In this lab you will act as spectrum planner for a hypothetical mobile operator launching 5G in a mixed urban, suburban, and rural market. You are given a portfolio of licensed bands spanning low-band, mid-band, and millimeter-wave frequencies along with specific traffic demand forecasts for each geography. Your task is to assign bands to coverage layers, configure appropriate channel bandwidths, and balance total area coverage against peak throughput targets while respecting a fixed deployment capital budget that prevents simply deploying everything everywhere.
