IBR Predict: Plan Before You Deploy
Backhaul network capacity planning increases in complexity as mobile networks scale for greater capacity in more locales. With highly accurate prediction capability across both LOS and NLOS conditions, IBR Predict provides an integrated capacity planning capability suited to today’s most pressing LTE backhaul network design needs.
IBR predict analyzes signal strength to aid in determination of optimal cell site locations to achieve desired coverage.
Advanced 3D Network Planning and Prediction Tool
To ensure accurate predictions of IBR deployments, Fastback Networks provides IBR Predict, the fast, simple and reliable cloud-based network planning tool for LTE backhaul network design. IBR Predict quickly and accurately predicts backhaul radio performance across Any Line of Sight, including LOS, near LOS, and complete NLOS. The combination of simplicity, speed and accuracy enables mobile network operators to:
- Accelerate time-to-design and time-to-deployment
- Accurately predict and select the right locations for backhaul
- Achieve highest throughput and link reliability
IBR Predict accurately predicts throughput by computing individual ray paths of the planned radio link, and provides fly through visualization of the radio path.
Predict Any Line of Sight Performance with Confidence
IBR Predict delivers maximum accuracy for LOS, NLOS and nLOS path prediction, leveraging 3D GIS data and Siradel Volcano, the market leading 3D path prediction algorithm widely used for dense urban environment RAN planning. Users are able to perform sophisticated and comprehensive backhaul link analysis is just seconds, analyzing azimuth and elevation components, horizontal and vertical polarization, self-interference, and third-party interference to predict IBR radio paths.
Purpose-build cloud software for LTE Network Optimization
IBR Predict is easy to use, and produces rapid results with easily understood insights and predictions. Users access the full predictive power of the cloud-based software via the Fastback portal, with convenient single screen log-in and around-the-clock availability. And because IBR Predict is cloud-based, network operators are able to scale its use across any number of designers/planners, and are not tied to any specific hardware.
Predictions can be implemented in three easy steps:
1) Place each end of the link
2) Calculate estimated throughput
3) Optimize for highest capacity and link reliability
