RF PLANNING FOR OPEN RAN NETWORKS
Data-driven decision making When planning a new greenfield network, or an expansion to an existing network, a planning engineer often needs to make assumptions on things like how much traffic will be generated. These assumptions, if incorrect, can have a big negative impact on the performance of the network when it is built. These assumptions can be dramatically improved by leveraging the large amounts of data available to operators to improve decision making.
Integration RF planning is just one of the many steps required to build a successful network. By integrating across department silos, business processes become more efficient, increasing productivity and data can be shared improving network operations.

How can Planet help?
Planet can integrate many other network engineering functions via its open APIs. For example, Planet data can be used to identify specific locations (sweet spots) where drive testing will generate the widest scope of results for minimal effort. And in the other direction, drive testing measurements from the live network can be used to fine-tune propagation models resulting in more accurate network designs.
Planet allows you to combine live network measurements including crowdsourced data and call traces with predictions to maximize your insights and ultimately improve the accuracy of your planning and optimization. With seamless integration of call trace data and direct access to crowdsourced data, your engineers have an unprecedented level of geolocated insights into mobile subscribers’ behavior and coverage experience directly inside their planning solution.
