News around AWE Communications and WinProp in 2008/2007:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rockwell
Collins, focused on smart communications
and aviation electronics solutions, selected
WinProp for the modeling of wave propagation in rural, urban, and indoor scenarios.
|
|
|
|
RaySat
Broadcasting Inc., a leading
US based manufacturer and supplier of in-motion,
low-profile, phased-array satellite antennas for the commercial,
railway, OEM and aftermarket automotive industries, selected WinProp for the evaluation of the satellite
coverage in US cities.
Satellite signals are blocked due to obstacles (e.g. buildings, hills,
vegetation,...). By using the fast 3D ray tracing of
WinProp an accurate
analysis of the satellite coverage based on the evaluation of 3D urban
vector building data (incl. topograpghy)
is feasible. This helps to reduce costs for time-consuming and
expensive measurements.

The WinProp Seminars
are offered to all our customers
and to interested companies around the world.
After the significant growth of customers in East Asia during the year
2007, the seminar is now offered for the
first time in the South East Asia region (since 2005 seminars were
already offered with our distributor
Couei in Japan, but the South East Asia region was not served up to
now).
The Technical University
of Melaka hosts the Seminar for two days in April 2008 in Melaka,
Malaysia.

AWE Communications is partner in the J-ORTIGIA project
(co-funded by the European
Space Agency (ESA), see official press-release) which aims at providing DVB-SH
technology trials in Spain, Italy, and Japan between April 2008 and
March 2009.
In the framework of this project AWE
Communications will provide the
coverage planning of the different trial networks and will refine the DVB-SH module of the WinProp
radio network planning
suite.
|
|
|
The cellular network operator UMC (Ukrainian Mobile
Communications) selected the WinProp Propagation
Plug-In for the Atoll
radio network planning tool from Forsk to increase the accuracy of the
prediction especially in urban scenarios.
|
|
|
|
The semi-deterministic Dominant Path Model
now offers a new and enhanced auto tuning capability. This feature
allows the automatic determination of the ‘best’ propagation model
settings (e.g. diffraction loss, path loss exponents) based on
measurement data.
The auto tuning feature is now also available in the new update of the propagation plug-in for Aircom Enterprise.
|
|
|
|
The ESA
(European Space Agency) extended the successful ORTIGIA
project to the next phase (CCN 2).
In the framework of the extended ORTIGIA
project AWE Communications provides radio network planning activities
for the DVB-SH trial network
run by Fraunhofer
IIS
in the Erlangen area.

After purchasing a first license of
WinProp in October 2007, the Korean Electronics
and Telecommunications Research Institute ETRI now increased the number of licenses (after evaluating the
software, WinProp's sophisticated indoor
propagation
models convinced the engineers in Korea and so they decided to increase
their number of licenses).
|
|
|
|
AWE Communications was again very successful in 2007. The company was
able to increase significantly the
revenue and the
number of licenses sold to new customers.
Compared to 2006, the revenue grew in 2007 approx. 14% and many new
customers selected the innovative
propagation models of the WinProp software suite.
This growth in revenue and licenses
helped AWE Communications to strengthen its position as the world
market leader for wave propagation models.
(Example: In 2007 more than 100 licenses of the propagation engine for the iBwave RF-vu suite
were sold).

|
|
|
Polkomtel S.A. carried out an intensive trial campaign of
urban coverage prediction models available as plug-in for the Atoll radio network
planning tool from Forsk. The WinProp plug-in was ranked number one
as it provides very fast and highly accurate wave propagation models
for urban scenarios based
on the evaluation of 3D building vector data. Further criteria
evaluated support and product maturity as well as the further product
evolution.

iBwave
Solutions Inc.
released version 4.0 of the radio network planning tool RF-vu which
uses the propagation engine of AWE Communications with the latest and
most popular indoor wave
propagation models of AWE
Communications.
The new propagation plug-in was improved in terms of
accuracy, prediction time and robustness against errors in vector
building databases.
|
|
|
|
AWE Communications presents WinProp at the 2nd European
Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) in
Edinburgh,
UK between Nov 11 and Nov 16, 2007.
Besides
the exhibition AWE Communications will also presents a scientific paper
related to high resolution spatial channel impulse responses in indoor
scenarios.
|
|
|
|
The German Research Institute Fraunhofer Gesellschaft selected
WinProp for a detailed modeling of wireless communications in indoor
environments.
For rural propagation analysis in VHF and UHF frequency band, the
German engineering company GeoConcept selected WinProp.
|
|
|
|
A
new version of the wave propagation plug-in for Aircom
Enterprise is released. The new plug-in containes enhanced
propagation models for rural,
suburban,
and urban scenarios
(incl. indoor coverage
in CNP mode).
It is able to handle
all kinds of scenarios within one simulation and considers urban vector
buildings, topography
and clutter/landusage data. Furthermore, the new multi scenario model
is improved in terms of accuracy and prediction time to handle larger
areas.
Additionally
an auto-calibration functionality is available to tune and
post-calibrate the model
settings with measurement data.

The French ministry for defence selected WinProp propagation
models for rural, urban, and indoor scenarios.
|
|
|
|
AWE Communications presents a scientific paper at the 18th
annual Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications in
Athens, Greece between Sep 3rd and 7th, 2007.

Samsung selects 3D Ray
Tracing and WiMAX Network planning
For the deeper understanding of the wireless radio channel, Samsung selected the
highly accurate WinProp 3D Ray Tracing. This is especially important
for MIMO channel
modeling.
Besides
the channel modeling, Samsung purchased additionally the WiMAX network planning module
for the planning of WiMAX networks in rural and urban scenarios.

Transtel Engineering selects WinProp
for the planning of radio networks
The telecom systems integrator Transtel
Engineering from Singapore selects the WinProp software suite for
the planning of a radio network on a huge petrol-chemical plant.
