As a continuous process of improving its mobile network, ORANGE SPAIN has several ongoing projects to deploy new stations at a national level. These projects involve new deployments, modifications and network extensions in rural and urban areas. In all of them, detailed designs are needed to ensure the best performance in the future network.

The manufacturers, engineering and consultancy companies granted with these projects have been enterprises like ARCA TELECOM, ERICSSON, HUAWEI, SEMI, ZELENZA, TATA, CABLEVEN, TOWER CONSULTORES, SITER 2000 or DIVIGROUP, using XIRIO planning tool for new radio designs.

ORANGE SPAIN provides access to the XIRIO CORPORATE radio planning tool. This software allows the design and the improvement of the site’s configurations prior to installation, ensuring the best user experience.

The tool includes high-resolution digital mapping with 3D building models for all target areas. The simulations analyse the coverage of new sites, outdoor and indoor coverage statistics for the target area, interferences of the radio environment and, outdoor and indoor interferences statistics in those areas. After the first year using XIRIO CORPORATE, these companies have done over 100,000 simulations with the planning tool relevant to the different actions on the network requested by ORANGE SPAIN.
