ENTERPRISE ASSET V7.0

Features Overview

WHAT’S NEW


Title

Contents• LTE Support• Carried Traffic Analysis• Interference Table Functionalities• Antenna Instance IDs• Extended Character Support• What’s New in Enterprise 7.0

Google Earth Support Licensing Configurations and Permissions

• Improved Help/User Guide


Title

Overview• ASSET 7.0 provides complete planning/dimensioning capabilities for LTE, and

these capabilities are highly flexible to meet the varying requirements and demands of different network operators and vendors.

• ASSET provides a flexible approach to planning and analyzing different service types by using a combination of service types, terminal types and terminal density arrays. The static simulation provides a wide range of output arrays and reports.

Technologies supported include:

GSM, GPRS/EDGE, AMPS, TDMA, TACS, PCS, PMR/TETRA/iDEN, UMTS, Joint GSM-UMTS, CDMA2000, EV-DO, DVB-H, Fixed WiMAX, Mobile WiMAX and LTE.


Title

CARRIED TRAFFIC ANALYSIS• The Carried Traffic Analysis in ASSET

7.0 enables the quick identification of potential transmission network bottlenecks.

• When you have run a simulation, you can write the calculated traffic values to the cells in the Site Database (you can also manually add or edit it these values).

• This information will enable you to: Analyse the network throughput, both on the

cells and the parent network elements Identify network bottlenecks Integrate this traffic information with the

CONNECT tool for the purposes of route planning and link capacity.


Title

INTERFERENCE TABLE FUNCTIONALITIES

• In ASSET 7.0, the Interference Table functionality has been extended to support more technologies. It now supports:

GSM (or AMPS) LTE Mobile WiMAX


Title

INTERFERENCE TABLE FUNCTIONALITIES

• Limit the cells in the report window, by using the Filter drop-down list. • Search for a specific victim cell in the left pane, by using the Find button.• View the interferers for any of the victim cells by selecting the appropriate victim cell.• Re-sequence any of the columns in the left pane or the right pane, by clicking the

appropriate column header. For example, you can sort the list of interfering cells to find which cells might be causing the greatest potential problems to the victim cell.

• Specify the decimal place precision that you require (this influences the right pane only).• Customize the column details in the right pane.• Generate a report by clicking the Report button. This report will reflect your customised

columns and decimal precision.• Interact with the Map View, helping you to visualise specific cells. This is described in

the following sections.• Interact with the Site Database, helping you to check a specific cell's network

parameters


Title

EXAMPLE


Title

ANTENNA INSTANCE IDs• ASSET 7.0 now enables you to specify an Instance ID. This is

optional, and you can use it to uniquely identify each antenna instance in the network


Title

EXTENDED CHARACTER SUPPORT


Title

GOOGLE EARTH SUPPORT• ASSET 7.0 now includes KML as one of the standard GIS

export formats. This means it is now possible to export map information from ASSET which can then be displayed in Google Earth.

• Link your ENTERPRISE Map View with Google Earth, so that when you pan or zoom on the map, Google Earth opens, shows the same view, and reflects any panning and zooming performed.

GOOGLE EARTH SUPPORT

GOOGLE EARTH SUPPORT


Title

LICENSING CONFIGURATIONS AND PERMISSIONS

• System administrators can control the distribution of licences to users via the Licence Administration tabs in the Group Properties and User Properties dialog boxes in ENTERPRISE Administrator.

• As an ENTERPRISE user, you can use the Licence Administrator to: Get licences Drop licences Check out (commute) licences for usage remote from the network server, based on

a specified number of days Edit the Startup option to determine your default licence configuration


Title

IMPROVED HELP/USER GUIDE• ASSET User Reference Guide for 7.0 has been restructured to segregate the

majority of the technology-specific content into separate chapters, to make the documentation of the product easier for customers to access and read.


