RF Planning More than 1700 sites in Morocco, Iraq and Gabon Different Planning Tools with Multi vendor experience Complete Radio planning, turnkey package or partially tasks or assistance Nominal cell plans to determine overall structure of radio network, used in searching for suitable site locations Traffic dimensioning (No of Subs and traffic per Sub, GOS and traffic distribution) Nominal cell plan and traffic dimensioning combined with the spectrum available give an indication of number of sites, cells and configuration. Essential data for system design consist the basis for core & Radio dimensioning

Frequency planning based on the available frequency spectrum and band in addition to site capacities Propagation predictions to verify per cell and composite coverage and interference levels iii. Transmission Planning Multi vendor experience in configuration and Network Management System Nominal transmission plan to determine overall structure of transmission network, crossed with nominal cell plan in searching for suitable site locations Traffic dimensioning (Traffic/circuit per site, GOS, No of sites and provision) Nominal transmission plan combined with spectrum, site capacities, priority & required link availability determine the connectivity, number of circuits, links and configuration Frequency planning based on spectrum, distances and regulations Caters for Candidate site selection and validation, New site positioning & integration, regulations, interconnectivity, site locations, layered networks, diversity systems, protection & synchronization, LOS, type and height of tower, interference analysis, path profiling & clearance, link profiling & power budgets, path losses & fading and Backbone Link and protocol testing Interconnection requirements to other networks, PSTN, capacities and protocols used.

Site Survey
More than 1200 site / LOS surveys through involvement with clients in different projects in Belarus, Morocco, Iraq, Liberia, Syria, Sudan Teams fully adopted to various RF propagation conditions ranging from desert areas to water bodies and mountain terrains, dry to tropical weather, rural to dense urban clutter Acquaintance with tools and programs required Field investigations, including all regulations, prior to definitive radio site choice These target areas are then investigated and evaluated as to their suitability Given a search area radius, several potential locations are identified for each site, which are then investigated from RF point of view
