GSM Global RF planning solution

The RF planning solution software is a comprehensive Windows-based multi-technology and user-friendly radio-planning environment that supports wireless telecom operators throughout the entire network lifecycle, from initial design to densification and optimization.

This software supports the following technologies:

• GSM/TDMA

• GPRS/EDGE

• W-CDMA/UMTS

• CdmaOne/CDMA2000

• Microwave links

Apart from its engineering capabilities, the software is an open, scalable and flexible technical information system that integrates easily with other IT systems, increases productivity and shortens lead times. In addition, it provides an open interface platform to support any customized requirements.

The software is designed to work in a very wide range of implementation scenarios, from standalone to enterprise-wide server-based configurations using distributed and parallel computing.
