• RJM staff experience includes RF support of the national political conventions, DNC, RNC, the Pope visit, many stadium venues and plans for the 1996 Olympic Games
• Customized applications including tunnel designs, in-building applications, small cell designs and stadium/campus venues

The task of leasing and zoning targeted sites and nodes is a challenging yet vital component in network deployment and expansion. RJM has developed valuable site acquisition capabilities on a wide variety of sites and in many different communities. With our strength of knowledge and experience, RJM can provide successful results in time, quantity and quality of acquired sites.

• Experience in site evaluation, leasing and zoning in various states
• Lease negotiation and review, zoning ordinance review and preparation and presentation for site hearings
• Extensive experience encompasses leasing and zoning in multiple communities including those in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Georgia, and other areas
• Interfacing with outside legal support can be provided internally or coordinated with client’s resources
• High degree of interaction with RF engineering and site implementation groups

Evaluating the performance of wireless networks and their components is a critical task that points a technical staff in the proper direction. RJM can provide valuable services to assist in this effort. Different levels of data can be collected and analyzed based on each customer’s particular needs. RJM possesses the experience and flexibility to adapt to the various test scenarios that may be desired.

• Field walk tests or drive tests, data collection and system evaluation
• Performance analysis, competitive benchmarking, and statistical historical trending
• CW testing including site access and set-up coordination
• Walk tests in specific venues and campus areas, and drive tests over the road
• RJM has performed many tests in stadiums and in-building environments
• Coordination with test venue personnel
• Personnel provided including test equipment/devices if needed, and test vehicles as well
• Coordination with RF engineering team for real time system adjustments
• Participation in parameter fine tuning and quality evaluations

RJM is able to provide the capability to address networking and interconnect issues. Whether it be a new system layout, or an expansion to an existing network, RJM can address the work scope. With the increasing number of interconnect options currently available, proper analysis is necessary to assure the most effective interconnect scheme. With experience deploying various networks, RJM can deliver timely, cost effective and reliable interconnect plans.
