Hi William,
I have written an application that takes a text, excel or access files with
limited cell site information and transforms it into MapInfo. The resulting
map will show sectors with correct beamwidth and orientation, which the user
can then label however desired. A copy of this utility has been sent to
Sprint PCS in Northern California. The engineer it was sent to is an LCC
employee - Shirjeel Mirza. If you contact him he should be able to help.
If not send me an email and I will send you a copy.
If you have other tables with additional information - Freq, PN, Colour
Code, Location Area, BSC (or whatever is relevant for your system) these can
be thematically added later providing you have a single reference column the
same across the tables (eg Site ID).
E.g.
Here we have daily switch data downloaded from the web. MapInfo provides a
dialog with a list of the columns. The user picks a column, and then each
sector (pie segment) is colour coded depending on which view was selected.
This has also been done for Frequency ReUse (PN codes for CDMA), where the
user selects a sector and the reuses are shown. Another tool we have is
neighbour lists - select a sector and display neighbours. This has also
been done for traffic data...
If you have specific questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Hope this helps

Subject: MI Mapbasic utility
I am hoping that someone might have a mapbasic utility that they would be
willing to share. What I am looking for is a mapbasic utility for wireless
that would label a cell site with the correct antenna orientation, that
would
cross reference a site database and change the site symbol to either a line
reference,
or pie wedge, as well as orientating it with the referenced azimuth,
beamwidth (in the case of a pie wedge), channel assignment, and site
name/number. Any assistance anyone could provide would be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
William G. Young
