Roll-out RAN TA Report Q04/22
DeepDive
• Cologne - 24 January 2023 - Roll-out RAN TA Report Q04/22 - Strictly Confidential (S1)
Overview
1. All sub-projects further delayed compared to November 2022 planning. Catch-up will start from Q1 2023, as
backbone and LTE technology are now available for commissioning LTE sites.
2. Radio planning pipeline now "in front of the wave", problematic is the implementation with all site suppliers, i.e.
both shareholders (anchor customers, regional projects and target sites) and commercial site suppliers (DFMG,
Vantage, ATC).
3. The critical bottleneck is currently the construction planning resources that all sub-projects access in parallel.
According to the JV, there is no problem with construction resources in view of the comparatively small number of
sites, provided that a forecast is available.
4. The problem of radio relay connections will continue to decrease with increasing network expansion, as the
number of remote stations available for connection increases with the rollout.
5. Process optimisation with site suppliers initiated, further escalation with selected suppliers, including
shareholders required
6. The basic problem of the many sub-projects - which prevent a concerted, uniform approach and repeatedly lead
to rescheduling - remains.

Roll-out RAN TA Report Q04/22 - DeepDive
Phase 1 (Western Corridor)
• Initial radio planning completed
• Expected 180 locations
• Planning has been adjusted in many cases and will

probably have to be adjusted again in individual
cases, since e.g. target locations are no longer
available and the acquisition of roof locations is
difficult.

Phase 2 (West Energy to EDIS)
• 263 sites identified
• corresponds to 106% of Q4 23 and 73% of

total (360)
• TARGET site provision
• EON EDIS (151)
• EON Westnetz (36)

Phase 3 (Bavaria/South Saxony/South
Hesse)
• Corresponds to 170% of Q4 23 and 64% of

total (307)

Phase 4 (SHW/South Eifel/Hunsrück)
• Corresponds to 77% of Q1 24 and 21% of

total (109)

RB Middle Rhine
• Expected 27 sites (unchanged)
• Further radio planning adjustments may be

necessary

RB OVAG
• Expected 17 sites (plus 1 site)
• Further radio planning adjustments may be

necessary

RB EnBW
• Radio planning continuous
• Corresponds to 89% of Q4 23 and 80% of total

(178)

Agenda




Planning update
 Preparation of the plans by the end of 2022
 LTE technology could not yet be put into operation, as acceptance tests for the LTE technology were still in progress.
 Therefore focus of planning on completion of infrastructure
 Adoption of the unit numbers reported by anchor customers (forecast data)
 Focus from December 2022 as part of the new rollout organisation
 Preparing for the commissioning of LTE sites at anchor customers by March 2023
 Re-examination of the expected completion dates
 Material deviations / delay caused by delayed completion
 Radio planning not causal

 Problems lie within the framework of construction, partly also with permits (joint use, building applications, etc.)

Measures for the short-term commissioning of LTE are being implemented
 In the interest of a pragmatic and accelerated approach to the rollout, an interim solution has been agreed with anchor customers.
 Short-term connection to LTE central technology/backbone, achievable for most anchor customers by March
 Commissioning of all available sites with LTE technology by March 2023
 SIM card procurement realised at an early stage over 50 test SIM cards per anchor customer
 Publication and ongoing processing of a terminal whitelist in coordination with the anchor customers
 Site rollout is escalated with anchor customers

 Targeted tracking of locations with a view to rapid realisation of infrastructure and then short-term LTE commissioning
 Escalation in case of delay at management level

 In parallel, the adjustment of the anchor customer contracts is to take place by summer 2023
 Technical and operational clarifications
 Additional services from anchor customers (network upgrades) and 450connect (especially services & IT)
 Aiming for a sufficiently uniform and fair solution within the framework of existing business planning

Current timetable
January February March April May June
Creation of contract adjustment template
Coordination of the transitional solution with all ACs has taken place
Construction of commercial dual-mode base stations and connection to Nokia Core - transitional solution LTE
operation
Solution Finding Test SIM Provisioning
Sending of test SIMs ordered until then
Web portal can be used for customer service (test SIM

provisioning)
Create product catalogue AK
Use of web portal by anchor customers (testing & provisioning of commercial SIMs)
Commissioning LTE locations1
Clarification AKV
1) LTE & CDMA/LTE dual mode after completion of infrastructure

Agenda




3. overview target figures (budget Nov 22) versus forecast figures
Determining the numbers
 Regional projects
 Enquiry at the Regional Projects
 NetzeBW project currently experiencing severe delay due to slow progress of construction planning, joint
escalation with 450connect. Whether and to what extent catch-up is possible is to be established by the end of
Q01/2023.
 In the Middle Rhine project, requirement due to rescheduling as a result of site provision
 450connect phases 1- 4
 Western corridor Detailed planning based on forecast of actual implementations; see also section 4.
 Phase 2- 4
 by Q03/2023 based on forecast of actual conversions
 From Q04/2023 forecast based on target figures (Nov 22 budget) with risk discount.
Sufficient radio sites have already been identified, critical at present are the planning/construction capacities
on the market -> close coordination with JVs is currently being carried out.
 Special feature of phase 2: high proportion of E.ON target locations, very long lead times here, partly due to
new construction
