Radioplan announce optimization toolset for HSDPA

August 26, 2004

Radioplan, vendor of 3G radio network optimization and simulation solutions, announced the first commercial simulation and optimization toolset for WCDMA's High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA).

As part of the newly released feature set of WiNeS 3.1, the latest version of Radioplan's widely used 3G optimization solution, HSDPA simulation and optimization capabilities put the WiNeS toolset at the forefront of current technology.

"We are happy that Radioplan is able to continually lead the way in the field of network optimization", said Dietrich Hunold, Radioplan's Technical Director. "Our innovations are primarily driven by customer feedback on future needs, and that means we are ready to serve those needs in a timely fashion, ensuring that commercial objectives can be achieved".

Radioplan's WiNeS optimization solution, which is currently in commercial use both within operator groups and major vendors, is also used as part of several professional services projects currently supplied directly to mobile operators by Radioplan.

"Practical thinking and customer focus is at the heart of everything we do at Radioplan," said Hunold, "and exposure to the real problems of the end user feeds naturally into our development process, ensuring that the WiNeS toolset addresses highly complex tasks in an easy-to-use fashion".

WiNeS 3.1 also includes the latest versions of several vendor specific RRM algorithms, import and export capabilities for both Motorola's Netplan and Xenicom's Odyssey planning tools, advanced support for neighbor list optimization, support for a variety of languages, and many additional analysis functions.

Radioplan will be presenting the WiNeS optimization solution at IIR's 3G Networks conference in Lisbon, 20-23 September 2004.
