Python in radio network planning ?

[kapez]

I have interesting question for senior members this forum.

How relate together two concepts: Radio network planning and optimisation and Programming language Python

Thanks, for an explanation.

I would say for scripting to reformat large files containing lists with coordinates (site location data, test drives, coverage area filters, vectors, DEMs of different formats) from one format into another for easier import into the radio planning tool or other Database.

And in which format are these large files?

It could be :

A drive test which is mis-configured so that the coordinates are in the incorrect zone or hemisphere (or any coordinate format which is not supported in the tool) and otherwise would need to be adjusted manually or the drive test needs to be redone.

If the mapping data is from a restricted area, maybe they have stripped the leading significant digits as unnecessary because they never change for the area they are using for the last 50 years.

Different countries use commas, decimal points, colons or other symbols interchangeably. Maybe they have the correct complete coordinates but the wrong projection ( or again a projection not supported not supported in the tool)


Basically any format which cant be handled automatically to import into a database or radio planning tool.
