Planning & Design

SOLVIT railway network planning and design service includes the following contents:

• Electromagnetic background interference analysis along the railway for locating intra and inter-network interference sources and corresponding handling. SIGRAIL Monitoring includes a spectrum analysis module that can detect these interferences easily;
• Nominal planning including radio coverage estimation on the network using SIGRAIL Planning. Railway-oriented planning methodology, conducing to the reduced number of base stations and handovers;
• Model tuning based on CW measurements to validate and optimize SIGRAIL Planning computing algorithms used and adapt them to different environments. SIGRAIL Monitoring can be used to acquire these measures;
• Site and track surveys to confirm real environment conditions;
• Tunnel coverage solution design, according to EIRENE recommendations and tunnel specificity;
• Final network planning which contains information about network configuration: site location, antenna types, antenna heights, BTS type, and so forth, on which the rollout of the network will be based.
