Unlike Capacity, Coverage, and Architecture, the ROM AP Calculator does not automate this step. Once the required AP count, coverage approach, and architecture have been established, identify the equipment and installation components required to deploy the system and complete the preliminary BoM. The calculator's Print/PDF export can be used as supporting material for an early quote request, but it is not a parts-level BoM. ### What to Include in the BoM The final BoM should include every component required to deploy and operate the selected architecture. * **Network Components**: Include the network infrastructure required to connect and operate the cellular system. The exact components depend on the architecture selected in *Step 3* [*Architecture*](/plan-your-network/architecture.md). * Onyx Edge servers or gateways * Access Points (APs) * Fronthaul Multiplexers (FHMs), where required * Ethernet or fiber switches * SFPs and other optical transceivers * Backhaul connectivity * **RF Components**: Include the RF components required to provide the planned coverage: * Antennas * Antenna cables * RF connectors * Mounting hardware * Sector antennas, where applicable * DAS components, where applicable For outdoor deployments, also account for the appropriate mounting and environmental requirements. * **Subscriber Components**: Include the components and information required to provision devices on the network: * SIMs * Subscriber/device inventory * Device-specific connectivity requirements The required subscriber components depend on the device population and deployment model. * **Installation Components**: Include the physical infrastructure required to install and operate the equipment: * AP mounting hardware * Rack hardware * Fiber cabling * Ethernet cabling * Power requirements * Grounding and surge protection, where required * Outdoor-rated enclosures, where applicable * Outdoor mounting components, where applicable --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.gxc.io/plan-your-network/accessories.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
