Answer #2: 

By analyzing and replacing a damaged hardware component within a Radio Base Station.

___________________

1. Damages within the "radios" of an RBS due to the internal components of that radio being burned out, damaged, or the cables are torn or ruined. In response we replace the Radio with one that is working.

2. Antennae for the RBS is not working, due to the cables being damaged, the connectors are loose or water damage caused the antennae to burn out. In response an RF Field Engineer, must contact a general contractor to come and replace the damaged components in the antennae, since they have the equipment to go to the top of the antenna.

3. Within the RBS their is always a Climate System (AC UNIT) that keeps the RBS cool, if damaged all of the hardware components become extremely hot in a short amount of time. An RF Field Engineer must contact an AC contractor to replace the AC unit.
