The examination for an unlicensed wireless systems installation engineer or an unlicensed wireless
systems installation technician is approximately four hours in duration. All examinations are given
with open book. The percentage required to pass the
examination is 70%.
Questions have been prepared in these essential areas for both engineers and technicians. For any
given examination, the set of questions will be pulled from a random selection of the inventory of
examination questions.
Unlicensed wireless systems fundamentals covered in the examination include but are not limited to
the following subjects:
- Unlicensed RF systems design
- System installation
- Theory in site survey
- Site survey practices
- Regulatory Requirements
- Performance of RF safety studies
- Antenna systems
- Tower requirements
- Network support
- Software troubleshooting
- RF transmission line theory
- System integration
- Performance of on-site modifications
The percentage required to pass the examination is 70%. This may be achieved by adding to the
percentage made on the examination paper one half of 1% for each extra year of experience
satisfactory to iNARTE above the minimum required (nine years for Engineers, six years for
Technicians). No candidate is considered as having passed who received less than 60% on his or
her examination paper, thus the maximum percentage allowed for experience is 10%.
