Understanding your network’s true RF coverage requires accuracy in both the models used to create that coverage and the network configuration database. Rapid change, multiple databases, many engineers with “write privileges” and limited time all work against the integrity of the RF planning tool configuration databases. Errors from incorrect coordinates to wrong antennas, azimuth, and power reduce the accuracy of propagation plots, affecting both budgets and customer experience.
Limited time and resources restrict carriers from auditing every site in the network. Improperly flagged sites or inaccurate equipment representation will impact the ability of the simulations to truly replicate the real world. Newfield Wireless understands the challenges faced in maintaining accurate analysis of your network performance and has a rigorous approach its consultants follow to ensure the accuracy of your RF database network configuration.
Newfield’s network configuration audit service employs wireless operators' databases, models, and scanner data (when available) to provide a prioritized list with indications of possible errors. Detection methods quickly indicate azimuth errors through analysis of peak signal levels from scanner data.
