    • 60+ MSCs
    • 120+ BSCs
  • Important factors to be considered were:
    • current traffic distribution
    • future traffic distribution (via a developed gravity model)
    • customers moving on & off the network (an MVNO was moving onto another infrastructure)
    • voice and IP (GPRS, EDGE, WLAN) traffic, how it was routed and interconnected

Duration:

  • 5 months

Client:

  • T-Mobile – Western Region of the US
