IWS provides complete network design services for all major wireless technologies. Building on detailed analysis and planning, we apply our unique expertise in technology, network architecture, and implementation to ensure that each network meets the client’s requirements for functionality, performance, and reliability. IWS provides a complete range of Radio Frequency (RF) and Fixed Network (FN) engineering services. We have worked with all the major wireless technologies – GSM, CDMA, and our radio frequency engineers are experienced in all state-of-the-art software and hardware tools used in the design, planning and optimization of these networks.

1. GREEN FIELD & OVERLAY NETWORKS

These services are necessary for the deployment of new and expanding networks, and also to the implementation of technology and/or frequency overlays:

 RF Engineering

» Preliminary RF Design through model tuning and CW drive testing
» Search ring release and candidate evaluation through site survey team visits   and CW drive testing
» Capacity planning, coverage design to include “hot-spots” and in-building coverage
» Final RF Design with PN/frequency planning
» Site development support including compliances
» RF site integration through single site functionality testing (Sector testing)
» RF optimization through cluster testing and system (ATP) testing

FNE Engineering

» Fixed Network design, analysis and database preparation
» Network configuration and switch interconnect requirement identification
» Fixed network capacity and bandwidth analysis
» Topography and network architecture design, including core network design
» Optimal hub and switch location identification based on budgetary cost analysis
» Microwave design, installation, commissioning and optimization
» IP Planning and implementation

2. EXISTING NETWORKS

While many of the above mentioned services are also provided for existing networks, many additional services add to our ability to optimize the performance of existing networks:

RF Engineering

» RF design evaluation through observed capacity and coverage demands on the system
» RF site and RF database audits
» Identification of in-building coverage/capacity requirements
» Evaluating and revising frequency plan to enhance performance and system capacity
» Key Performance Indicator (KPI) monitoring on a sector, site, cluster, BSC and MSC basis to identify “hot-spots” and trouble areas
