AIRCOM International's CONNECT is a state-of-the-art tool for microwave and backhaul planning.
A multi-vendor planning tool, CONNECT can rapidly plan and optimise anything from single links to national networks, for end-to-end engineering and design. CONNECT fully supports backhaul for multiple technologies – 2G, 3G, CDMA 1x to LTE evolution or WiMAX, all fully integrated within the ENTERPRISE platform.
Planning accurately first time and in the early stages of network roll-out maximises ROI and enhances business value. Constantly evolving technology and traffic demands, tempered with economic changes are forcing increased interaction between RF and transmission teams. Operators around the world today use CONNECT for efficient planning as well as operational tasks, reducing the TCO of planning software by up to 50%. By automatically planning an optimal backhaul network, OPEX is reduced (by up to 40%) and planning time is minimised.
