Coverage Objectives

This section is meant to describe the coverage objectives for the system. The
following are suggested points that need to be covered in this section:
■ What is the current coverage of the system?
■ What are the coverage requirements?
■ Which areas need coverage?
This information should be derived from the Marketing, Operations, RF,
and System Performance Engineering departments.

This section should include a map of the geographic area that encompasses
the system. The map should include which type of coverage objective
is desired and its approximate differentiation on a map. The map could
either be of the existing system or of an area that is currently being contemplated
for building a system.
If multiple phases are associated with the build program, then this
should also be reflected in the coverage objective section. In the event of
multiple phases, a map showing the overall plan differentiating the different
phases should be included also. Such a map will be used as the foundation
for the deployment of resources that will be tied into the overall system
design document.
If the system is currently existing, then a coverage map should also be
included with this section. The coverage map should convey where the current
system coverage problems are.  406
