agreed, that's why I thought 1.25 units by a two man crew was probably on the conservative side, as far as not overestimating their productivity. But it's a WAG, no doubt about it. I was trying to get an order of magnitude. It could still be double or half as much, but maybe not 10 times as much. (maybe)

Here is breakdown of a typical UMTS Basestation Installation - i.e the Basestation + Sectorised Antenna System. Figures quoted are 'man hours'. This is 'generic' for a 3rd generation UMTS basestation. Hotzone installs will likely be simpler in terms of the Transceiver units themselves, but the antennas should be about right. Excludes 'civil steelworks' - i.e Installation of Poles, Plinths for mounting kit

Draw your own conclusions for GTEM! Source = my own experience working within Mobile Industry, when working on a bid. This was fixed price per basestation, so obviously average travelling time neededto be factored in etc
