2. Telecom Geomarketing case study (2/7)

Area of study
> Location: Sibut (Central African Republic)
> Total population: 27,712
> Total surface: 1739 square km
Assumption: population per square km > 20
> Urban: pop per sq km > 300, coverage radius: 0,5 km
> Suburban: pop per sq km: 50-300, coverage radius: 2 km
> Rural: pop per sq km: 20-50, coverage radius: 12 km

2. Telecom Geomarketing case study (3/7)

Requirements
> NEiM solution
> Population density (LandScan) vector layer of Sibut area
PS: LandScan integrates daytime movements and collective
travel habits into a single measure to produce a better
representation of where people are located during an
average day.

2. Telecom Geomarketing case study (4/7)

Step 1: Locate the most populated areas
> by SQL query: population per square km > 20 (highlighted
by the green squares in figure below)
Total targeted population: 19,566
Total targeted surface: 23 square km
PS: the above numbers have been calculated by exporting
the SQL query in CSV (Excel compatible)

Step 2: Locate the theoritical Base Stations
> by creating Base Stations in center of the targeted areas
(where population per square km > 20) (highlighted by the
blue circles in figures below)
Number of Base Stations required: 17
PS: Base Stations locations can be extracted from
the CSV export (Excel compatible)

Step 3: Calculate the % of population covered
> by comparing 2 layers: Population density vs Base
Stations
% of population covered: 63%

Results
> Number of Base Stations required: 17
(Location of Base Stations can be extracted from the CSV
file)
> % of population covered: 63%
Time to generate the above results
> Less than 2 hours (including manual tasks)
