Product name

Radio Network Optimisation Principles (RANOP)

Category

Advanced

Target Group

Network Planning personnel and employees who are involved in

comprehensive radio network optimisation.

Objectives

To provide participants with the knowledge and skills to

optimise Nokia GSM Networks. Participants will be introduced
to the general network optimisation process, get to know how
to calculate quality indicating figures, and learn about
important BSC counters. Moreover, measurement types and
counter numbers are going to be explained. Many case studies
and practise oriented group work are also part of the training,
as well as optimisation related Nokia features.
