HTZ communications
RADIO NETWORK PLANNING - ATDI
WHAT IS HTZ communications?
HTZ communications is ATDI’s flagship RF engineering software. This new edition of world leading RF design and spectrum engineering solution includes several grounbreaking features such as AUTOMATIC RADIO NETWORK PLANNING, GIS ENGINE WHICH ENABLES to CREATE HIGH RESOLUTION building information in raster from Digital Surface Model – DSM samples.
HTZ communications replaces ICS telecom EV.
HTZ communications is the ideal tool for PLANNING HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS NETWORKS.
HTZ communications is the solution of choice for designing spectrum-dependent communication systems such a Cellular Networks (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G), PMR, Broadband technologies, BROADCASTING, IoT, SATELLITE, RADARS, etc.
HTZ communications is continuously EVOLVING to enrich its features and to introduce support for emerging technologies.
HTZ communications can be deployed on standalone computers or in a NETWORK ENVIRONMENT with flexible licensing options.
PERFORMANCES OF HTZ communications
Automatic Coverage Calculation
The resource intensive process of repetitive and regular network studies is the thing of the past with HTZ communications. These processes can be fully automated and free up the valuable resources to perform other tasks and activities. The automation feature includes GIS data importation from generic GIS formats such as GeoTiff. This is of particular interest for operations where the environment is constantly changing such as those in Open mine environments where the terrain profile is changing on almost daily basis.
The automation engine automatically calculates coverage of individual sites, and then, produce composite coverage, and identify best servers, study overlaps, calculate C/N+I map in dB. For 4G and 5G networks, it also automatically calculates SINR and throughput maps.
For Microwave transmission networks, the automatic microwave path calculation engine sends an email notification if minimum clearance requirement is not met.
All the study results are exported in KMZ and TIF/TFW files and are delivered to a display system in the operations center.
