EDX said that it developed new features and capabilities to provide additional design advantages to its growing list of carrier customers and to compel greenfield and established operators to consider EDX SignalPro for their next planning tool.
According to the company, EDX SignalPro version 7.0 and all of the available modules will be available for shipment to customers from October 8, 2008.
EDX Wireless said that the highlights of SignalPro’s new version include: new WiMAX/LTE system set up features, including standard profile templates with settings for OFDMA frames, modulation types, cyclic prefix, permutation zone allocations, handoff thresholds, etc.; WiMAX-specific preamble code planning and neighbor list generation; new OFMDA-specific studies, including a probability of traffic demand.
The highlights also include: innovative network stochastic graphs that give a complete statistical illustration of expected signal strength versus interference conditions, helping engineers design for interference integrity for dynamic OFDMA systems; new propagation model methods that provide for an unlimited number of propagation model configurations for a single network design; additional customization for MIMO and smart antenna systems; additional use of land use/clutter databases; expanded controls for Google Earth exports, along with additional exportable layers and new, time-saving user interface controls, added EDX Wireless.
In August this year, EDX Wireless has added Cambridge Broadband Networks to its growing Vendor Partner Program. Cambridge Broadband Networks provides telecommunications operators with carrier-class packet microwave point-to-multipoint backhaul equipment. The company’s approach to backhaul means that its technology provides operators with compelling business case, reducing microwave backhaul equipment and operating costs by up to 50%.
