Network as a Service PlayBook Widget: RAN – Coverage-Based Site Count

RAN - Coverage-Based Site Count

This widget provides a computation of the required number of sites to cover an specified area based on Link Budget analysis.
Please fill the required information on each square.

Basics for this widget are addressed on sections 3.4 and 3.5 of the RAN HLD Module.
