During Swap

All Sites are outdoor sites & have not enough space on the BTS Pad to install the
Huawei BTS there in parallel with existing BTS working there. So this kind of swap falls in
HOT swap (first dismantle existing BTS & Power system & then install Huawei BTS &
power system). For this kind of swap where we have single band BTS the outage window
required is 4.5-5hours for the BTS Cabinet & Power System Swap. Details of the Activities
are as follows
