Overview

Outsourcing system design and optimization to CelPlan^® allows companies to tap the expertise, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness that result in significant savings and a successful enterprise.

CelPlan^® design capabilities encompass all technologies (cdma2000, UMTS, cdmaOne, TDMA, GSM, LMDS, MMDS, and analog), numerous applications (3G, 2.5G, cellular, PCS, broadband, trunking, paging), and range of frequencies (450, 800, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz, 2.5GHz, 5GHz, 24GHz, and 42GHz).

CelPlan's^® design expertise take advantage of the following areas of CelPlan^® technological expertise:

• System optimization
• Switching equipment design and dimensioning
• Different transmission technologies (wired cable, optical cable, VHF/UHF, microwave radio, and satellite links)
• Cell site/base station equipment design
• Propagation theory and modeling
• Traffic theory

The synergy of CelPlan's^® wireless design experience and its profound knowledge of the technology options best suited to each case leads to optimization of equipment and manpower planning, modeling, database preparation, and coverage analysis. In this way, most problems are foreseen and resolved while still in the design phase, providing an obvious cost benefit to our customers.

The system evaluation phase incorporates feasibility studies, estimates of the number of RF channels required per year for different penetration rates, demographic data, quantity and cost of equipment needed, technology recommendations, and return on investment to produce a complete business plan. CelPlan^® provides detailed designs for a smooth deployment and verifies the global system performance in the system deployment phase. CelPlan^® acts as executor, advisor, and/or personnel trainer for all wireless design activities.

CelPlan^® also assists in the maintenance and expansion of existing wireless systems. Through meticulous optimization procedures, CelPlan^® helps clients take their system to the next level of performance easily, cost-effectively, and with the smallest number of changes.

CelPlan^® offers a unique method of evaluating competitive performance, analyzing footprint (RF coverage), population, traffic handling, call quality, and indoor coverage. Comparisons are made among these statistics, from which CelPlan^® makes recommendations for improvement in existing deployment, additional deployments, and a solid evolution strategy. With the extraordinary degree of competition in today's wireless market, a small performance advantage for our customers can mean winning many more customers.

CelPlan's^® precise, accurate, and superior technical analysis and design capabilities, allied to sophisticated proprietary software, allow clients to make informed, cost-conscious decisions at every step, from system evaluation to deployment, commercial operation to design optimization.
