How many Base Stations are needed for an UMTS network?
There are several factors: • Required coverage areas according to a license agreement (link budget will determine the cell spacing) • Required capacity according to license agreement and initial customer and operator demands • Amount of frequencies carries have. (More frequencies, less interference, longer cell spacing) • Ability to get BTS site locations. (Normally co-location requirements with used 2G sites) • Financing available for network build. • Economical factor to build sites. • Design opinions and experience of companies and people bidding for the design job and eventually implementing the plan. • And probably in a long run the capacity, service, and coverage requirement from customers. Rollout will be very similar to 2G network rollouts. First phase of rollouts in UK size market will probably be 1000 base station in urban areas. Within 5 year about site count will increase to 5000 sites and eventually up to 10000 sites depending how successful the business is.
