    ABSTRACT:
    GR-3178 supplies specific supplementary criteria for the protective closures or boxes used to house selected wireless transceiver
    facilities. These facilities are designated as Wireless Transceiver Facilities (WiTFs) and include equipment with the
    transmitting/receiving capability associated with antennas, as well as the equipment needed for power, control, monitor, transmission,
    and backhaul of the wireless signals. The facilities covered include:
    • Active Antennas

    • Active Distributed Antenna Systems (DASs), including Indoor DAS (i-DAS), Outdoor DAS (o-DAS), and GPS Antenna systems.
    • Free-Space Optics (FSOs)

    • Remote Radio Heads (RRHs), including microwave systems.

    • Small Cells - femtocells, picocells, metrocells, microcells, and more.


    GR-3178 provides:
    • Commentaries on ambient air temperatures and operational temperatures expected in the Outside Plant (OSP) and inside buildings
      applications.

    • Guidance on installation, storage, and transportation conditions expected for the WiTF equipment and closures.

    • Commentary on the facility definitions and environmental and mechanical caveats, as well as a summary table of the functional
      performance requirements for WiTF closures.

    • Requirements relevant to the test protocols, deployment environments, and general physical design aspects for WiTF systems and
      closures.

    • Requirements intended to simulate actual installation and/or operating stresses to which the WiTF closure and system are expected
      to be exposed under normal operating conditions.


    This document is intended for the use of telecommunications service providers, original equipment manufacturers, systems
    integrators, and independent testing laboratories.

    GR-3178, Generic Requirements for Wireless Transceiver Facilities (Active Antennas, Distributed Antenna Systems [DAS],
    Free-Space Optics [FSOs], Remote Radio Heads [RRHs], and Small Cells),
