A sensitive and unobtrusive installation
was required for the heritage listed Sydney Harbour Bridge.
This installation is an active optic fibre distributed antenna
system. TCI negotiated with the Roads Authority on behalf
of three carriers the scope of works for the site. The project
was designed with consideration for the bridge's heritage
status. The installation was successfully coordinated with
the Roads Authority with no resulting interruption to traffic.
Pairs of back-to-back antennas were fixed to the overhead
signalling structure over the road deck between lanes 4 &
5. The BTS equipment, located within the southern pylon, is
some 600m from the northern antennas. To link the subsystem
to the BTS, a fibre link was run under the road deck to an
Optic Fibre-RF Converter at each antenna location.
All antennas and fixings were colour matched
in accordance with the planning requirement.
TCI installed cabins for both Optus and
Vodafone. The BTS equipment was installed prior to the crane
lift inside the bridge pylon.
