AI Summary
Rooftop refresh swaps three VMO2 antennas for updated kit, adds extra RRUs, GPS and cabling, with most gear hidden in chimney-style shrouds to limit visual bulk. .
Original Description
The proposed rooftop upgrade comprises the removal of 3 No. existing VMO2 antennas and 2 No. RRU units, and the installation of 3 No. replacement antennas. 1No. wall mounted and 2 No. located within GRP chimney stack shrouds. In addition, 4 No. new RRU units (12 No. total) will be installed, mounted either to the back of the antenna poles or ERS rails. The upgrade also includes the addition of 1 No. GPS module, along with associated works such as vertical cable trays and internal upgrades to existing equipment rooms. The upgrade of existing equipment is considered appropriate for the surrounding area, as it achieves the required coverage while minimising visual impact. It is also considered preferable to the introduction of new standalone infrastructure.
