Mit dem ATDI-System ICS Telecom können Techniker Funkkommunikationsnetze effizienter und umfassender modellieren als je zuvor. Die Entwicklung bestehender Netze kann effizienter verwaltet werden. Gegenwärtige Kunden sollten sich das Dokument (unten) ansehen, das eine Übersicht über verfügbare Upgrades und Erweiterungen bietet.

ICS Telecom

ATDI commenced development of ICS Telecom in 1992. The product has been evolved through several changes in computer platform technology and several PC operating systems. The result is a software application that makes the very best use of computer resources while providing the user with superlative speed of operation. ATDI’s commitment to future product development is absolute, providing all our customers with a truly up-to-date modelling, planning and analysis solution.

ICS Telecom is a radio network planning tool capable of modelling any size of radio system from intensive local area to extensive countrywide networks. It has application in all modern system types in the frequency range 30MHz to 60GHz (expandible down to 68kHz and up to over 100GHz). The functionality chart attached (accessible below) clearly illustrates this.
ICS Telecom can be used in the planning and optimisation of just about every analogue and digital equipment using the radio spectrum including:

• Aeronautical systems
• Broadcast TV and radio
• Cellular, including GSM & 3G
• Fixed radio access/WiMAX
• LAN/WAN
• Land mobile
• Marine systems
• Microwave bearer
• Mobile data
• Paging
• Radar
• Satellite
• Telemetry

ICS Telecom gives the confidence that a path between users will be available when needed and permits resources to be estimated such that the network traffic can be supported. The tool covers all aspects of connectivity, traffic, frequency planning and interference modelling.

ICS Telecom allows spectrum to be allocated to these resources such that the service can be maintained despite the need for frequency sharing in a congested world.
ICS Telecom provides benefit at all stages of network ownership including tasks such as: -

• Technology evaluation
• Business modelling
• Infrastructure dimensioning
• Network planning
• Spectrum management
• Network proving
• Engineering data sharing
• System administration
• Network optimisation
• Service marketing

ICS Telecom increases efficiency, reduces costs and mitigates commercial and engineering risk. When combined with expert training, ICS Telecom users can reap these benefits and produce meaningful results soon after installation.

ICS Telecom can be purchased outright by paying a once-only fee for a perpetuity licence or by purchasing an annual licence.  Alternatively the tool can be rented on a monthly basis.  Support is provided by engineers who are active in radiocommunications consultancy.

Currently Version 8 of the tool is released for sale.  Past versions are available for a reduced licence fee.

Documents below show ICS Telecom's screen and some functionality.  There is also a viewlet (requiring download of a zip file) that can be run in html that shows how to perform coverage plots for a GSM or other mobile network.

A demo disc is available.  Contact us by telephone or email for your copy.  This demo disc contains a wealth of documentation on network planning.
