WiBAS - Radio Frequency Planning

WiBAS Λογότυπο

Radio Frequency (RF) planning is a vital procedure during the dimensioning and the implementation of a wireless network. Designing and planning a wireless network is an elaborate process requiring consideration of many different factors to effectively provide a robust, high performance system.

Factors affecting the overall design of a wireless network include:

  • The radio characteristics defining the system's range such as the transmitted power, antenna types (sectoral or directional), antenna gain and sensitivity
  • The morphology of the terrain (plains, hills mountains and so on) and the structural environment of the area involved (tall buildings, homes, open areas and so on)
  • Availability of frequency channels defined by restrictions on frequency assignment that affect performance of the system (adequate C/I+N ratios, minimum interference levels and desired modulation schemes)
  • Climatic conditions in the specific geographical area which affect radio propagation inside the network
  • Site surveying information regarding available sites for BS allocation, existing infrastructure, subscriber density, co-existing networks and evaluation of the environment
  • The geographical area in which the desired services and applications will be delivered, defines the BS number and their cell range
  • Network requirements affect the dimensioning and the final performance objectives of the system

INTRACOM TELECOM designers take all of these factors into consideration when designing a wireless network that will provide the operator with the best solution. INTRACOM TELECOM RF planning group consists of expert engineers constantly trained in the field of fixed broadband wireless access networks, backbone point-to-point networks and mobile communications (indoor and outdoor). Solutions are simulated through state-of-the-art software packages capable of modelling many wireless technologies, and applying different propagation models using GIS data that meet telecommunication standards and ITU and IEEE recommendations. The outcome will be the most cost-effective, robust and efficient solution, combining maximum system performance with optimal spectral efficiency.
