What do you mean by Extended Cell? Does it have any impact on the system? If yes, what?

a) Extended cell feature enables the operators for extending the coverage without installing new cell cites.

b) Extended cell feature is designed specifically for providing covering in rural areas, where density of population is low and installation of additional cell sites.

c) New features can be deployed in coastal areas for providing GSM coverage in offshore waters

d) It’s impact is:

- The cell radius could be double or even more, based on the antenna, type of terrain and timing advance
- Indoor coverage is supported by GSM and could be achieved with the usage of picocell base station or an indoor repeater along with distributed indoor antennas.
