Number	Best Practice
13-10-0470	Network Operators and Property Managers should consider tower and antenna designs that do not attract bird and animal nesting (e.g., no platforms, flush mounted panels, smooth radome).
13-10-0471	Network Operators, Property Managers, and Public Safety should consider remote, electronic antenna aiming and utilize tower-mounted equipment that minimizes the need for tower top maintenance where conditions prevent climbs (e.g., osprey nest, weather conditions).
13-10-0472	Network Operators, Public Safety, and Equipment Suppliers should consider connector choices and color coding to prevent inappropriate combinations of cables.
13-10-0473	Network Operators, Property Managers, and Public Safety should consider maintaining a list of authorized climbers and a log of authorized tower climbs.
13-10-0474	Network Operators, Property Managers, and Public Safety should periodically perform grounds maintenance at cell site facilities (e.g., pest control, mow grass, fence maintenance, snow removal).
13-10-0475	Network Operators, Property Managers, and Public Safety should have agreements in place to ensure necessary and timely access to cell sites.
13-10-0477	Network Operators and Public Safety should consider the potential of electromagnetic coupling when designing cell sites with high voltage FAA beacons and, if present, take appropriate steps to mitigate the interference (e.g., squelch, physical separation, shielding).
13-10-0478	Network Operators and Public Safety should allow for deviation in elevation angle and azimuth resulting from deflection of the supporting structure (e.g., sun, load distribution, wind) during the design of a cell site.
13-10-0480	Network Operators, Property Managers, and Public Safety should periodically inspect antennas, waveguide, and ancillary hardware to insure physical integrity and the absence of physical movement which can create intermittent and localized intermodulation interference generators (e.g., rusty joints) and/or alter predicted antenna radiation patterns (e.g., antennas swinging around in the wind) potentially creating interference.
13-10-0481	Network Operators, Property Managers, and Public Safety should ensure appropriate spacing between all antennas at a cell site in order to avoid interference, intermodulation, or other detrimental effects.
13-10-0482	Network Operators and Public Safety should utilize RF propagation and other modeling tools to analyze and optimize designs to avoid interference and improve network performance.
13-10-0483	Network Operators and Public Safety should have a master cell site database with configuration parameters, connectivity, and performance statistics that can be used to analyze and audit cell site performance.
13-10-0484	Network Operators and Public Safety should have a program (e.g., automated drive test equipment, network probes) to monitor and detect network performance anomalies.
13-10-0486	Network Operators should have an ongoing RF (Radio Frequency) performance improvement process to reduce air interface issues related to blocks, drops, and access failures.
13-10-0487	Network Operators and Property Managers should have procedures in place to identify and correct degradations in cell site performance resulting from defects in feedlines and antennas (e.g., moisture, vandalism, kinking).
13-10-0488	Network Operators, Service Providers, and Public Safety should consider registering critical circuits with Telecom Service Priority (TSP).
13-10-0489	Network Operators, Service Providers, Equipment Suppliers, and Public Safety should consider provisions in labor contracts to provide for cooperation between union and non-union personnel during disaster recovery situations.
13-10-0490	Network Operators, Service Providers, and Public Safety should consult NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association) Standards for guidance in the design of fire suppression systems, and, when building code regulations require sprinkler systems, should seek an exemption for the use of non-destructive systems.
13-10-0492	Network Operators, Property Managers, and Public Safety should provide back-up power (e.g., some combination of batteries, generator, fuel cells) at cell sites and remote equipment locations, consistent with the site specific constraints, criticality of the site, the expected load and reliability of primary power.
13-10-0493	Network Operators, Property Managers, and Public Safety should consider placing fixed power generators at cell sites, where feasible.
