Golden Cluster Implementation Strategy

Peninsular Malaysia

Perak cluster has been selected for GC since consist

of various clutter types (urban, sub-urban and rural)
hence able to reflect all probable rationalization scenarios

Penang

GC implementation divided into 5 phases

to start from rural area towards urban area. [1 (A6Kuala Kangsar & A5-Matang), 2 (A4-Kerian & A9Teluk Intan), 3 (A10-Setiawan & A11-Kampar), 4
(A8-Ipoh Selatan), 5 (A7-Ipoh Utara)]
to start from low risk to high risk (quality, coverage &
capacity- Network & customer impact

Site survey to start based on :

Implementation cluster according to proposed phase,
Prioritize the infill pair sites [14 Infill sites A5(2),
A4(1), A9(3),A10(2), A11(3), A8(1), A7(2)]

TRANSMISSION
Criteria
1

Cost

Cold Swap vs Hot Swap - to avoid revenue loss by

minimizing downtime

Fiber - existing infra or 3rd party leasing with

sufficient capacity is the highest priority to remain.
Reduce AA cost.

Sufficient capacity ( m/w + aggregation) highest priority is given to the sites with sufficient
E2E capacity

route thru microwave only to BSC/RNC will take the

highest priority & follow by mw + fiber/ 3rd party
leased line.

Smaller nos of hops to single Hub - To reduce

unnecessary multiple hops to hub/collector point.
Will reduce AA cost, implementation time and
reduce element .

Bucket 770 is the highest priority. 1212 & 2206

Shortest route / path to BSC/RNC - Shortest

Quality

will follow accordingly. Able to meet target within

timeline.

Time

AGREED JOINT PROCESS

The Agreed Joint Process is a consolidated process between both DiGi and Celcom based on
our internal practices.

Network collaboration will leverage from common network

to maximize cost saving

All shared sites will have effective reduction of one access link towards Hubs.
Hub site will have more effective reduction of links towards the shared sites
when there are more shared sites linking to the Hub site.

Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Preparedness

Jet Project

Civil, Mechanical and Electrical

The objective is to share wherever possible on all infrastructures. The host shall prepare all the
necessary infrastructure for the visitor. These are as below but not limited to:
Cabin/Outdoor Plinth Space
AC and DC power system
DCPDB/ACPDB
Tower/Monopole
Indoor sites

Space inside cabin will be shared

DC power systems will have to be upgraded to cater the additional loads, if requires
cabin shall be strengthen

Shall indoor space be insufficient, the visitor will install outdoor equipments

The TNB incoming power supply will be split to cater the outdoor PDU for the visitor
Outdoor sites

Outdoor plinth will be extended if possible

The visitor shall install their equipment outdoor as well

Equipment shall be placed back to back to minimize the equipments footprint

The TNB incoming power supply will be split to cater the outdoor PDU for the visitor

If space is a constraint, the outdoor PDU shall be shared

Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Preparedness

Towers

Jet Project

Towers or monopoles will be shared

Tower analysis shall be performed if necessary
Tower strengthening shall be done if required or stated in the tower analysis report

New sites (infill)

All infrastructures will be built and shared

The optimization process is as shown in the figure below:-

Single Site
Verification

Optimization

Performance
Monitoring

Verify the cell configuration in the network

Verify the site accessibility and quality

Single Site Optimization(up to 1st tier neighbors of a new

site)
Cluster Optimization ( may consist one or more new sites)

Monitor the statistical performance

Ensure it achieves the KPIs

The types of verification and drive test methodology are dependent on

the types of sites, GERAN and/or UTRAN.
Site verification work and drive test will be carried out in the non-busy
hours to retain excellence customer experience.
The Supplier shall propose and perform the necessary optimization
works such as antenna re-engineering, network tuning, parameter
changes, new feature implementation and new coverage enhancement
plans to achieve the KPIs.
The Single Site Verification forms , Single Site Optimization, Cluster
Optimization and statistical KPIs can be found from the attachment.
