Ten service lines. One network lifecycle.

Plan, build, optimise, verify — multi-vendor and multi-technology throughout, from GSM to 5G NR.

CLUSTER 01 — PLAN

Network Planning

Network planning has changed. As traffic evolves, a network's design needs continuous fine-tuning — closing coverage holes and adding capacity where demand actually moved.

With 5G, planning is no longer about macro cells alone: in-building coverage, small cells and multi-height capacity now carry real weight in the design. The difficult part is estimating what the network genuinely needs, then choosing the most economical way to deliver it. That is the work we do.

What we plan

  • Study of spectrum requirements
  • Network design and dimensioning
  • Access network planning
  • Transmission and synchronisation plan
  • Switching network topology
  • Identification of coverage pain areas
  • 5G NR planning
  • LTE-A and m-MIMO planning
  • Consolidation and swap project planning
  • Techno-commercial bid preparation

Automatic Frequency / PSC / PCI Planning

Our proprietary planning suite and our radio engineering bench let us produce frequency, PSC, PCI and neighbour-list plans automatically — from live OSS data rather than from prediction models alone.

The plans are generated quickly and at low cost, and they have held up in the field. This service runs on Lattice.

5G Services

We plan and implement 5G across the radio and architecture layers.

Radio planning

  • NR nominal RF planning
  • Massive MIMO planning
  • mmWave planning
  • Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) planning and implementation
  • 5G HetNet analysis

Architecture

  • 5G architecture design and implementation on an NFV/SDN basis
  • Planning and implementation of small cell and HetNet-based CRAN
  • End-to-end architecture design for CRAN networks, including fronthaul and baseband hoteling

M2M and IoT (3GPP NB-IoT)

  • NB-IoT coverage planning, capacity and link budgets for Cat-M1 (eMTC) and Cat-NB1 (NB-IoT)
  • Sensor and application design, implementation and use-case planning
  • Implementation of NB-IoT based solutions
CLUSTER 02 — BUILD

Installation, Commissioning, Configuration and Integration

Our field engineering teams are backed by a multi-vendor, multi-technology NIC/NOC — which is what makes end-to-end rollout practical rather than just staffed.

Our own product suite sits underneath the field work, shortening the loop between what an engineer sees on site and what gets corrected in the network.

Covering

  • Provisioning
  • Installation and commissioning
  • Configuration and integration
  • Operations and maintenance
  • Troubleshooting
  • Alarm and NEA testing

OpenRAN

OpenRAN unbundles the costliest part of the infrastructure.

In a traditional RAN, hardware and software are tightly coupled and the interfaces do not interoperate, so nearly all the equipment comes from a single supplier. OpenRAN lets operators run software-based network functions on standard COTS servers, and open interfaces allow one supplier's radios to work with another's processors. That freedom only pays off if somebody can integrate it.

What we deliver

  • Integration and commissioning — Cloud BTS
  • Integration and commissioning — Cloud RNC
  • Integration and commissioning — Cloud BSC
  • Integration and commissioning — Wi-Fi controller
  • Integration and commissioning — Cloud core
  • Benchmarking
  • RF drive test
  • RF planning and optimisation
CLUSTER 03 — OPTIMISE

Network Optimization

A full-sized network can complete an entire optimisation cycle in a fortnight to a month.

Our proprietary optimisation suite lets us offer RAN optimisation as a service at a cost and speed that manual methods cannot reach.

What we do

  • Cell database parameter optimisation
  • Frequency / PSC / PCI fine-tuning
  • Neighbour list optimisation
  • Parameter configuration consistency check
  • Parameter planning and optimisation
  • Traffic and throughput analysis
  • Dropped call analysis
  • Handover success analysis
  • Interference analysis
  • Drive test analysis
  • Worst cell analysis and Top-N site targeting
  • VoLTE performance analysis
  • Frequency and strategy planning
  • Field measurements and acceptance testing

Spectrum Refarming Services

Refarming spectrum is a transition, not an event.

We take on all of its stages, and the same approach applies to network consolidation projects. This service runs on Fission.

  • Traffic-recording-based heat map generation
  • Feasibility study and scenario analysis
  • Network dimensioning and TRX dimensioning
  • Site addition and deletion
  • TRX addition and deletion
  • Frequency and neighbour planning
  • Post-refarming parametric optimisation, including traffic balancing and offloading

SCFT / Cluster Optimization

Our proprietary tooling combined with industry-standard instruments, applied to the acceptance and cluster stages.

  • Site Shake Down (SSD) — verify swapped sectors, TX imbalances, intra- and inter-frequency handover, data throughput
  • Single / Multiple Site Verification — coverage, accessibility, retainability
  • Cluster and market drive — drop, mobility, throughput, latency, CSFB and VoLTE performance
  • VoLTE drive testing — call quality assessment
  • Benchmarking drive testing — competitive network position
  • Spot coverage checks — customer complaint troubleshooting
  • Scanner drive testing — coverage assessment
  • Continuous Wave (CW) drive testing — propagation model tuning
  • Indoor walk testing — iDAS, oDAS and small cell verification
CLUSTER 04 — VERIFY

RF Survey

A structured, semi-automated survey, delivered as a buildable coverage solution rather than a report.

  • Network type, coverage, signal quality, user count and covering-solution selection
  • Building floor plans — structure, signal blocking, AP, switch and antenna placement, cable routing and lengths, blind spots and hot spots
  • System topology — equipment and feeder specification, link calculation, power supply
  • A detailed coverage solution per room: equipment type, quantity, configuration, placement and installation
  • Post-installation testing against the coverage, strength and data traffic requirements

EMF Survey

EMF measurement and compliance work, delivered to a fixed standard.

Methods

  • EMF measurement
  • EMF calculation

How we run it

  • On-time delivery against schedule
  • Accurate survey reports
  • Automated survey report generation
  • Online expert advice during the survey
  • Active project management
  • Our own workforce management and analytics tooling, for quality control and cost reduction at volume
