Up-to-date and accurate geospatial data is needed for RF planningEfficient planning for the telecommunications industry is essential to ensure cost-effective and rapid network roll-out. ComputaMaps manufactures and supplies the high quality geospatial datasets needed for accurate network planning in both mobile and fixed wireless environments. Using advanced mapping techniques, it is possible to accurately model the network environment prior to actual physical deployment of network infrastructure. This allows engineers to understand the characteristics of radio wave propagation in that particular environment (including the effects of reflection, diffraction and scattering) and develop an optimum network design. Optimum placement of radio towers ensures high service quality, and accurate and careful planning can ensure that only the required number of base stations are installed, reducing overall costs. Modeling software requires high quality geospatial data that accurately reflect the real-world network environment. ComputaMaps specializes in providing this data to our client's specifications. ComputaMaps datasets are designed to be seamless and scaleable ensuring that we can provide datasets appropriate to the planning requirement at hand but completely integrated with additional datasets as the network evolves. Solutions tailored to RF planners' needsComputaMaps responds directly to the data experiences and requirements of RF engineers in formulating our products . For example, orthoimagery is standard in our Urban Planner package, not an additional add-on. Clutter layers are derived from the latest satellite imagery, not from paper maps. Remote sensing specialists employ extensive ancillary ground truth data to ensure the highest classification reliability. ComputaMaps's products are seamless and multi-resolution. As network planning requirements evolve, additional databases can be immediately integrated with existing data. With an extensive catalog of products and the ability to process raw data quickly and accurately, ComputaMaps is able to respond to the immediate needs of RF engineers and deliver product rapidly. We dedicate unrivalled personal attention and customer support to our clients. Possible applicationsThe ComputaMaps Region Planner database allows RF planners to quickly visualize terrain and clutter over large regions or whole countries. The Urban Planner can then assist with modeling, planning and analysis in the macrocellular network environment and the City Planner datasets in the microcellular environment. The Urban Planner database is also valuable in the fixed wireless environment, allowing planners to reliably predict coverage and optimize the location of transmitters. The full range of ComputaMaps' products can also be employed for the optimal planning of microwave links. The City Planner database provides an accurate Digital Surface Model DSM) which allows for line-of-sight calculation required by Local Multipoint Distribution Services (LMDS). |
Featured Product
Urban Planner
The Urban Planner is a medium resolution database of accurate and up-to-date terrain, clutter, vectors and orthoimagery.
It allows for accurate propagation modeling, frequency planning and analysis of network capacity and site overlap in the macro-cellular network environment.
