1.
Path survey prices are for the continental
2. Air fare (ITEM-05) should always be added to a Path Survey. Air fare shown is an estimate for one surveyor. If multiple surveyors are required, multiple air fares should be quoted. Actual air fare will billed after the completion of the survey.
3. Use this price (ITEM-04) for unconnected paths in a multi-hop system.
4. The Path Survey price includes two copies of the survey report on CD-ROM. Additional copies of the report may be purchased at the prices shown (ITEM-06 and ITEM-07). The price of a printed report depends on the number of paths in the survey. For example, the price of a printed report for a 10 hop survey is: $35 + 17.50 x 10 = $210.
5. System maps are simple stick type maps showing site name and path distance. For drawings that contain “–098” type system information, contact Wireless Network Engineering.
6. For a feasibility study, most projects require a System Map, Path Design, and Performance Calculations (e.g., ITEM-09, ITEM-11, and ITEM-12). For a final design, most projects require a Path Survey, System Map, Path Design, and Performance Calculations.
7. Prices are for one pair of frequencies. Each additional frequency pair on the same path will be billed at these rates, up to a maximum of 4 pairs. There is no charge for the 5th frequency pair on the same path (or subsequent pairs). Frequency coordination for U.S. Common Carriers and Private operators normally includes Frequency Selection (ITEM-13 or ITEM-14), Prior Coordination (ITEM-15), and FCC License Application (ITEM-22).
8.
The 30 day Prior Coordination period may be
reduced using Expedited Prior Coordination (ITEM-16 and ITEM-17).
This charge is in addition to the
9. Alcatel can handle FCC Filing Fees, if the customer does not want to pay fees directly to the FCC (ITEM-23 and ITEM-24). Fees are for FCC Part 101 systems. The FCC does not charge licensing fees for state and local governments (including education).
10. License application preparation includes the technical and administrative portions of the FCC 601 form. Alcatel does not act as an FCC liaison for customers applying for licenses. Many customers consult with an FCC lawyer to answer regulatory questions, write waiver requests, and expedite action by the Commission.
11. Hourly rates may be used in lieu of prices for Feasibility Study, Path Design, and Frequency Selection / Coordination.
12.
Prior Coordination Notices (“
6 months, indefinitely.
This is called a “Reiteration”.
Microwave operators may use reiterations to hold frequencies for
future growth. However, the
FCC requires growth channels to be released if another operator is
unable to coordinate a frequency and requires the growth channel.
13. The FCC requires a Completion of Construction notice to be filed for each microwave site. Customers normally file this notice electronically using ULS. Alcatel will include this the administrative portions of the FCC 601 form (ITEM 22).
14. This additional filing fee is required if the customer is requesting a waiver of the FCC rules. Note that if a waiver is filed, the microwave path cannot be put into operation until the FCC license is granted (i.e., Conditional Licensing is not allowed, where the path is put into operation as soon as the license application is filed).
15.
International frequency coordination requires data entry of the complete
frequency database. Frequency
coordination companies like Comsearch do not have access to frequency
databases for foreign countries and must build a new database.
