Practical applications of and differences between optimisation
Candidate site: A candidate site is a user-defined location at which intelligent optimisers can place equipment. This option is generally used when there are a limited number of locations where equipment can be placed on-site or where equipment must be co-located.
Candidate region: A candidate region is a user-defined polygon in which intelligent optimisers can place equipment. This option is generally applicable when working with green field sites or sites. Additionally, candidate regions can be used to identify where existing cable tray runs are so that they are considered in the optimisation process.
