AW3D Telecom

Advanced 3D bundle product for wireless
network planning and simulation

Our Mission

One time. On time. In time.
The Telco Suite is designed to help you prepare for your industry’s rapid changes.

The demands on wireless networks are accelerating exponentially with more connected devices, high resolution contents and new services. The requirements to improve capacity, latency and coverage has led to network densification, where cell sites are added to handle these increasing loads. The AW3D Telecom is a cost-effective, next-generation 3D bundle that helps you design your wireless networks for optimal performance.

Benefits

AW3D Telecom provides the benefits for the Radio Area Network (RAN) design and optimization with the Radio Frequency (RF) planning software used in the mobile network operators and communication service providers.

Best-in-class high quality

  • High quality for both 5G/LTE small cells in urban environment and wide area nominal design in suburban and rural environment
  • Detail objects including buildings, vegetation, and bridges are captured using artificial intelligence (AI) technology for image processing

AW3D Telecom RF simulation for 5G service

Data compatibility

  • Most comprehensive and cost-effective product for industry standard RF planning and simulation software including Atoll (Forsk), Planet (InfoVista), ASSET (TEOCO), and more.
  • It can be used for the network design software for simulation mobile network operators, network integrators, backhaul providers, tower operators, and others.

Adopted by the world’s leading mobile carriers

  • AW3D Telecom is essential for mobile network operators and equipment vendors looking to optimize their RF simulation and wireless network design and planning.

AW3D Telecom

Advanced 3D digital map package for 5G compatible with global standard wireless network design software used for radio frequency (RF) simulation.

3D Vector

These dataset are developed from high accurate building footprint and elevation model. 3D vegetation and bridge can be offered as well

DLU(clutter)

Land-use classification map for analysis of radio propagation and deviation

DHM(clutter height)

Height model expresses the height of the buildings vegetation, and others from the ground. Its is also referred as “2.5D model”.

DTM

Bare-earth 3D elevation model in raster format, height of buildings, vegetation, bridges are extracted from digital surface model.

Base Map (optional)

A high-resolution orthorectified imagery for base map to display AW3D Telecom for 5G dataset.

Vodafone uses 3D mapping data to
help locate new 5G towers

Vodafone is focused on building a digital society for the
future and is using its 5G core in the UK to make this happen.

“Using AW3D satellite map data supplied by NTT DATA, we were able to model the performance of the 5g network and the impact of the environment including; buildings, bridges and vegetation. We achieved this by modelling the entire country in 3D to assist, for example, we were able to understand where to optimize the network and place new 5G towers.”
