Dresden,
Germany. --June 28, 2004-- Radioplan, a leading supplier of 3G radio
network simulation, optimization, and measurement analysis solutions,
has been selected to supply radio network optimization tools and
services to four new customers in EMEA and Japan.
Following extensive technical trials and evaluations of a
wide range of tools, Radioplan’s WiNeS optimization platform and
consulting services were chosen to support demanding pre-launch
optimization projects by both 3G vendors and 3G mobile operator clients.
Johannes Huebner, Radioplan’s Executive Manager,
commented “Naturally we are delighted Radioplan’s tools have proven to
be of the technical quality and commercial maturity required to perform
such mission critical tasks. I am particularly pleased that our unique
approaches to solving network optimization problems, which include
proprietary processing methods and support of the end-to-end workflow,
were decisive factors.”
Founded in 2000, Radioplan has doubled in size
year-on-year through organic growth, and the company now supports
customers in more than 15 countries across the globe from its Dresden
base. The WiNeS product range allows 3G operators to re-engineer the
radio environment in a targeted manner by enabling fast and flexible
scenario modeling, helping operators examine and support the network
quality goals underpinning their business.
“By cutting the time it takes to optimize a particular
network scenario to a few minutes, rather than days, Radioplan’s
solutions allow our customers to examine a wide range of scenarios in
just hours, allowing them to consider the trade-offs inherent in a 3G
network design and understand the capabilities of existing
infrastructure before they make expensive, unnecessary changes” said
Dietrich Hunold, Radioplan’s Technical Director.
In addition to fast, field-proven optimization
mechanisms, Radioplan’s WiNeS software platform features integrated
support for a wide range of commercially available measurement
acquisition systems and network planning tools, including the latest
Atoll™ API from Forsk™,
allowing tuning of pathloss data using drive test results and discovery
of logical network errors. WiNeS also provides an extended optimization
suite, including 2G/3G site selection, cost constraint management,
fully-featured graphical, temporal and statistical analysis, and
interfaces to vendor-specific RRM algorithms. Several vendor-specific
RRM libraries are already supported, allowing extremely precise
prediction and optimization of 3G network behavior.
Radioplan will be demonstrating their integrated UMTS
dynamic simulation, measurement analysis and optimization solution at
the IIR WCDMA Cell Planning conference in Prague, Czech Republic, 29
June – 2 July 2004. More details are available at
