 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Voice Service
 Safaricom has the best RSCP in the building as compared to competition.
 Safaricom has the worst Ec/Io in the building.
 Safaricom has the worst Rx Lev in the building.
 Safaricom has the best Rx Qual in the building.
 Safaricom had 57% of its samples in UMTS mode and 43% in GSM mode.
 Safaricom had 0 dropped calls and 0% CDR.
 Safaricom has a CSSR of 100%.

Data Service:
 Safaricom’s average HSDPA throughput is 0.00724 Mbps with a peak of 1.245 Mbps.
 Safaricom has an overall average Uplink throughput of 0.00762 Mbps.
 Safaricom has an overall peak Uplink throughput of 0.14 Mbps.

LTE Data:
 Fairly good RSRP, RSRQ and CINR levels across all floors.
 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
UMTS:
 EcNo: 1st, 4th and 5th floors had 50.2%, 69% and 41.8% of samples respectively below -14 dB.
 Most complains were raised on the first floor where the main issue is quality caused by polluting serving cells.
No dominance. We can down tilt the polluting cells or consider installing a repeater to create dominance on all
the floors and improve indoor coverage
GSM:
 Good signal coverage and signal quality across all floors.
 Optimize 2G network in the building to improve coverage and quality on all the floors.
LTE
 RSRP: Basement, 7th and 8th floors each have more than 84% of samples below -95 dBm.
 Optimize LTE to improve coverage and quality on all the floors.

 Target Rx Levels (Good Indoor Coverage): >= -85 dBm

 Fair Coverage: Between -86 dBm and -95 dBm
 Poor Coverage: < = - 96 dBm
