Initial planning stage

Building a carrier-class 4G network is and will

remain a complex undertaking …

… and the initial planning phase is very

critical for the success of the initiative

55

Facing Crucial Questions

In these uncertain economic times, there is no room for risky and poorly

analyzed decisions when facing crucial questions, such as:

What will be the best addressable market segment with a chosen technology characterization?

What will be the effect on the P&L when changing the CIR in a service bundle?

How will the characterization of the technology influence the network dimensioning?

What will be the best tradeoff between coverage and capacity requirements in the network deployment?

How will different types of BS/eNB and UT/UE devices affect the TCO?
