TEMS CellPlanner Universal is Ericsson´s tool for
mobile radio network planning. It is a highly graphical, easy-to-use, PC-based
tool for design, realization, and optimization of mobile radio networks. TEMS
CellPlanner Universal helps the user to roll out and expand mobile radio
networks, and optimize radio network regarding service availability and service
quality. It assists the user in a number of complex tasks, including network
dimensioning, traffic planning, site configuration, and frequency planning.
TEMS CellPlanner Universal is the key to successfully competing in the market
place.
TEMS CellPlanner Universal provides support for WCDMA,
GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, iDEN, CDMA, CDMA2000 1xRTT, TDMA/AMPS,
NMT 450, NMT 900, TACS, and E-TACS. TEMS CellPlanner Universal also provides
support for GPRS and EGPRS (EDGE), implemented in GSM system
The modular platform makes it possible to customize
TEMS CellPlanner Universal to meet the needs of every customer. TEMS
CellPlanner Universal can be used in all phases of a radio networks life cycle,
from early planning to the most complex optimization. The combination of the
modular platform and a modern programming language also make it possible to add
new functionality in a fast and easy way. In addition, open interfaces enable
connection to external data sources for easy exchange of data.
TEMS CellPlanner Universal incorporates the following
major features:
· User-friendly, intuitive menu
structure and guided work flows.
· TEMS CellPlanner Universal uses an
Ericsson-developed GIS Engine specially developed to fit the needs of a
demanding RF planning tool. TEMS CellPlanner Universal can read several map
data formats natively, and it also handles multiple resolutions.
· Propagation prediction modeling and
calculation of signal coverage and interference.
· Allows real network deployment
scenarios such as layered network architectures, distributed antennas,
repeaters, and macro-/micro cells. It supports both Baseband and Synthesized
Frequency hopping with MAIO management.
· Efficient and sophisticated radio
propagation in urban and rural environments including automatic model tuning
· Direct import of TEMS™ logfiles to
tune propagation models or analyze network performance
· True Multi-technology support.
· TEMS CellPlanner Universal 5.0 was
designed to be a multi standard/multi-technology RF planning tool. All
technologies can co-exist in the same session. Each technology follows the same
flow, making it easier for the user to understand the tool.
· Generic import interface
