Europe
: Radioplan, the leading independent vendor of 3G radio network optimisation
and simulation solutions, announced the world's first commercial simulation
and optimisation toolset for WCDMA's High Speed Downlink Packet Access
(HSDPA).
As part
of the newly released feature set of WiNeS 3.1, the latest version
of Radioplan's widely used 3G optimisation solution, HSDPA simulation
and optimisation capabilities put the WiNeS toolset at the forefront
of current technology.
"We
are happy that Radioplan is able to continually lead the way in the
field of network optimisation", said Dietrich Hunold, Radioplan's
Technical Director. "Our innovations are primarily driven by
customer feedback on future needs, and that means we are ready to
serve those needs in a timely fashion, ensuring that commercial objectives
can be achieved".
Radioplan's
WiNeS optimisation solution, which is currently in commercial use
both within operator groups and major vendors, is also used as part
of several professional services projects currently supplied directly
to mobile operators by Radioplan. This broad experience has allowed
Radioplan's engineers to understand the challenges facing network
engineers in practical environments.
“Practical
thinking and customer focus is at the heart of everything we do at
Radioplan,” said Hunold, “and exposure to the real problems
of the end user feeds naturally into our development process, ensuring
that the WiNeS toolset addresses highly complex tasks in an easy-to-use
fashion".
WiNeS
3.1 also includes the latest versions of several vendor specific RRM
algorithms, import and export capabilities for both Motorola's Netplan
and Xenicom's Odyssey planning tools, advanced support for neighbour
list optimisation, support for a variety of languages, and many additional
analysis functions.
Radioplan
will be presenting the WiNeS optimisation solution at IIR’s
3G Networks conference in Lisbon, 20-23 September 2004.
