RF PLANNING FOR OPEN RAN NETWORKS
How to ensure successful Open RAN planning
There are several key capabilities an RF planning tool needs to ensure the successful planning of an Open RAN network.
Accuracy The goal of an RF planning tool is to create a digital twin of the planned network to simulate the performance of the network to be built. This gives the planning engineer an opportunity to ensure the network will meet the defined technical and business requirements, and to analyze various what-if traffic scenarios.
How can Planet help?
Planet has many features to ensure it delivers highly accurate network plans. These include native support for 3D planning to accurately model traffic above ground level in buildings. High-resolution digital maps with 3D buildings and vegetation and Planet AIM, our extremely accurate 3D AI-driven propagation model with ray-launching.
Automation
How can Planet help?
Planning an RF network is time consuming and complex with millions of potential configuration options to consider. Automation is not only crucial for offloading repetitive network design tasks so engineers can focus on the higher value strategic tasks, but it is also an extremely efficient way to trial millions of cell site configuration options is a very short space of time to arrive at the optimal solution.
Planet delivers efficiency by automating repetitive network design tasks, freeing up engineers to focus on higher value items and by leveraging AI to automate network design workflows, effectively managing network complexity and helping engineers maximize overall network ROI.