Title

Version History

• A History tab has been added to many of the ENTERPRISE dialog boxes and to the Site Database window. If you have the necessary license you can use this tab to:

• See what changes have been made to objects in your network• Roll back the state of an object to an earlier version


Title

Classification of Vectors

• You can now use the Vector Manager to divide your user vectors into different classes.


Title

Quick Finder

• The new Quick finder dialog box gives you a single tool with which to search the Map View window for such items as a location, a Property, a link, or a piece of text.


Title

Usability Enhancements

• Choosing which Tabs are Displayed in the Site Database• Creating Workspaces


Title

Site Region Load: Easy Setup

• In ENTERPRISE 6.2, there is a new and easy way to set up a site region load, with the significant benefit that you can visualize your sites/nodes in the normal 'open project‘ Map View while creating the polygon.


Title

Administrator Interface Enhancements

• Customization• Last Logged In• Filters Last Used• Multi-Selection• Session Killer• Column Sorting• Message Log


Title

BCCH Allocation Prerequisite for TCH

• ASSET provides an option to activate this 'BCCH prerequisite rule' in your project. This option can be set (depending on user permissions) on the General tab of the Preferences dialog box, under the File menu.

• Allocating/De-allocating Carrier Layers on the Carriers tab

• Allocating/De-allocating Carriers on the Carriers tab

The monitoring only operates on manual changes in the Site Database (at the sub-cell level).


Title

Pixel Analyzer Enhancements• In 6.2, you can now analyze 2g Non-Sim, Clutter, Height and Traffic arrays in a

similar way. Here is the updated list of arrays that can be analyzed:• Simulator arrays, or Signal Coverage arrays• 2g Non-Sim arrays• Clutter and Heights map data• Traffic arrays• Clipboard arrays


Title

Compound Array Generator

• In 6.2, you can now use Clutter, Height and Traffic arrays as inputs. Here is the updated list of arrays that can be used as inputs:

• Simulator arrays, or Signal Coverage arrays• 2g Non-Sim arrays• Clipboard arrays• Clutter• Heights• Traffic


Title

Project Defaults• In ASSET 6.2, in order to make a new project easy to use right from the start,

the following default objects, with pre-set parameters, are provided:• Antenna default• Propagation model defaults (450, 900, 1800 and 2100MHz)• Template defaults (for each technology)• Terminal type default (for each technology)


Title

Statistics Report Enhancements• The report sections (that is, the rows) can now show area statistics broken

down by: • Specific vectors • Specific features (such as lines, polygons, roads) within a vector


Title

Multiple Technology Support

• In previous versions UMTS FDD, Fixed WiMAX and Mobile WiMAX could not be used in the same project.


Title

Financial Analysis Module• Ability to analyse business parameters such as Captured

Revenue (additional or total), Net Income and Return on Investment using multiple sources as input, that is, revenue maps or service specific ARPU.

• Ability to perform what if scenarios quickly and compare different plans based on their business value

• Ability to plan the roll out of the new network elements in order to maximise the financial return.


Title

Web Enabled Data: Google Maps


Title

Interactive Frequency Analysis• Existing frequency plans can be analysed, visualised and modified using a

powerful interactive frequency analysis tool which calculates and reports the co-frequency allocation cost for different cells using multiple user defined criteria

• Interference costs (area or traffic)• Carrier separation violations


Title

Neighbour Planner: Measurement Data• Therefore, in ASSET version 6.2, you can now generate a neighbour plan that

is based on Measurements.

• This is achieved by enabling the import of the appropriate measurement data files into the Measurements Toolbox.


Title

Third party Interference Tables Support

• User can now load 3rd party interference tables such as ICDM (Inter-Cell Dependency Matrix) into ASSET.

• Ability to load into an empty interference table or combine with an existing one.

• Smart algorithm to handle auto-scaling between existing and loaded interference tables.

• Auto-association of entries with missing cell information

• SDK to extend support of other formats.
