Prior to the deployment, Swisscom and TEOCO worked in collaboration with Swisscom’s network equipment vendor to ensure accurate implementation of the Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) feature in ASSET. This collaboration ensured the DSS functionality was thoroughly field tested and delivered all the capabilities expected by network design engineers.
The ability to model DSS within a planning tool was a key requirement for Swisscom, enabling the operator to test a range of network scenarios as it looked to rapidly build 5G coverage and capacity in the most cost-efficient way, said Stefano Ricca, head of Radio Network Design at Swisscom.
