RF Propagation Modeling

Predictions and Simulations for Efficient Network Design

Overview

Remove the Guesswork from RAN Planning with Calibrated Propagation Models

There's no guesswork in what we do. NETSCOUT enables network planners and RF network design engineers to base decisions on science fact, not fiction. Drawing insights from continuous wave-based measurements and actual subscriber traffic, our RF Propagation Model Calibration programs utilize an ever-expanding library of tuned models for more efficient network design.

Features

High Quality Data

Experience with more than 30,000 Continuous Wave (CW) measurements during a 20-year history, NETSCOUT has established and perfected a proprietary process to deliver the highest quality models to our customers.

This process is further strengthened with an extensive off-the-shelf library of data uniquely designed to minimize planning complexity and accelerate delivery of customized RF Engineering models.

Mitigation of Data Biases

NETSCOUT’s Dynamic Range Compensation (DRC) Techniques remove the risks associated with the overestimation of cell edge.

Without DRC, calibrated models lead to inaccurate simulations and incorrect and costly decisions during design and optimization.

Unmatched Expertise

NETSCOUT’s RF engineers are Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are solely focused on model calibration techniques and the changing needs of RAN planning and optimization teams.

The RF Engineering Services team performs at unmatched scale to develop 1000s of models each year with intimate knowledge of the common and uncommon pitfalls of the process.

Vendor Agnostic

RF model calibration techniques work with existing planning tools and processes.

The ease of model integration and turn-key use ensures the best solution for the customer, independent of downstream planning tools with an attractive total cost of ownership (TCO).
