Cambridge UK, November 2018: Ranplan Wireless has today announced a new partnership with Marubun to distribute the recently launched Ranplan Professional 5.2, the combined in-building and outdoor network planning tool for dense urban environments. The partnership will enable Japanese industry to plan and deploy 5G New Radio (NR) networks that can cope with the expected demand for data consumption and capacity.
“We are excited at partnering with Marubun who will be distributing our software into the Japanese marketplace. The partnership will enable us to support Japanese industry in planning and designing 5G networks that meet the expected rise in data consumption and capacity,” said Alastair Williamson, CEO at Ranplan. “In dense urban cities like Tokyo, significant capacity will be required to cope with predicted growth especially at peak times which may affect user experience.”
Japan is poised to become one of the first countries to leverage the next generation of wireless networks and roll out 5G. With the 2020 summer Olympics not far away, operators and equipment manufacturers need a tool to plan for increased data consumption and capacity requirements in dense urban environments such as Tokyo.
“Marubun is delighted to add Ranplan Professional 5G network planning tools to its portfolio of bespoke solutions. The transformation to 5G will bring many benefits to Japan’s economy over the following years and by deploying a tool such as Ranplan Professional to plan and design indoor and outdoor networks in coordination in highly dense areas will ensure users get better connectivity and quality of service,” said Masafumi Watanabe, Information & Communication Team at Marubun.
