Research Objective

Study about UMTS core network planning in

Jakarta
Create detail UMTS core network planning in
Jakarta

BACK

Problem Limitation

Case study at Operator X

Planning for migration UMTS Release 99 to Release 4
Term of planning up to 2010
Use RFP (Request For Proposal) for planning
Assumed that no policy that can make traffic increase
drastic
Assumed that the dissemination of subcribers and
traffic is same at any area in Jakarta

Kesimpulan

Need 6 MSSs and 6 MGWs for circuit switched core

network UMTS in Jakarta
Need 3 SGSN and 1 GGSN for packet switched core
network UMTS in Jakarta
Telkomsel has many subcribers with low average traffic
so that it needs 6 MSS and 6 MGW

Necessity of UMTS core network planning in Indonesia

Next research should not assume that the
dissemination of subcribers and traffic is same at any
area in Jakarta
