The
new release V10.3
of the propagation
engine for Forsk Atoll convinced new customers.
Among them are cellular network operators in
Europe (e.g. Kyivstar
(Ukraine)) and Asia (e.g. LG Telecom in South
Korea).
The V10.3 of the plug-in offers new auto-calibration features and
improved building and topo
data interface to increase the accuracy and to accelerate the
predictions.

Samsung (Korea)
purchased WinProp in 2007 for the planning of WiMAX networks. Now
Samsung selected the powerful CNP extension to
simulate also the coverage inside buildings as well as the interference
between outdoor and indoor transmitters.
Qualcomm
(USA) has been working for a long time with WinProp to analyze the indoor propagation of
terrestrial and satellite transmitters and is now extending the number
of WinProp licenses.

In
2010, the new WinProp V10 was
sold to customers in Africa, America
(North & South), Asia, Australia, and Europe. This shows again the
worldwide success of the WinProp
software suite - for many years, WinProp was sold each year on all
continents.

The
definition of the prediction area for the urban ray tracing engine
(IRT) was extended. Now subareas can be defined to compute areas with
very high resolution even in very large cities. This feature is
especially important for a detailed analysis of the mobile radio
channel (i.e. spatial impulse response) in urban areas.

The US company Nextivity, a leading developer
of indoor cellular coverage technology, selected WinProp's highly
accuarte indoor
propagation models to analyze and to plan wireless indoor networks.
The IIS, a
German research institute of Fraunhofer in Ilmenau, purchased
also a WinProp software license.

The network optimizer module is
a plug-in for the WinProp software
package supporting the user to increase the efficiency during the
network planning process. Based on a set of transmitter locations
(defined and selected by the user), the optimizer module selects
the best locations to obtain a good coverage (with smallest
interference).
Besides the selection of the best locations the software package is
also able to
automatically assign the carriers to the transmitters to achieve lowest
interference (and highest throughput).

The
European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) will be hosted in
April 2010 in Barcelona, Spain.
AWE Communications will present the newest release of WinProp at the
exhibition of the EuCAP.

The
new release V10 of the WinProp software suite is again available in an educational edition for
universities. This educational edition includes a significant discount
and is therefore very attractive for all educational institutions.
Again several universities around the world selected the WinProp
Educational-Edition or upgraded their former version. Among the new customers are in Italy/Europe the
University of Bologna and the University of Salerno and in China/Asia the University of Shanghai and
the CETC in Guangzhou.

Vi-Re, the distributor
of the software products of AWE Communications for the Chinese market,
acquired two new customers in China:
Wuhan Fiberhome in Wuhan and the CETC institute in Guangzhou. Both
selected the powerful propagation
modules of the WinProp suite to analyze wireless networks in
various scenarios.

The
propagation engine of AWE Communications for the Forsk Atoll radio
network planning tool has been extended towards pixel databases
(topography and clutter). Now also rural and suburban scenarios
can be predicted with the new propagation engine.

The
new distributor of the software products of AWE
Communications for the North and South American market will be Newfield
Wireless, the leader in wireless network
performance improvement. Since 1995,
Newfield Wireless has supported numerous wireless operators with
network optimization, RF model calibration, and path loss measurements.
Today Newfield's client list includes major U.S. carriers and regional
operators.
Newfield owns a path loss database
for the entire United States that can be used to tune RF models from
700 MHz to 2.5 GHz. This will significantly improve the accuracy
of the new WinProp releases.

The
new release of the WinProp software tool allows the detailed radio
planning of OFDM broadcasting networks (as DVB-H, DVB-SH,
DVB-T,...) considering the synchronisation aspect in SFN networks as
well as the influence of the guard interval on the resulting signal and
interference power.

Vodacom, a leading African communications group providing mobile
communications and related services to 39.6 million customers (as at 31
March 2009), analyzes the effects of MIMO
in the cellular networks with WinProp and its propagation engines
for rural, urban, indoor, and CNP (hybrid
urban/indoor) scenarios. Especially the ray-optical
propagation models of WinProp allow a detailed analysis of the
mobile radio channel and help to understand the effects of the MIMO technology.
After the sucess in 2008, AWE
Communications has been selling Winprop in 2009 again worldwide in
Africa, America (North & South), Asia, and Europe. Even the
financial crisis was not able to stop the success of WinProp all over
the globe.

TuMan, the graphical
editor for tunnel scenarios, was extended to simplify the work with
leaky feeder cables. Additionally some CAD tools were added to the
TuMan. Additionally, all prediction results computed in the tunnel can
now be displayed in ProMan's 2D result view if they are horizontally
oriented.

The
new release of the educational
version of WinProp convinced again many universities. Among them
were the University of
L'Aquila in Italy as well as the University of Lancaster in UK.
AWE Communications has been engaged in the support for universities for
many years and nearly all universities working in the wireless
domain are using WinProp today.
