Confirming technical aspects is key

Noise testing on a TSNZ LMR site

Technology behind the scenes will deliver a network that never fails

Once the site location process is complete and the design is finished, TSNZ teams and trusted vendors begin technical assessments to confirm the site is ready for construction. 

One of the key tests is ‘noise’ and interference testing. This involves setting up temporary equipment on-site to check for any existing noise or radio interference in the surrounding area that could compromise the quality of the signal.

Noise is caused by many factors, including other radio transmissions in the area, the impact of large electrical machinery in the vicinity and even rusty fences. 

These tests are crucial to ensure that the network will operate clearly and reliably, especially in situations where emergency services depend on uninterrupted communication. 

For co-location sites, structural inspections are also carried out to confirm that existing towers can safely accommodate additional equipment. This includes verifying antenna mounting positions and cable routing and ensuring there’s enough space for electrical equipment.  

These tests confirm the site is fit for purpose and ready for the next critical step: the build.
