Correction of swapped sector on 3G Radio are not as complex as in 2G radio. The most important thing is to; Ensure having correct coordinate and azimuth of the cells. Identify the swapped cells(The swapped sector). Visit the cabinet/Radio rack(3G rack is always smaller-

Usually outside the 2G shelther.

Open the cabinet and change the cables as in the diagram below. Depending on the sectors.

Carefully unplug each cable Tx /Rx of the swapped sector

and replace it in the correct port.

NB: The cables termination on the radio is like a LAN cable termination as to you connecting your LAN cable to your Laptop. Another tip is for you to remove a sector first and check from your TEMS window for the remaining serving cells from that particular site. This can give you a clue about the swapped cell and also knowing the remaining site on Air will assure you on the proceedings of your work.
