Multi-Net - Network

• Network impact
• Depending on the system generation, RF
  components such as combiners, couplers,
  splitters, multiplexers and antennas may not
  support the new spectrum
• Repeater site and network controller software
  does not currently support the new channel
  mapping
• Network strategy
• Repeater sites will be evaluated for required
  hardware upgrade or retuning
• Repeater and site controllers will be upgraded
  with new software
• Installation of temporary coverage may be needed
  during retuning of individual sites
• Some customizations and special applications
  integrated into networks in the past may require
  additional effort.
