Choose the right perspective
Match the person's technology generation and market to yours, since planning a dense urban 5G layer differs from extending rural 4G coverage. Ask each person whether they planned new sites, ran coverage design standards or led a planning team, so you know which part of the work they can speak to.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide where a new cell site is needed versus adding capacity to existing sites?
- 02Which planning tools and data sources do you trust most for coverage predictions, and how do you validate them?
- 03How do you coordinate RF planning with site acquisition and rollout teams when sites fall through?
