With the increasing complexity of mobile networks as they migrate from 2G to 3G systems, more accurate and reliable planning data become an indispensable basis for network planning, optimization, and operation. As a response to this requirement, RPS can deliver highly accurate radio coverage data within short time. These unrivaled properties are assured by its superior technology. RPS uses a ray launching approach that sets no limitation for any propagation effect and delivers much more precise results than any empirical propagation model. Furthermore, RPS works extremely efficiently and owes its speed to the massive parallelism of the calculations that can be distributed over many workstations in a LAN.

“Our present solution can handle huge 3-dimensional building databases without restriction on the orientation of polygons. Such a precision of the underlying environment data is necessary for accurate 3G network planning and 4G system design.”, Johannes Huebner says, Radioplan’s executive manager. “Notwithstanding the immense complexity of that system, its efficiency is ensured thanks to its highly parallelized structure. A reference installation on a fully equipped XEON™ blade server system at a big customer demonstrated an unprecedented performance that exceeded our own expectations.”
