DENVER, April 23, 2019 /CNW/ - In partnership with
Intermap Technologies, IgniteNet™ is developing an enhancement of
their LinqPath cloud-based network planning platform. The new tools
will provide operators with the ability to plan their RF
deployments down to 1m accuracy.
Incorporating powerful Intermap® elevation data for
improved link planning and viewshed analysis will allow LinqPath to
achieve the accuracy needed to meet the demands required for mmWave
network planning.
The telecommunications industry is evolving rapidly in the 5G
era and mmWave applications are growing. IgniteNet is an industry
leader in mmWave deployments, but these deployments are sensitive
to line-of-sight connections to ensure optimal customer experience.
The industry requires quick and accurate planning tools to support
the deployment of the mmWave networks that include terrain
information. The combination of IgniteNet's industry-leading mmWave
technology and enhanced LinqPath toolset with Intermap's industry
leading elevation data coverage and accompanying telecom analytics
provides a unique value position in the growing mmWave
industry.
With the new partnership, Intermap is supplying its web-based
telecommunications analytics suite that is directly integrated into
IgniteNet's application for a seamless customer experience. With
LinqPath, customers can estimate the throughput and maximum
distance of their MetroLinqTM 60-GHz radio links under
various weather conditions and at multiple link availability rates.
The high accuracy of Intermap's elevation data will provide
customers with accurate and reliable network modeling anywhere on
Earth.
MetroLinqTM is a next generation radio that offers a
variety of bandwidth options for applications including fixed
wireless access (5G), enterprise networks, wireless backhaul, and
security and surveillance. "With the addition of Intermap's link
profile and viewshed analysis to IgniteNet's industry-leading
mmWave deployment tools, users can better estimate the coverage and
availability of their network at any location in the world to
augment critical decisions on placement of new hardware," commented
Chad Dewey, VP of Product at
IgniteNet.
Intermap's telecommunications analytics are based on the
company's very successful NEXTMap® elevation terrain
dataset. Intermap has been steadily building its portfolio of
analytic solutions, including flood-risk mapping and
telecommunications link planning, to expand into broader markets.
According to Patrick Blott, Chairman
and CEO, "Millimeter wave frequency networks, formerly used
primarily for military communications, are affordable, fast, and
capable of delivering enormous amounts of high-quality data,
perfectly suited for next generation 5G and Wi-Fi environments.
Their line-of-site planning requirements are solved by Intermap's
new analytical tools and our global NEXTMap One elevation data. We
are excited to support IgniteNet - all over the world - with
powerful and reliable online analytics to accelerate network
planning and deployments."
