Analysis of BTS Selection for Implementation Of Multi Operator Core Network (MOCN): Merger Case Study PT Indosat Ooredoo Tbk With PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia
Abstract
Multi Operator Core Network (MOCN) is aproject that aims to create a network system core for several telecommunication operators in one system, first implemented in Indonesia by Indosat Ooredoo and Hutchison 3. Before the merger Indosat Ooredoo has 29,503 physical BTS and Hutchison 3 Indonesia has 32,489 physical BTS, a total of 61,992 physical BTS that must be maintained and monitored but they are not yet integrated with each other. This makes the focus on customer service larger and Unintegrated. With MOCN, BTS networks will be able to be integrated and focus on customer service can be maximized. Indonesia currently uses a tower collocation scheme, where in 1 tower there can be more than 1 operator. Similarly, at Indosat Ooredoo and H3I, there are 22,389 BTS units physically located on the same tower, commonly referred to as 'pair collo'. A decision is needed to determine whether Node B should be activated for MOCN or deactivated during the network consolidation process.. Technical analysis by considering BTS capacity, coverage, antenna position, and transmission mode to determine which BTS provides greater benefits to IOH after the network merger. With the network merger, it is hoped that there will be efficiency in network maintenance of 27.6%, as well as maintenance cost efficiency which will be reduced. This research aims to provide strategic and operational solutions for managing the infrastructure, especially related to the selection of operational sites and network optimization. Literature study, case study, and comparative analysis is used in this research. Solution applied includes reconciliation and monitoring post-MOCN performance and ensuring quality the network remains maintained, while maximizing tower rental efficiency.
