Mobile Service

The increase in traffic volumes and service diversity associated with mobile technologies has led to larger and more complex networks. To ensure high-quality service for users, mobile service providers require reliable network design tools.

CHIRplus_TC offers planning and optimization functionalities for various radio services, including TETRA, P.25, DMR, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and more.

CHIRplus_TC's area calculations determine the coverage of base stations or single-sector antennas. The network processor analyzes the performance of the entire network by combining calculation results. Population analysis helps identify coverage gaps, especially for safety-critical networks like TETRA. Measurement data can be imported to validate calculation accuracy and fine-tune simulations.

The tool offers powerful analysis methods to identify and eliminate interference, based on configurable wave propagation models and thresholds. It produces reliable results that can be documented in detailed reports. CHIRplus_TC also identifies potential conflicts and ensures interference-free channel allocation. The tool's channel assignment procedure analyzes all channels of the frequency plans, making it easy to select a suitable channel.

Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0

The impact of the IoT and Industry 4.0 on our personal and professional lives is expected to be significant, with a projected surge in the number of connected devices. These devices range from weather sensors, parking sensors, and automatic plant watering systems to connected streetlamps, mousetraps, garbage bins, soap dispensers, and more. As most of these devices operate wirelessly, there is an increased demand for spectrum and connectivity. The proliferation of connected sensors and devices is not the only thing on the rise. There is also a growing array of communication protocols and standards, including LoRa, Sigfox, NB-IOT, and others.

The IoT planning tool CHIRplus_TC simplifies the management of complex IoT networks.

To help cope with this complexity, CHIRplus_TC offers dedicated coverage analysis to ensure that IoT devices have adequate connection and bandwidth for their respective applications. The software features a flexible data editor that can accommodate virtually all IoT devices and antennas, as well as the relevant frequency plans for IoT communications. CHIRplus_TC also analyzes specific parameters, such as LoRa spreading factors, and presents them in a graphical format for easy interpretation of network and connection performance. For the verification and validation of coverage predictions, measurement data can be imported and compared with the simulations.
