Co-siting

Co-siting is a situation in which an operator wishes to locate equipment on a property, such as a building rooftop, that is already being used by another operator but where the property is not wholly controlled, owned or leased by that other operator.  The owner of the property may require the first operator’s consent before the owner will allow the other operator to locate and operate its equipment on that property.

Some properties, for geographical and other reasons, are more favourable for the location of radio facilities and it is important that their use is optimised.

A non-regulated code establishing rules for co-siting was endorsed by the TCF in December 2007. The Co-siting Code will help optimise industry use of valuable sites, maximising the coverage of networks with a flow-on effect of reducing costs to the providers.
