Cellular network analysis plays a crucial role in supporting cell site cases by providing valuable insights and data that aid in the planning, deployment, optimisation, and troubleshooting of cell sites.
Here are several ways in which cellular network analysis supports cell site cases:
Site Selection and Planning: Cellular network analysis helps in identifying suitable locations for cell site placement. By analysing network coverage maps, signal strength measurements, and traffic patterns, operators can determine areas with poor coverage or high demand. This information assists in selecting optimal sites for new cell installations or expansions, ensuring better coverage and capacity.
Coverage and Capacity Optimization: Once a cell site is deployed, cellular network analysis helps optimize its coverage and capacity. By monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) such as signal strength, call drop rates, and data throughput, operators can identify areas of weak coverage, congestion, or capacity limitations. This data informs decisions related to antenna positioning, power control, frequency allocation, and handover parameters
At Forint, we utilise the Siretta Snyper LTE+ as our tool of choice to undertake cellular network analysis tasks. The Siretta Snyper LTE+ device can be a valuable complement to cell site analysis, providing additional insights and data that enhance the understanding of cellular network performance.
Here are several ways the Siretta Snyper LTE+ can be used in conjunction with cell site analysis:
Signal Strength Verification: During cell site analysis, signal strength measurements are typically taken from applications with old data. The Siretta Snyper LTE+ can be used to perform real-time signal strength measurements at specific points, both indoors and outdoors. This data can help verify the accuracy of the signal strength predictions made during cell site analysis and identify any discrepancies or areas of weak signal coverage that might have been missed.
Coverage Mapping: The Siretta Snyper LTE+ device can be used to create detailed coverage maps by measuring signal strength and quality across different locations. By combining these maps with cell site analysis data, it is possible to identify coverage gaps, areas with poor signal quality, or potential interference issues that may impact network performance.
Interference Detection: Interference analysis is a critical aspect of cell site analysis. The Siretta Snyper LTE+ can help identify and locate sources of interference in real-time. By measuring signal quality, signal-to-noise ratio, and other relevant parameters, the device can pinpoint areas affected by interference, whether from external sources or neighbouring cells.
Network Performance Evaluation: The Siretta Snyper LTE+ device provides insights beyond signal strength, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of network performance. It can measure and analyse parameters such as handover success rate, data transfer rate, and latency. By combining these performance metrics with cell site analysis data, operators can identify areas of suboptimal performance and take targeted actions to improve network efficiency.
Site Optimisation and Validation: The Siretta Snyper LTE+ device can assist in validating the effectiveness of cell site optimisation efforts. By conducting post-optimisation measurements, operators can compare the actual network performance with the predicted results from the cell site analysis.
In summary, the Siretta Snyper LTE+ device complements cell site analysis by providing real-time measurements, coverage mapping, interference detection, and network performance evaluation. By integrating these additional insights, our clients can make more informed decisions, upon the integrated data presented from the cell site analysis against the real-time network capabilities.
