Cellular Expert project scope
The main purpose of the project was to design fixed WiMAX network in Alytus, Lazdijai towns and surrounding areas as well as to estimate costs of building the network. Neltės tinklas has outsourced network planning tasks to HNIT-BALTIC specialists, which were responsible for generating network deployment scenarios.
The following tasks have been accomplished during the project time:
- Customer points import to database
- Antenna diagram digitalizing and import
- Network coverage calculation by using calibrated prediction models.
- Network planning was accomplished considering power flux density norms at border zone according to the Communications Regulatory Authority requirements.
As a result, power flux density map at border zone has been created as well as network coverage maps were produced which were calculated for receivers at 4 and 12 meters height.
Business value
Outsourcing of network planning services to HNIT-BALTIC has brought a great value to Neltė. Firstly, Neltė does not need to have, acquire or constantly update geographical data, which is very costly. In this case Neltė also saves additional costs, because it doesn‘t need to employ GIS person in their company. Secondly, Neltė does not need to buy wireless network planning software and to have certain knowledge and experience in this field. Thus Neltė saves time and money as well as can be sure it will have reliable network.
“Without outsourcing the work to HNIT-BALTIC, it would never have been possible to do this job on specifications, within budget and time…” (Darijus Klusas, “Neltė”)
