TEMS CellPlanner helps
operators get ahead with
LTE planning
TEMS CellPlanner is already on the
market, supporting the planning and
design of new LTE networks.
The latest release of TEMS
CellPlanner, version 8.1, is being
used by Ericsson’s service delivery
organization to plan and implement
LTE networks for operators around
the world. In addition, a prominent
European operator has already
purchased the product to deploy
one of the first commercial LTE
networks ever.
On November 17, TEMS customers
and personnel from throughout Africa
met in Cape Town, South Africa, for a
one-day seminar spotlighting a wide
range of TEMS tools. The gathering
was timed to coincide with Africa Com
2008, the region’s largest and most
prestigious telecommunications event
that held its 11th annual conference –
in which TEMS participated – later in
the week.
The seminar covered a wide range of
topics, including

The session-packed day ended with
a festive dinner at one of the city’s
leading seafood restaurants. Good
company blended with a lovely seaside
view made for a memorable evening.
Attendees described the seminar as
highly informative and well-organized,
with an intensive program presented
with insight and professionalism, up-
holding the solid TEMS reputation in
Africa.
Although the event was well-attended,
many who expressed interest were un-
able to come. To better accommodate
potential attendees in the region, plans
for 2009 are expected to include a
number of mini-seminars to be held in
various regions of the continent
