As networks expand and traffic grows and moves, network designs need constant tweaking to ensure continued high performance. It’s a time-consuming and complex process for engineers to regularly re-plan every site to meet changing customer demands. An automated approach is well suited for testing the millions of configuration possibilities, and has proven to provide solutions that perform 20% to 30% better than those done by an engineer.
Additionally, when adding a new network technology, knowing where to deploy the first sites and in what order to expand to maximize return on investment is a lengthy and difficult problem.
CAPESSO is a multi-technology, automatic cell planning tool. It leverages demand predictions, along with drive test and geo-location data, to ensure the richest data source is used for optimization at each stage of the network lifecycle, helping to ensure the best results.
CAPESSO combines radio network information with planning objectives, like coverage, capacity and quality, to automatically find the best network design.
CAPESSO complements existing planning and propagation software and tightly integrates with all leading commercial radio network planning tools.
PERIODICALLY OPTIMIZE YOUR MULTI-TECHNOLOGY NETWORK PLAN
Today’s complex networks, with their multiple technologies, multiple bands and multi-function equipment, mean the options for design optimization are endless.
CAPESSO’s automated, multi-technology support and its ability to optimize multiple technology layers to meet a single set of network criteria are critical for networks with more than one technology layer.
SEAMLESSLY ADD A NEW TECHNOLOGY LAYER
When adding a new technology to an existing network, CAPESSO is able to consider technical (coverage, capacity and quality) objectives as well as budgetary constraints to determine the best design that meets your objectives, maximizing return on investment.
CAPESSO identifies not only which sites to add a new technology, such as LTE, to maximize return on investment, but can also prioritize when the sites should be built.
