Abstract

Mobile communication towers are important component of mobile communication system for civil and military applications. The major part of technical equipment of mobile communication system is concentrated on these towers. These towers have geographical separation and they are normally unmanned. In remote areas especially away from towns the alternate routes for communication in the system may not be available. Therefore high degree of serviceability of these towers is very essential. This can be ensured by having inbuilt reliability of equipment, easy fault finding, availability of repair facility, spares required for repairs and technical competence. All these factors require capital which is always a constraint. Total system is required to be optimized for desired serviceability of towers with capital constraints.
