a bit off topic but from the Gen-i CEO Webcast earlier Today, IIRC One of the major UK providers only has 4 RNC's to cover the entire network going across the UK,
Question for John: Do you think there would be any benefit in building a second South Island RNC? Maybe in Dunedin? If the Chch one dies, does Vodafone re-route the traffic to Wellington or something (hypothetical question here)?
Changing the IuB routing from 1 RNC to another is not a quick change just before christmas we starting migrating 3G cells from manukau RNC to Frankton RNC And this took alot of planning so there was no impact to customers.
At cell and core network 2G and 3G are seperate so if 3G plays up we can lock down 3G and same for 2G we have full control of the cell. If it has no pwer thats a different story.
Arguably yes... LTE sites will probably be configured to offer 3G, GPRS and GSM as well, so there will be no loss of any of the layers, from what I've read.
