1 Introduction
This document outlines the main content requirements of a Celtel radio plan for planning board submission (PBS) validation. Where appropriate, comments have been given, otherwise sample plots, tables, etc are provided and the Celtel engineer should note the format and replicate and include the same in a radio PBS document. A radio PBS document should be built up of the following parts: 1. Overview of the plan a. classifying sites (sites should be classified into 5 types: new coverage, capacity relief, coverage improvement, Micro and Pico sites) b. showing nationwide coverage c. giving population coverage statistics 2. Plots a. Should be delivered for a site or a group of sites according to the description given in the main document 3. Detailed radio plan a. Should give per site details of antennas, heights, etc 4. Presentation of capacity plan results a. Given per city/capacity planning area 5. Summary BoQ a. With breakdown of equipment in installed, required, in stock, on order, spares, etc Details and examples of plots (as close to ideal as available at the time of preparing the document) are presented in this document.

Site Classification
From the radio validation point of view, the sites are classified in 5 classes, where specific requirements are need for each class for the radio design validation, these classes are:
Site Classification New Coverage Capacity Coverage Improvement Micro Site Pico Site Definition Macrocell whose primary purpose is to increase the network coverage footprint at the outdoor level Macrocell whose primary purpose is to relieve an existing site in terms of traffic Macrocell whose primary purpose is to strengthen the signal level of an existing coverage area Outdoor street level installation to add capacity for hotspot or improve coverage penetration in a dense urban area Indoor installation to add capacity or improve deep indoor coverage inside target building
2.4
Site Details
A summary table showing the site name, budget ID, site classification (coverage improvement, capacity, new coverage, micro, pico), and location (name of town/city) is required for all sites included in the PBS (see example below):
Sitename Talajani Busyarea Weakarea Site ID REM0014 LIL015 BLAN0016 Budget ID MW-B06-173 MW-B06-112 MW-B06-110 Programme Q1_2007 Q1_2007 Q1_2007 Site Classification new coverage capacity relief coverage improvement Location Talajani Lilongwe Blantyre

2.5.2 Global network coverage for the network after implementation of sites requested in current PB
Note: should be overlaid over latest Landscan 200x population data should have main roads shown (but dont clutter the plot with too many roads) Main towns/cities should be marked, but dont clutter the map by showing too many

2.6
Population coverage statistics should be: Generated using planet ev coverage prediction at Outdoor level Using the latest Landscan population database Should be presented as follows: o population under coverage (taking into account all sites previously approved by PB, even if they are not yet in service) o population under coverage after sites requested in PBS are added o For each of the 2 above cases, the following data should be presented: Total country population according to Landscan 200x Total population covered % population covered Total country area (km2) % country area covered Total area covered (km2) Example: Q2 2006 Q3 2006 Pop Landscan 2004 % Pop Covered Pop Covered Total Country Area % Area Covered Total Area Covered 13,781 72.6% 10,008 274,400 km 38% 105,085 km

3 Plots
3.1 New Coverage Sites
For all new coverage or coverage improvement projects, the following plots should be included in PBS. Heights (with relief shading) with vectors & mkting polygons Clutter with vectors & mkting polygons Global coverage before with vectors & mkting polygons Global coverage after with vectors & mkting polygons Coverage of new site(s) with vectors & mkting polygons Note that if a cluster of sites are close together, then 1 set of plots can be shown for the cluster / project, rather than generating individual plots for each site. zoom levels should be selected so that the full coverage footprint of the site can be seen, and importantly, such that neighbour sites and their coverage can be seen Plot size and resolution should be sufficient to render an acceptable quality plot. However, note that plots that are too high resolution or too big will result in documents that are too large to transfer electronically. A balance is needed. Applications like Photoshop can be used to reduce the resolution of pictures and plots and will result in a huge reduction is file size. Also, PBS files can be converted to PDF to reduce the size. All sites should be displayed with Site Name and not SiteID (contrary to what is shown in this document).
