Abstract
This invention uses a computer program to mine preexisting wireless data located in a variety of preexisting source GSM wireless network databases. The computer program either creates a new wireless database from parts of existing wireless databases or modifies an existing wireless database. The computer program replaces the current system's reliance upon manual data entry by data engineers to configure the operation of a new telecommunication switch or replace the software in a telecommunication switch that was damaged or requires a new wireless network data configuration. This invention provides accurate and timely customer information, significantly decreases the time interval for engineering a new wireless database, decreases the research and data entry time, decreases the interval for lab planning and project management, improves wireless database integrity, provides a cleaner wireless database, reuses existing data eliminating double data entry, reuses some existing software code, and uses preexisting office data administration tools and provides a platform for future growth and expandability. By accomplishing these tasks, the telecommunication switch manufacturer or telecommunication switch operator saves time, money and decreases time-to-market product and service schedules.
