Summary 1. Suggest to consider GL1800 solution to maintain 2G & 4G uniform coverage 2. 2G & LTE to maximize use of the 1800Mz spectrum 3. L800MHz to be used for capacity (in Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono and some big towns), indoor coverage improvement and home broadband. 4. Propose to split the project into 2 phases: • Phase 1: Deploy GL1800 sites in Kampala, Wakiso & Mukono together with L800 for capacity, improvement of indoor coverage & develop home broadband user. • Phase 2: Deploy GL1800 in rural areas and consider addition of L800 is some major upcountry towns for capacity. Also deploy G1800 sites for areas which do not require LTE
Solution For Rural Expansion Phase 2 Solution: 1. Deploy 318 GL1800 sites for expansion in upcountry GL1800 Layout G1800 + L800 Layout areas 2. Deploy 13 L800 sites for capacity in major towns 3. Deploy 188 G1800 in very rural areas with no Dual Band Dual Band Antenna Antenna requirement for LTE Previous Rural Solution Configuration Site Number GL1800 RRU
