Web Planning Tower Base Transceiver Station Collective Mobile Telecommunications in Merauke City Based On Geographic Information Systems Using Mapinfo For The Next 10 Years

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a master plan for mapping joint cellular telecommunication BTS towers in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Communication and Information Number : 02/Per/M.Kominfo/03/2008 regarding the use of towers together. The method used to collect and process data and analyze the distribution zone using MapInfo software. The data collection was an existing BTS towers and population which calculating and find the need of towers in the future by calculating the number of residents, users, traffic, then processed to calculate the number of BTS and shared towers and through coverage the possible distribution zones of the towers described through MapInfo are determined. The results obtained are a master plan containing predictions of the need for BTS towers in 2029 as many as 43 BTS with each tower occupied by a maximum of 3 providers so as to minimize the occurrence of tower forests and an overview of the pattern regarding the distribution of shared towers using the MapInfo software.
