Madagascar: issues & solutions

❚ High foliage:1)Use of outdoor 7/10dbi antenna 2)

directional antenna at Base stations
❚ High cyclonic zone:street level deployment
❚ A typical operational requirement:Tackled
through extensive changes in system software

Fiji: A new experience
❚ Contrary to Madagascar, Fiji requires a cell
site for rural connectivity 200km. Away
from the Exchange
❚ Impossible to carry the copper for Base
connectivity
❚ Shyam opted for Base Station Distributor
(BSD) concept to carry the traffic from
Exchange to Base over E1 line

Fiji: Network comes to reality
