BACKGROUND OVERVIEW OF TOOLS AND TESTERS TRAINING
PROGRAMME
Telecom networks are critical installations which form
the backbone of India’s digital economy and security. Radio network planning comprises of radio network
Expansion of telecom network and services across the dimensioning, planning of the coverage, capacity, frequency
country and its proper upkeep are essential to meet the allocation and interference analysis. Moreover it includes
ever-growing demands of the citizens and for realizing detailed planning, which concentrate on parameter planning
the vision of inclusive growth. The success of initiatives with necessary field measurement.
like Digital India, Smart Cities and right to Broadband, Drive testing is a method of measuring and accessing
which the Government intends to implement in mission the coverage, capacity and QoS (quality of service) of a
mode, depends on this critical and essential infrastructure. mobile radio network. Major LTE DT parameters include:
For achieving the objectives such as promoting universal RSSI (Received signal strength indicator), or the strength
of the reference signal, SINR (signal to noise ratio), which
service and universal access which includes ensuring
compares the strength of the signal to noise ratio, RSRP
coverage in rural and remote areas, enabling greater quality
(Reference signal received power) which is the power of the
of service irrespective of locations of citizens & service
reference signals, RSRQ (Reference signal received quality)
providers and to address public concern over health effects
which is the quality of the reference signal which is the ratio
from exposure to Electromagnetic Field Radiation (EMR), the
of RSSI to RSRP.

Measuring EMF emissions in line with national and
Government of India issues conditions for rollout of network international standards helps ensure that transmitter
as per rollout obligations, norms for exposure limit to EMF systems comply with the applicable limits and also helps
Radiations from mobile towers etc. which are defined in communicate this compliance to the public. Different EMF
