ICS telecom nG integrates easily with
an existing environment, whatever its
size or structure, in local mode or within
a corporate network.
ICS manager nG
ICS manager nG is a software platform
dedicated to advanced RF spectrum
management. Initially targeted at
regulators, its flexibility and ease of use
is of great value to operators as well.
The ICS manager nG platform is based
on the guidelines of recommendation
ITU-R. SM.1370. It offers :
• a safe database system
environment ;

ATDI product range
ICS microwave
ICS microwave features a
complete software dedicated
to microwave planning, well
integrated with the whole
ATDI software suite. For
example, ICS microwave
can automatically link BTS
stations together to suggest
a backbone network.
Microwave backbone networks are easy to manage
thanks to advanced yet easyto-use dedicated functions,
and the database structure
specific to microwave links.
Features such as automatic
frequency assignment, automatic antenna alignment,
automatic antenna height
setting to meet clearance
parameters, link budget
analysis, and interference
calculations are all standard
features of the software.
For each link, the user can
open a microwave link analysis window, and analyse the
technical characteristics of
the link:
Availability, quality, margin,
losses (diffraction, gases,
rain...), RSL...
ICS map server
ICS map server is an
advanced software system
designed to create and
manage digital cartography
datasets. Operators working
on very sizeable networks or
those who are present over
very large territories need
large amounts of cartographic
data. ICS map server is a
software designed to create
topographic data files via the
processing of land contours,
interpolations, maps, aerial
and satellite views, conversions, etc.
The latest release of ICS
map server integrates a
large number of new functionalities that make it one of
the most powerful systems
for cartographic database
management. In particular
it integrates the automation
of the project creation process, making it possible to
immediately display the data
available for any region, etc.
Suitable for all image processing work and digital terrain model files (DTM) it can
interface with image processing tools as well as with
market-available geographic
information system software
(GIS).
Antios
Antios is a 3D software
system for the design of
antennas and antenna systems. The increasing occupation of radio frequencies
requires
new
antenna
designs capable of meeting both frequency allocation plans and the coverage
requirements of each operator. Mobile communications
and broadcasting networks
must satisfy complex constraints designed to reduce
or eliminate possible interference. Modeling such a complex problem was solved with
Antios software. This highly
innovative product enables
engineers to design systems using multiple horizontal or vertical dipole arrays
arranged around the support. A 3D diagram enables
definition of the positions of
antenna components and
the necessary phase shifts to
obtain the requisite propagation result.
HerTZ mapper
HerTZ mapper is a simplified software system for radio
coverage analysis. This product, which is immensely popular with broadcasters, has
undergone numerous recent
technological upgrades, in
particular in terms of performance, user-friendliness and
ergonomics. These changes
confirm that HerTZ mapper
is the ideal tool for light radio
network analysis and simulation.
Finally, HerTZ mapper can be
connected to a GPS system,
thereby enabling field teams
to carry out customer site
surveys, and then repatriate
the data to ICS telecom nG
for further analysis. A demo
version of HerTZ mapper is
available at:
www.atdi.com
ICS online provides networks on the net - www.atdi.com/icsonline.php
The recently introduced ICS online represents a powerful and yet simple internet / intranet gate to your
network data, and a link between the network design
team and the marketing department, the sales force,
the customer center and the installation and main-
tenance services. ICS online is entirely designed to
answer typical questions such as:
- Where should we market the service?
- Can a particular prospect be connected?
- Can I subscribe to your service?
- What are the installation instructions for this new
client?
- I cannot use the service today, is there a problem
with your network?
Built using the latest Rich Internet Application technologies, ICS online provides everyone in your organization
with an up-to-date, intuitive and flexible map interface
gathering all the relevant network information:
- mapping data — handles multiple scales,
- service coverage: handles multiple services,
- geomarketing data (companies/clients, addresses
and corresponding geographic coordinates),
- network constituents (base stations, links...),
- technical notes (for installation, maintenance...),
- real-time network status (failures, maintenance
status...).
