The Physical Trade-Offs of Small vs. Tall Transmitters and Rack-Mountable vs. Self-Standing Integrated Racks
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
While a lot of focus is spent on comparing specifications, performance and efficiency when buying a new transmitter, there are many physical attributes of modern transmitter design that also deserve consideration. Much of this may be common sense, but it doesn’t hurt to take a moment to review the physical trade-offs of small vs. tall transmitters and rackmountable vs. self-standing integrated racks.
This white paper considers:
- Ergonomics & Safety
- Heat Load & Ventilation
- Installation
- Maintenance & Support
- Total Cost of Ownership
- Transmitter Weight
- Ease of Access for Maintenance
- Reliability
- Redundancy & Hot-Swap Modules
