 Design Assumptions

Additional site Expected due to capacity/coverage and data growth minimal in 2G &
mostly in 3G & 4G
Historical data indicates that all operators Base Station have more than double sites in
period of 5 years
Design height for New sites considered as 12m for zero site solution
Frequency taken for calculations to arrive at per operator sites is 1800 MHz
Buildup sites in 1st year for each operator are to fulfill the coverage & capacity gaps w.r.t.
existing sites
For 2nd to 5th year, the sites deployment based upon the traffic growth of 3 to 5 times
along with coverage

Sites after Considering colocation of 1-2 454 to 908

Final - Recommended approximate site count 600

* Add 25% due to Unlicensed sites 600 + 150 = 750
