NETWORK DESIGN

Accelerate In-Building Network Delivery

Simplify and speed up the process of designing in-building cellular, public safety and Wi-Fi wireless networks with the Intelligent Topology Optimisation (ITO) module which automatically and efficiently optimises the physical topology of an in-building network.

Laptop-PRO-IFC
  • Create 3D building models in just minutes by importing IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) files from various BIM (Building Information Modelling) authoring software, such as Revit, Edificius, ArchiCAD, EdiLus®, SketchUp®, VectorWorks®, Rhino®, Tekla® and more.
  • Seamlessly import 3D IFC building models from the Metaroom® LiDAR scanning app. 
  • Automatically reconstruct 3D building models from imported 2D Auto CAD floorplans.
  • The Intelligent Floorplan Recognition (IFR) tool assists in modelling your environments from images or drawings when official floorplans are unavailable.

NETWORK PERFORMANCE

Validate Indoor Coverage Prior to Deployment

Ensure your in-building network designs will deliver reliable signal strength in times of emergency by using Ranplan’s 3D ray-tracing propagation engine to validate indoor coverage performance before physical deployment. This will save time and cost in subsequent upgrades.

  • True 3D ray-tracing propagation engine for predicting wireless coverage inside indoor environments before physical deployment.
  • Visualise the indoor wireless coverage on 3D heatmaps to quickly identify not-spots.
  • Define candidate and target region Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as signal, throughput and leakage.
  • Supports designs for passive DAS, small cells and Wi-Fi networks.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t find the answer you are looking for below? Visit our full library of FAQs for more information or get in touch if you still need help.

Can I create custom report templates within Ranplan Products and if so how?

Yes, users can create their own custom layouts for reports within Ranplan Products. For detailed information on how to do this please refer to the user documentation for the relevant software package.

Where/how can I access the download package for the latest versions of Ranplan?

The latest versions of Ranplan Professional, DAS and Tablet can be downloaded from the ‘Downloads’ section of your account on the GLS end user portal. Please note that you will only have access to the install packages for which you have license keys.

How accurate is the default propagation model used in Ranplan?

Under general circumstances the 3D ray-tracing model is accurate to within 6dB RMS error of the measured scenario and this has been independently verified.

How does ‘CAD Import’ in Ranplan differ from the current functionality offered by other suppliers?

The Smart Extract tool within Ranplan takes a much more visual approach to identifying walls, doors, windows, columns and inclined planes with no need to interact with the many layers in the CAD file.

What type of algorithm is used in the optimization modules and what does that mean for me as a user?

The optimization modules (ICO, IAO and IFO) all use heuristic algorithms to determine the results they provide. This means that the optimization modules will attempt to provide the best outcome based upon the restrictions or parameters provided by you, the user.
