How to Use Rural Star
Scenario1: in a small village, no much user Scenario2: in a ward, if villages are closed with each
connect to the site at the same time, so rural star other or most of the people are concentrated in one
can meet the requirement of service, and will area, rural star also a good choice for the scenario.
reduce the cost compare to Macro site.
(Macro BTS with LTE)

Small village: Population < 5,000

Macro site Scenario

Scenario1: in a big village, many people are Scenario2: in a ward, if many villages are far away from
going to use service, it’s better to deploy a macro each other or with a sparse population, we suggest to
site to provide adequate coverage and capacity. deploy a macro site to provide a wide coverage.

Tower Height: 35 ~45 m

> 3km

Big village: Population > 5,000

Suitable Solution for Rural Coverage in UCASF Project

In UCSAF Border Project, there are 40

Totally we designed 23 sites based on the network
villages(12 wards) need to be covered.
planning which can divide into 2 scenarios.

Region: Mtwara
District: Mtwara Rural
Ward: Nitekela Single Village Scenario1: this is a single village
Village radius : <3km
scenario(village radius is less than 3km), there
is not other village around. Using macro site
can cover this village, but with high CAPEX.
Note: there are 4 villages with the scenario in this project.
Multiple village
Coverage radius: 5km
Macro site
Tower height: 35m
Scenario2: in this area, the population is
sparse. It’s better to deploy a macro site to
provide adequate coverage and capacity.
