CHIRplus_FX

Efficient Planning & Design for Wireless Transmission Networks

CHIRplus_FXWireless service providers today see their transmission network as a strategic asset which determines overall operational performance and profi tability.

The rapid growth in traffi c volumes and service diversity associated with 3G and 4G mobile technology directly affects the size and complexity of the backhaul network. The huge demand placed on transmission networks requires a backhaul infrastructure which is scalable, robust and cost-effective to install, operate and manage.

To address these challenges, transmission planning engineers need fl exible, resilient and easy-to-use software based on well-established engineering procedures and algorithms: CHIRplus_FX is an advanced network planning, design & optimisation software for well-engineered and economically optimised wireless backhaul solutions.

CHIRplus_FX supports the end-to-end engineering of backhaul networks including site selection, line-of-sight (LOS) analysis, detailed link engineering, channel assignment, coordination & interference analysis, as well as automated generation of licence applications and bills of material (BoM).

CHIRplus_FX, based on many years of expert engineering knowledge and customer experience, is the most modern software solution in terms of architecture, technology and ease of use.

Key to fast and cost-effective microwave link planning is operational effi ciency. Transmission engineers want to concentrate on their planning job and need software which is highly convenient to use. CHIRplus_FX is second to none when it comes to software usability, database access and database analytics.

Key Advantages and Benefits of CHIRplus _FX

Highly Modern Engineering

CHIRplus_FX: Channel Assignment Results

The highly modern and interactive engineering desktop based on synchronous databinding displays the result of a parameter change in one window in real-time in the adjacent window:

• Change i.e. a value in a data fi eld and immedi-ately see your Link Budget changed accord-ingly (without specifi c saving of the parameter entered)

Process optimisation is reached through automa-tion of numerous steps in the engineering processes.

CHIRplus_FX includes adaptive modulation for evaluation and selection of latest network technolo-gies, enabling higher throughputs and better spectral effi ciency to attain optimal quality and availability objectives in all weather conditions.

State-of-the-Art Technology

Complex calculations are based on multithreading which reduces calculation time considerably.

CHIRplus_FX is based on .NET and incorporates highly modern technologies. Innovative features and functionality are therefore added in no time at all.

More fl exibility is offered through Cloud Comput-ing: accessible via the Internet, CHIRplus_FX can be used literally anywhere; in the offi ce, at home, in the fi eld during a site visit or at a conference venue.

Database Analytics

CHIRplus_FX includes superior import & export, report and statistics functionality.

Customisable query forms enable the user to sort, fi lter and search any kind of information needed for regular reporting and the tracking of Key Perform-ance Indicators (KPIs). Determine your own search criteria with the advanced fi lter editor to extract company KPIs and managerial reports whenever needed.

For even more fl exibility and customisation, confi gur-able database fi elds allow the user to enter any additional key information, such as IP addresses, equipment confi guration or capacity to display, for example, bottlenecks in the network.

Reporting is based on industry standard formats such as Crystal Reports© and HTML. Data is impor-ted and exported via open source standards, such as XML.

Ease of Use

Multi-Database AccessThe user benefi ts from the multi-database access, which is fl exible, scalable and future-proof. Select your database, such as MS AccessTM, SQL / MySQL or Oracle© from a dropdown list and start planning immediately.

Intuitive GUIThe intuitive GUI leads the user naturally and step-by-step through the network planning process with less clicks. Through the self-evident and faster click sequence the network planning engineer is able to plan more rapidly.

• The GUI with data navigator, map window, map overview, database manager and display layers’ manager can be customised according to the user’s requirements.

• As in GoogleTM, the instant search function in text fi elds helps you to select information from a long data list faster - even before you fi nish typing the full text.

Better Map Handling and Visualisation• Overlay your maps through automatic fading

and visualise in real-time the exact overlay you want. Orient yourself easily on the map.

• Benefi t from better visualisation of inter-ference results: interferer path profi les are indicated on the map, as well as transmitter / receiver fi lters and antenna patterns

• Visualise the network in Google EarthTM
