Chapter 3
Indoor Radio Planning
There are numerous challenges, both from a business and a technical perspective, when designing and implementing indoor coverage solutions. Indoor radio planners carry a major responsibility for the overall business case and performance of the network. In many countries 80% of users are inside buildings, and providing high-performance indoor coverage, especially on higher data rates, is a challenge. It is much more than a technical challenge; the business case must also be evaluated, as well as future-proofing of the solutions implemented, among other considerations. As an indoor radio planner, it is important not to focus only on the technical challenge ahead, but to look a few steps ahead.
