Answer 1

Vodafone has been known to deploy 4G connected towers as its chief product in offering call and data services.

1. The 4G towers are conceptualized in way that it minimises electromagnetic radiation and offers maximum coverage and speeds
2. Product is well supported by customer demands and growing data Consumption needs
3. The design of tower is such that it is connected back to core network and servers.
4. Prototyping 4G towers will involve core RAN network, fibre and server connectivity, Antennas, Batteries, Fuel.
5. The product can be tested during peak load hours and evaluating its speed, coverage, delay, performance using software defined network.
6. Product is supported by installing small cells and extensive fibre coverage for optimum performance
7. The implementation is done using project analysis and getting key licenses from local government and erection of towers using vendor management
8. The performance after commercialisation is done and evaluating its key performance using network functional virtualization method
9. The 4G towers now can use holographic beamforming to offer extensive coverage and high throughput
10. The 4G towers mature when more than optimum customer are catered and hence will need additional deployment of technology
11. These 4G towers now can be offloaded and connected with various new generation technological framework to meet demand.
