for
heights and custom-made solutions. Irregular statical calculation for the RTT site designs. Design offices to adopt Eurocode compliant
different structures from different Design offices. models and the respective component inventory enabling improved
control over the general site design.

Complex EMF Assessment Standardized structure blocks

EMF calculation process introduces non-uniform pole lengths due to Using standardized blocks with pre-defined/fixed pole lengths for the
the lack of alignment between radio and infrastructure. simulations will optimize the EMF workflow ensuring the radio
requirements are always covered by the standardized site structures.

Steel Ordering Lead Times Established Warehouse stock

Steel order lead times continuously growing are a key blocking point for Customer ready stock for faster site delivery and optimized steel
RTT site rollout process.
replenishment . Bulk orders to get price advantage of economy of scale.

High CW deployment complexity & Roof Diversity Reduce Deployment times & Construction Errors Mitigation
Rooftop sites bring specific challenges making each one a tailored Pre-defined part types and common connections will increase the ease
design/structure created to fulfill the demands of radio and of construction and reduce installation errors. Standard installation
maintenance of the building fabrics. guidelines simplifies handling and maintenance of steel structures.

RTT Standardization is intended to be a “one library fits all” approach thus securing flexibility and adaptability to
different roof types and site configurations.

• Every Site has unique items • Long lead times due to • High Quality Risks due to
