Converting RBS Coordinates to Decimal Format in Ericsson Systems

To convert RBS (Rational Based Seconds) values to decimal degrees for latitude and longitude, divide the values by 3600.

Calculation:

  1. Latitude:

\text{Decimal Latitude} = \frac{227463}{3600} = 63.18417

  1. Longitude:

\text{Decimal Longitude} = \frac{-2550440}{3600} = -708.45556

Result:

Latitude: 63.18417

Longitude: -708.45556

I hope it is correct

Thanks, but the longitude cannot be -708.4.

Hi, I got a weird formula that I have no idea where it came from, but I’m currently using…

latitude * 93206.7 and longitude * 46603.4

The struct has also the latitudeSign to point in which position of the equator you are placed. It worked…

But as I mentioned before, those numbers are black magic :slight_smile:

===========================================================

RBS format :: 227463 [A] & -2550440 [B]

Convert from RBS to Lat/Long format
=(A90)/2^23 = 2.440413237
=(B360)/2^24 = -54.72650528

===========================================================

Lat/Long Format :: 2.440413237 [C] & -54.72650528 [D]

Convert from Lat/Long to RBS format
=(C2^23)/90 = 227463
=(D2^24)/360 = -2550440

===========================================================
Hope this will help you.

Yes, if you are using Atoll, you need to use the correct conversion tool.

There is a website that can accurately handle both single and batch coordinate conversions.
