Why don operators share sites?
Operators are entering into more and more site-sharing agreements where that is a viable option. However, limitations on site sharing include: technology. In some cases, transmission frequencies (900 and 1800 MHz) will interfere with each other if placed wrongly. Apart from this, the placing of sites within each operator’s network is designed to give maximum coverage. A particular site may be appropriate to one operator, but not another; amenity issues. Site-sharing entails more than one antenna, which may not be what the local community wants to see.
