| Abstract | Mobiles have made the world come closer for communication. Each and every part of the country requires mobile network coverage because of mobiles usability. There is a need of good and continuous network services from the mobile companies. Therefore, there is a need for suitable site selection for more BTS that can provide good coverage. In the present work it has been discussed how GIS as a tool can effectively and efficiently, be used for site suitability analysis to set up more towers with minimum time and cost in a particular area. Based on the requirements of the companies the model is developed to prioritize the area of interest. It will also help to simulate different scenarios by varying height of the towers at different locations. The suitable sites can be identified very quickly and easily. This concept has been used (for a study) to identify suitable site for locating communication towers in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. All this work and information will surly help various telecommunication companies to densify their communication network and provide a good and uninterrupted service |
