Summary/Abstract: The optimal placement of GSM communication stations in mountainous areas is a key step in ensuring network coverage and operational efficiency. This paper proposes a complete and automated GIS-based methodology for identifying locations situated at altitudes above the 1000 m threshold, using TIN terrain models, raster conversion, spatial selection, and 2D/3D validation of the results. The method eliminates the subjectivity of manual selection and provides a rigorous technical basis for telecommunications design in rugged terrain.
