Easy import
templateEasyImport.zip
› Easy import is a most useful tool in this set. It allows to create large networks
(including different RANs) using one EXCEL-file with only one sheet
› In the case where two and more different sectors are linked to antennas with
the same parameters (antenna must have same type, height, azimuth, latitude,
longitude, etc.) only one antenna is created. Of course, in this case it’s
necessary to use antennas with a full set of available ports and patterns

Created sites
After the sites are created, it is necessary to edit the parameters of sites, base stations,
sectors, antennas, etc. using the Tabular Editor in compliance with current settings of the
project

Export project to Google earth
A visualization of the sectors exported from the Mentum Planet with
using Vimpelcom Tools is better, than with using standard method (Tools-
Google Earth Export)
