How do you verify antenna alignment?

We use compass and inclinometer for initial azimuth and tilt setting, supplemented by RF measurement tools and network drive tests where required by the operator.

What is PIM testing and why is it important?

Passive intermodulation (PIM) is interference generated by non-linear passive components such as connectors and cable. PIM testing verifies that installed antennas and feeders meet operator thresholds before the site goes live.

Do you work at heights on guyed masts and tall towers?

Yes — our rope access and tower-climbing teams are trained and certified to work safely at any height on all tower types, including guyed masts over 60 m.
