5G RAN Integration Success Story
September 24, 2025
Our client, a Tier-1 mobile operator in LATAM, is deploying 4G and 5G across the entire network to enhance coverage and improve user experience. Given the number of sites and layers to be integrated and the strict deadlines, a reliable partner with expertise in RAN Planning, Integration, and Optimization was needed. Aspire has been providing support to ensure seamless integration of new sites and carriers, while delivering performance within the customer’s defined targets.
The services Aspire delivers include a set of activities from the early design stage to the final site acceptance, starting with the site solution design and list of materials, proceeding with integration script creation, followed by commissioning and health checks, and concluding with site stability follow-up, initial tuning, and acceptance through KPIs and drive test validation.
Aspire established a multi-disciplinary team capable of meeting the customer’s requirements across the three main areas of the project (Planning, Integration, and Optimization). Combined with our software solutions, this approach enabled cost-effective and timely service delivery, allowing site planning, integration, and commissioning in less than 24 hours. The following solutions were adopted for each area:
- Integration – ATAP NetIntegrator
- RF Planning – ATAP NetPlanner
- Initial tuning/Optimization – ATAP NetConfig and NetInsights
The milestones achieved so far have very high customer satisfaction, particularly due to our ability to resolve bottlenecks efficiently throughout the process, and to the rapid site planning and activation in less than 24 hours – a significant improvement compared to other vendors, who typically require around 3 days. The demonstrated success of our collaboration resulted in the expansion of the regions awarded to Aspire, i.e., increasing the scope of the initial agreement.
We’d like to thank the project teams from both sides for their solid work and collaboration throughout this technology deployment. Their professionalism and technical skills are evident, and we wish them all the best during the remainder of the project.
