Lucent Technologies continued (TEP6 Site Survey)…
Ensured that site location was suitable, both demographic
and geographic, for effective GSM propagation and
coverage.
Using state-of-the-art GPS set, recorded the site geographical
coordinates. Special software and compass to get site
magnetic bearings and other required path data.
Using the Spectrum Analyzer set, ensured there was no
possible interference or signal propagation to affect the
designated GSM and MW frequency bands.
GSM survey was based on the mobile coverage RF and MW
objectives taking up to 3 candidate locations per site.
