Gerd Woelfle joined the company in 1998 and today he is responsible for the WinProp software suite including ProMan, WallMan and AMan. He coordinates the development activities for these software packages and is responsible for the integration of customer-specific extensions to the suite.
Since 1993 Gerd has been engaged in wireless communications and he developed software (propagation models, network planning tools) and hardware (measurement equipment, basestation transceivers) for the wireless industry. Gerd has authored and co-authored more than 60 scientific papers, got two best paper awards at international conferences, and holds international patents in USA, Japan and Europe.

Reiner Hoppe

Reiner Hoppe is with AWE Communications since 1998. He is currently head of the satellite activities within AWE Communications and he is leading the evolution of the deterministic (ray-optical) propagation models in WinProp.
In his PhD thesis Reiner developed the IRT (Intelligent Ray Tracing), a new ray tracing algorithm with extremely short computation time and high accuracy.
Reiner is involved in the development of propagation models since 1995 and has published more than 40 scientific papers, several journal papers and a chapter in the Wiley Encyclopedia of Telecommunications. Reiner was also a member of the European COST 259 and 273 activities and is representing AWE Communications in the European Integrated Satcom Initiative (ISI).

Rene Wahl

Rene Wahl joined AWE Communications during the development of the Dominant Path Model (DPM). 

Today Rene is responsible for the evolution of the DPM. And he is head of the development of propagation models for time-variant scenarios. This includes all automotive activities within AWE Communications.
Rene published several scientific papers related to the Dominant Path Model and to the propagation models for time-variant scenarios.

Angelika Woelfle

Angelika Woelfle is responsible for the administration and the finances of AWE Communications. 

Soon after joining AWE Communications in 1998, she organized the accounting department and all financial processes in the company. 
Today she is responsible for all financial activities (accounting, taxes,..) and she is head of the administration (Human Resources, Sales,...).
Besides these activities, she is also responsible for the negotiation of research and development contracts with our partners.

Oliver Staebler

Oliver Staebler joined AWE Communications in 2006. At that time he was primarily involved in the development of the prediction models for time-variant scenarios  In a project with a German GSM and 3G network operator he also contributed to the evolution of the 2.5G and 3G system simulators of AWE Communications.

Today he is responsible for the WiMAX and 3G network simulators.
