The project "T.I.GR.A.N" (Tower InterGRated Armenian Network) of
Orange Armenia has been rewarded by the France Telecom Group for
innovation during the award ceremony 2010 in Paris. In a little time,
Orange Armenia team built a project which will not only enrich France
Telecom/Orange experience, but also allow to build mobile networks
with much less costs and time.
Before this project all equipments were generally installed near
the tower, on the ground floor, on a dedicated concrete slab. The
innovation of TIGRAN consists in the structure of the site: the
equipments are installed directly on a platform inside the tower. This
new concept allows optimizing GSM Greenfield site design: space,
construction time and costs.
"I am happy to manage this team, which is motivated and full of new
ideas. The TIGRAN team consists of Armenian and French engineers,
and that's the result of their joint research. We are a part of a
big Group, and this idea will be used in the future during other
network roll-out projects. Orange Armenia is really proud for this
contribution", said Bruno Duthoit, CEO of Orange Armenia.
The project was born last year, when Orange Armenia launched the first
stage of network roll-out and the first TIGRAN tower was installed
in June 2009. Since more than 100 towers were built with this new
principle.
