3D Radio Network Planning
3D screen capture showing coverage from two transmitters and a link between two microwave sites. In 3D mode, users have the ability to view a project from any angle, any height and to zoom in or out of a project, restricted only by the users map resolution. In this view a town is shown in the foreground with hills rising beyond.

Analyse
Potential Interference
Few radio networks today enjoy
the freedom of noise limited coverage. Spectrum demand means frequency
sharing. ICS Telecom lets the planner analyse the resulting interference
and balance network availability with spectrum resource and budget.

Simulcast Delay Spread
The design of simultaneous broadcast systems in both mobile radio, paging and broadcast has long been a specialist area. As these networks move to high speed signalling consideration must be given to the receipt of multiple received signals each having suffered different propagation delays. Colours on the image show the danger areas where differential time delays exceed limits.

Best Server
In fixed radio access networks and indeed anywhere where links are needed to a multiplicity of outstations or subscribers, knowledge of which base station serves best is critical to antenna orientation at that subscriber. The report shown can also include 2nd, 3rd..., best server.

Full Link Path Analysis
Comprehensive link path analysis is standard within ICS Telecom showing a full and detailed cross section of the terrain and path geometry. ICS Telecom gives the Radio Network Planning Engineer the confidence that a path between users will be available when needed.

Directional Subscriber Antennas
ICS Telecom has an internal equipment database that comes as standard. The tool allows the user to design their own antennas for use at base stations, link terminals and at subscribers. These polar responses can be viewed and used in 3D, allowing the Network Planner virtually unlimited network modelling potential.

High Capacity Sites Database
Individual subscribers are now included in a powerful separate database mirroring the transition from general area planning through to installed base with known future prospects thus developing the network from concept to roll out. Data may also be imported from a network planning departments existing database.

|
|
|
Multi-media Database per Site
Sites can comprise hundreds of co-located base station/terminal equipments. Each base station/terminal has the ability to be linked to Microsoft Word, Access, audio files, AVI files and to a range of Image file formats. This powerful utility gives the Network Planner the ability to log completely the history, current status and future of any site within their network.
