01 Overview
what is RF optimization means ?
“Optimization is the fine-tuning of a nominal cell plan to a real environment .” Quality
“A process through which different radio parameters and antenna parameters are
adjusted in order to improve the signal coverage and improve service quality of the
mobile network under consideration.”

02 RF optimization workflow
RF (Radio Frequency) optimization is the most important step to
ensure the quality of the network.
RF optimization RF optimization will solve network problems related to neighbor cell
