Telecommunications sites consist of satellite-fed television programming, digital data communications such as computer data links, cellular telephone systems, paging systems, digital and analog audio broadcast, broadcast systems and microwave communications.  These sites are usually rooftops of high-rise buildings or specially built towers.  The ever-expanding demand for personal communications demonstrates the future of telecommunications and the need for exemplary sites.  Broadcast Services exhibits precise insight and sharply focused vision in being able to anticipate the future direction of telecommunications and thereby creating sites capable of accommodating telecommunication needs and demands. 

Rooftop telecommunications require unique architectural features in order to derive the most income from the roof.  A rooftop can either be designed during the construction of the building with telecommunications in mind or existing rooftops can be modified for telecommunications while keeping the building’s aesthetics and/or historical value in mind.

Many factors are important in consideration of the potential of a site:

• Building height
• Building location relative to the city
• Proximity to an airport
• Structures surrounding the building
• Equipment space in near proximity to the roof
• Rooftop construction
• Aesthetic impact

Proper management of telecommunication sites includes sound and knowledgeable engineering that is vital to owners, managers and users.  Proper engineering prevents unnecessary interference of co-located systems and interactions with other radio-controlled systems, such as solid-state elevator controls, energy management systems, computer systems and radio and television located in the building.  Knowledge of the market area assures fair and accurate pricing.
