Wave Propagation Plugins for RNP Tools

DLLs for Radio Network Planning Tools

Introduction

  


Most commercial radio network planning tools offer a wide varety of features and tools for the planning of wireless networks. But very often the propagation models included in these tools are only basic models like Hata-Okumura or COST Walfisch-Ikegami. More sophisticated propagation models can only be used via an API. AWE Communications offers its popular prediction models with DLLs interfaces for 3rd party radio network planning tools.

 

If you are using Aircom Enterprise or Forsk Atoll for the outdoor network planning, you might be interested in our indoor plug-in for these two RNP tools. The indoor plug-in transforms your RNP tool into a full indoor and tunnel planning tool. With Enterprise/Atoll and with the WinProp indoor plug-in you do not need any other RNP tool for indoor network planning.

Supported Radio Network Planning Tools


WinProp's urban propagation models as well as the indoor propagation models are available for several commercial radio network planning tools:

 

 

Handling and Integration

  


The indoor propagation models are connected via WinProp's unique CNP mode to the above mentioned planning tools while the urban models are directly connected to the API provided by the tools.

The handling of the data and the integration into the tools is very simple and a task of approx. 5 minutes.

Many customers already enhanced their radio network planning process by using WinProp's accurate and flexible propagation models instead of the classical models provided by the tool manufacturer.
