 RNP&O Service

There are four phases during network lifecycle: Pre-Bidding, Bidding,

Implementation, Maintenance.
The RNP&O services are present throughout the network lifecycle,
divided by four parts: Scheme Traction, Radio Network Planning
(including Nominal Planning, Site Selection, Detail Planning), Radio
Networking Optimization (including Initial Tuning, Network Performance
Improvement), On-going

 Nominal Planning Procedure
Collects detailed information about the network planning
to meet the requirements of network estimation and
emulation input. It prepares for satisfactory planning result.

 CW Test and Model Rectification (Optional)

The Propagation model is the basis of the network planning. Whether the
model is effectual or not affects the planning result, and it also decides
whether we can meet the requirement with economic and proper investment

 Radio Network Dimensioning

Through the dimensioning, we can perform a quantitative analysis and get the
construction scale for the network. Thus, the construction period, as well as
the cost budget is worked out.
