The Power of Planning
Based on capacity reports generated foreach sector, EDX SignalPro offers anarea study that displays the probability of
achieving traffic demand at each point inyour study grid.
Additionally, a received signal versusinterference distribution profile isgenerated that shows you how manystudy points are interfering at each signallevel.
This graph shows you how many of theexpected grid points are experiencinghigh interference conditions so that youcan model multiple iterations, resulting ina network designed with interferenceintegrity.
