Introduction:
 
This is a two day course that is focussed on carrying out RF and capacity planning for UMTS-based etworks. The course presents a methodology for creating a greenfield network starting with a flat earth approximation. As the first point in any major investment is the initial business plan, there must be a fusion of technical specification parameters with ARPU and CAPEX. Having passed this point, more detailed planning can take place, based on a planning tool, propagation models, drive testing, etc
 
Audience:
 
  • Staff in mobile operators who need to understand, plan and dimension UMTS Networks
  • Planners for scheduling and managing core evolution.
 
Prerequisites:
 
This course assumes delegates have attended a UMTS introductory course or are otherwise familiar with the principles of UMTS. Attendance on the UMTS Introduction and Overview course is a suitable grounding. The Radio Planning Appreciation Course would also be valuable.
