 GSM 900 MHz Frequency Band should be to considered for covering of highway

 Both Omni and Sectorial Outdoor BTS can be used, but Sectorial Outdoor BTS is preferred in
order to have better coverage at the highway and be able to cover some nearby villages as well.
 BTS have basically 3 types based on TRX radiation, 5 watt, 10 watt and 20 watt. Out of the 3
types of BTS, 2 types are as given for the Highway solution, one with TRX rating of 10Watt and
the other type is of 20 Watt power rating.
 Backhaul connectivity can be categorized under 3 types (OFC, Microwave & VSAT), depending
on site location.
 The backhaul requirements for BTS connectivity shall be based on the bandwidth requirement of
128 kbps + 128kbps for uplink and downlink for1TRX configuration. The satellite bandwidth
estimate shall be based on the actual BTS requirements.
 Power source should be considered as Solar and Diesel Generator set depending on site location.
 Towers should be considered to be Ground Base Tower (GBT) tower of length 25 meters, 30
meters and 35 meters depending on site location.
 One new BSC for GAZ sites should be considered at Gazni province, and in case of Fiber cut or
MW shout down it should have backup connectivity through VSAT with enough bandwidth
capacity.
 As we build these new sites at secure places such as military bases and governmental areas along
the KBL-KDH highway, so in addition to cover the highway and nearby villages, we can use them
as backbone link as well.
