Accela-Cell Data Planning Benefits and Advantages

Accela SolutionMobile network operators usually use internal macros and excel sheets to create new cell data. Our goal is to automate the CDD creation procedure. With Accela Cell Data Planning Module, it is very easy, fast and accurate to create new cell data.

• Why to use Accela ?

• To reduce time• To minimize errors• To eliminate inhouse scripts and

excel sheets/macros• To create accurate Cell Data• To apply changes easily• To control CDD output files • To eliminate manual work• 2G-3G-4G support

Question : Why to use Accela-Cell Data Planning Module ?

Why to use Accela ?

Planning tools help finding frequencies, PSC and PCI

Map tools help finding neighbours

Excel macros help creating CDD files

Accela provides all of them in one platform

*** There is no other tool in the market managing all of these tasks

How it works ?

1.

Accela uses operator’s network data

2.

Provides user to control and modify

cell data

3.

Finds neighbours, frequencies, PSC and

PCI

4.

Shows on map

5.

Creates output file

• How an RF planner prepares new cell data ? How long time ?

RF Planner Cell Data Creation Steps

1. Creates new cells in planning tool or database

2. Enters all required data

(azimuth, coordinates, MSC, RNC, LAC, RAC, antenna type, city, region, etc..)

3. Uses internal macros or excel scripts to find neighbours or checks neighbours visually from a map tool

4. Gathers all the data together, adds extra parameters needed

(such as RCU, TMA, feeder loss, etc..)

5. Prepares an excel sheet and sends it to OSS
