Aircom Wins Singapore WiMAX Radio Planning Contract
Aircom has announced that it has been selected by Singapore's SingTel to provide the cell planning tool for its Mobile WiMax network. Aircom will supply its ASSET tool to support SingTel’s existing GSM and UMTS network, together with a mobile WiMAX technology pack for radio planning.
“We are delighted to have extended our relationship with SingTel to support the integration of mobile WiMAX into its existing cellular infrastructure.” said Margaret Rice-Jones, CEO of Aircom International. “With an advanced voice and data service portfolio, it’s vital that SingTel has the tools in place to incorporate WiMAX into that system and manage network traffic effectively. We are confident that ASSET will provide all the necessary support to achieve those goals.”
The ASSET with WiMAX tool from Aircom enables the planning and management of both fixed and mobile WiMAX networks and is fully compliant with the 802.16e WiMAX standard. Operating in a multi-user environment, it can generate sophisticated reports and statistics on network performance and can also plan WiMAX in great detail, while looking after other network technologies such as GSM, UMTS and HSDPA.
In the coming months, Aircom will also provide on-the-job training to SingTel engineers, to ensure a seamless installation of the ASSET Mobile WiMax cell planning tools.
