ASSET has been engineered to facilitate the most demanding needs of today and tomorrow’s multi-vendor, multi-technology and multi-operator mobile networks. Its advanced network design capabilities save both time and money during network deployment by automating time consuming tasks such as site configuration, traffic planning, network analysis, network dimensioning and parameter planning.

Radio planning is no longer a standalone business activity, a planning tool needs to connect to the wider OSS/BSS eco-system; ASSET allows seamless and reliable integration to systems such as inventory, site acquisition, site rollout, configuration management, performance management, and others. This sharing of data provides significant improvements in planning accuracy and drives greater business process efficiency.

Multi-technology support

• Plan and optimise networks spanning multiple technologies in a single, multi-user, project environment
• Support for GSM, UMTS and LTE (both FDD and TDD) as well as GPRS/EDGE, AMPS, TDMA, TACS, PCS, PMR/TETRA/iDEN, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, CDMA2000, EV-DO, DVB-H, Fixed WiMAX and Mobile WiMAX

Multi-user access and security

• The ASSET database can bes hared across multiple users and multiple sites, with a current view of the network always available, without manual synchronisation
• Excellent security provides a true multi-user environment for large scale corporate deployments and network sharing projects. Privileges may be specified to manage individual and group access at multiple levels within the tool.

GIS - Map view

• At the heart of ASSET is a GIS designed specifically with the radio network planner in mind.

Propagation modelling

• Included with ASSET are a number of empirical and deterministic propagation models as well as the option to add 3rd party models from providers such as Siradel, Wavecall and AWE Communications.

Traffic modelling

• Traffic modelling with ASSET allows traffic forecasting and capacity analysis as well as the modelling of new services prior to implementation. Running ‘What if?’ scenarios ensures the best design is deployed.

Neighbour planning

• ASSET features the most powerful neighbour planner on the market. Neighbour relations between cells including IRAT handovers can be planned and analysed.

Measurement toolbox

• Network measurements from multiple sources such as drive tests, carrier wave measurements and mobile measurement reports can be imported into ASSET to tune propagation models and enhance neighbour planning.

Integration

• A modern approach to integration based on SOA compliant web services endows ASSET with the ability to easily integrate into large scale multi-application environments.

Proven performance

• The largest planning tool market share; over 300 customers in 145 countries trust ASSET for their radio network planning needs

True multi-user, multi-technology system

• ASSET provides a true multi-user system. The database can be shared across multiple users and multiple sites, with a current view of the network always available
• Teams can also collaborate on a planning exercise before sharing it with the wider group
• Excellent security provides a true multi-user environment for large scale corporate deployments and network sharing projects. Privileges may be specified to manage individual and group access at multiple levels within the tool
• Plan and optimise networks spanning multiple technologies in a single project environment

Seamless integration with the OSS/BSS eco-system

• A modern approach to integration based on SOA compliant web services endows ASSET with the ability to easily integrate into large scale multi-application environments.

Continuously evolving

• With Small Cell network and Wi-Fi offload planning functionality already available you can be sure ASSET will continue to evolve to meet your changing planning needs
