PLANNING POINT-MULTIPOINT SYSTEMS WITH CELPLANNER

Target Audience
Engineers and technicians working with RF planning for point-multipoint networks: WLL,, LMDS, MMDS.

Pre-requirements
Basic knowledge of RF propagation and communication systems. Because
CelPlanner™ works on PC platform, we recommend that students have previous knowledge of Windows systems and Excel spreadsheets.

Goals
Learn and use all features of
CelPlanner™ to design point-multipoint systems.

Course Syllabus
The presentation of each menu is preceded by a theoretical explanation. The project developed in the course encompasses the following topics:

  • Creation of antennas and radios database for the selected frequency band;
  • Preparation of antennas, topography, morphology, and image databases;
  • Generation of fixed subscribers database, defining location, type, and Tx/Rx antenna heights. Configuration of radios and traffic demand for voice and data (upstream and downstream);
  • Creation of vector elements to determine service area contour;
  • Creation of region files;
  • Creation of hexagons grid and automatic distribution of RBSs across the target area;
  • Project management using phases, areas, and flags;
  • Definition of propagation characteristics: prediction models calibration;
  • Generation and analysis of plots with distribution of fixed subscribers;
  • Signal level prediction analysis for fixed subscribers;
  • Traffic analysis for base stations;
  • Interconnection between sites using microwave links;
  • Performance analysis and report generation for microwave network;
  • Import and export of MapInfo files;
  • Presentation of the project in text format.

Length

  • 4 days (28 hours)
