Small Cell- Things that can go much efficient during site walks
- ROW - Site walk keeping ROW map handy during initial design, as 20% of the total project time gets wasted relocating a site which doesn't fall under ROW
- High tension lines - It gets really difficult to squeeze in everything in a small available ROW and maintaining safe distance. Relocating small cells again contributes to inefficient use of time
- Location- Small cells kept near the entrance of any premises mostly gets kicked back though it was designed within ROW limits, such locations can be avoided
- ROWs near Residential - Such locations can be avoided, most likely gets rejected by authorities
- Electric line work:- See if you can find a location which can capture same target without line work needed - Quick turnaround
- Small cell RAD - Keep a track of nearby Pole heights (utility pole most common) during initial site walks; as most of the time we are only allowed to go up to that height

Spot on Gaurang!! It is not always what looks ideal on paper but what can be entitled,built and made available to subscribers quicker.I guess your recommendation is if about 70 to 80% of the design criterion is met focus on a quick build as opposed to trying for the unicorn and building it after 3 or 4 years hence!! Point of diminishing returns...
