Analysis of Mast Management Distribution and Telecommunication Service Using Geospatial Technique

Abstract

Information management has become a very important topic in recent times and technological advancement depends more and more on the amount of information that is available in real time. As the popular saying goes information is power. This is why investment in the information networking of an economy cannot be over flogged. Great nations of today are characterized by the amount of information they harness and how well and efficient this information is being dispersed to its citizens. GIS (Geographic Information System) is of great importance in accomplishing modern day task of information management. This project is focused on the direct application GIS is proffering solutions to telecommunications masts distribution, the spread and their locations. For this study, two major telecoms companies in Lagos were chosen for consideration and analysis in other to appreciate the lapses and the short comings of the present spread and the need for a spatial adjustment. Also given the ongoing Federal Government proposed policy on mast stations networking by all telecom companies, we shall achieve maximum output, reduced cost of service and increase in the efficiency of the telecoms companies to all the customers. Geographic information System (GIS) as a tool enables telecommunication professionals to integrate maps and information for better decision making, from planning and maintenance of infrastructure to administering of mobile telephone coverage, managing existing customers and finding of new ones. In all these GIS Users rely on location based data to proffer solutions. The methodology employed for this project is data acquisition, data storage, data manipulation and data presentation. Analyses of the results obtained shows the spatial distribution of the masts around Lagos state and highlights the different logical paths the GIS can be queried to achieve the required results. This study has provided a Geospatial analysis of Mast Management distribution and Telecommunication Service in Lagos State.

Utilization of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System for Telecommunication Applications

“…Bütün parametreler bilinmeden karar almak da mümkün olamayacaktır (Gupta, 2012). Bu noktada haberleşme alanında şebeke planlama ve genişletme, şebeke elemanlarının gösterimi, kablolama ve kanal haritalarının hazırlanması, bağlantı kabinlerini içeren kablolama çizimlerinin hazırlanması, bu bilgilerin düzenli olarak güncellenmesi, gerekli harita ve çizimlerin üçüncü şahıslar ile paylaşılması gibi amaçlarla kullanılan CBS'nin getirdiği avantajlar şu şekilde özetlenebilir Gupta, 2012;Navmart, 2020;Omogunloye, Qaadri, Omogunloye ve Oladiboye, 2013):…”

Impact of Base Station Site, Antenna Configuration and Power Control in LTE Network

“…Telecommunications has been defined as a technology concerned with communicating from a distance [1], it involves the exchange of information by electronic and electrical means over a significant distance. A complete telecommunication arrangement is made up of two or more stations equipped with transmitter and receiver devices.…”
