CONNECT

CONNECT is a feature-rich microwave PtP and PMP backhaul planning tool.

CONNECT provides you with all the functionality and planning software necessary to ensure that your network design meets your planning guidelines. The tool is based around the ITU 530 standards with additional support for the Crane and Vigants rain models as well as providing availability calculations based on the ITU 821 and ITU 826 standards.

Key features of the CONNECT Microwave Planning software are:

• An integrated, single server platform which allows data integrity between RF and Transmission planning departments.
• Multi-user database with no issues on scalability or number of users
• Support of mapping data, building rastors, vectors and even photographs
• Reliability calculations based on the ITU 530 standards
• Availability calculations based on ITU 821 and ITU 826 standards
• Rain models from the ITU, Crane and Vigants
• Wizards that provide easy to use planning functionality for interference analysis and recommended optimal alternate frequency, LOS analysis which indicates routes between properties and creating links automatically, high/low conflict report and chain analysis which gives overall performance and availability of multiple hops
• Height profile that enables the user to see LOS and Fresnel zone clearances, generate clearance reports and creates User Defined Profiles based on data provided
• Multiple link templates based on link range settings as well as general templates which can be used to do link configurations automatically.
