Failure and weak points of the installed equipment is discussed as well as the up-time statistic. The effectiveness of the predictive versus the extraordinary maintenance is presented. The gained operational experience has allowed the planning of the priorities to refit the installed components within a reasonable budget, in compliance with the user-operation time schedule and following the technical need of upgrading to improve the RF system performance.
