AIRCOM Releases ACP Module for Radio Planning Tool

(Product News, 22 Sep 2008)

AIRCOM has released a new module—ASSET ACP—for the planning tool ASSET. Featuring a built-in range of proven optimization algorithms, taken from their fully functioning ACP (Automatic Cell Planning) tool, ADVANTAGE. The new ACP module enables operators to rapidly design antenna subsystem configuration and power settings.

The ASSET ACP module can be used by all planners, amplifying the benefits throughout an operator, allowing expert resource free to concentrate their efforts in more challenging tasks. In less than 10 mouse clicks, users can begin start optimising network plans from within ASSET ACP, achieving typical improvements of around 10 percent in planning KPIs.

ASSET ACP has been designed to deliver automation with the minimum of manual effort. Using the same familiar user interface as ASSET, ASSET ACP is an easy way to add ACP capabilities, delivering outstanding ROI at a remarkably low cost. Network plan performance can now be maximised quickly and cost effectively.

Containing simple definitions and automated preparation of planning data needed to run optimizations, using ASSET ACP eliminates the risk of data transfer errors and accelerates start times. Automation of these activities can result in improvements on manual designs by over 10 percent and can increase engineering efficiency by up to eight times. Analysis of results is fully integrated with ASSET, making reporting and analysis of results extremely easy to interpret.
