The questions of planning and building of base platforms of mobile communication networks have a very important practical value. It is caused by the fact that nowadays numbers of mobiles stations operating in the general bands of frequencies on the limited territory, constantly grow. Hence, the technical problem of the effective planning and building of base platforms of mobile communication belonging to networks of different operators becomes even more complicated due to the problem of permissible mutual interferences between networks of different companies. Resolution of this problems would give way to the possibility of effective development of 3G and 4G cellular communications, as well as digital television and radio broadcasting in Ukraine.
In these conditions getting systematized information concerning main practical stages of project design for construction and deployment of base stations for mobile networks remains topical. Today, gathering and collating such information appears very difficult because the hardware involved comes from different foreign producers and the references are scattered among different sources and are hard for mass readers to obtain.
Therefore, the teaching staff of the department of radio technologies of the university pays very careful attention to practical drills undergone by students on the real hardware – base station RBS 2202, which was kindly donated to the chair by the mobile operator "Kiivstar GSM”. This week under the guidance of the chief of chair prof. Sayko V.G. a new, more powerful, version of OMT software has been installed that broadens possibilities for software and hardware control and maintenance.
It will allow the staff to conduct practical and laboratory classes using this equipment in the frameworks of the disciplines «Systems of mobile communication» and «Technical maintenance of radio hardware» in the following ways:
1. Study of functional diagrams and maintenance rules for the base station Ericsson  RBS 2202.
2. Mastering OMT software and its utilization for carrying out configuration process for the base station RBS 2202.
3. Obtaning practical skills on using OMT software for performing typical tasks during configuration, operational modes selection and adjustment and in emergencies as well.
