The mechanisms and an analytic approach for developing consistent rules, agreements, and-or methodologies for the evaluation and inter-entity cooperation managing pole attachments on utility infrastructure that can contain both electric supply as well as communications wireline and wireless facilities are identified by this guide. The common safety codes and accepted good industry practices for joint use are referenced, including items such as clearances and strength-loading requirements; appropriate work rules during installation, maintenance, and restoration; and general guidelines. The considerations within this guide can be used to help perform a detailed assessment of attachment installations where communications antennas and related wireline and wireless equipment are to be colocated on joint use structures.
