Abstract

GIS technologies are essential tools that are useful in various services and it plays an important role in telecommunication system. GIS together with GPS with high resolution imagery play an important role for better site selection in the city for telecommunication system such as Mast. This study examines the analysis of telecommunication system of the local government area. Primary and Secondary data were acquired from 6 areas of Ibadan North East Local Government Area, Ibadan. The primary data involve the use of GPS PROMARK 3 to acquire x, y, z coordinates of each Mast under investigation while the secondary data were the interview from the residents living within the study area based on signal capability/strength. Various analyses of spatial and nonspatial techniques were carried out on telecommunication Mast such as telecommunication mast height, signal strength with the use of android telephone, layers of area for creation of geometric network along with land base features for telecommunication Mast mapping, Location of tower, provider name, and along with tower type and ward boundaries. From the results, it was ascertained that the use of GIS and GPS for spatial analysis of telecommunication Mast will go a long way for planning and management of telecommunication use within the local government.
