CHIRplus_FX
Wireless service providers today see their transmission network as a strategic asset which determines overall operational performance and protability. The rapid growth in trafc volumes and service diversity associated with 3G and 4G mobile technology directly affects the size and complexity of the backhaul network. The huge demand placed on transmission networks requires a backhaul infrastructure which is scalable, robust and cost-effective to install, operate and manage. To address these challenges, transmission planning engineers need exible, resilient and easy-to-use software based on well-established engineering procedures and algorithms: CHIRplus_FX is an advanced network planning, design & optimisation software for well-engineered and economically optimised wireless backhaul solutions. CHIRplus_FX supports the end-to-end engineering of backhaul networks including site selection, line-of-sight (LOS) analysis, detailed link engineering, channel assignment, coordination & interference analysis, as well as automated generation of licence applications and bills of material (BoM). CHIRplus_FX, based on many years of expert engineering knowledge and customer experience, is the most modern software solution in terms of architecture, technology and ease of use. Key to fast and cost-effective microwave link planning is operational efciency. Transmission engineers want to concentrate on their planning job and need software which is highly convenient to use. CHIRplus_FX is second to none when it comes to software usability, database access and database analytics.

Key Advantages and Benefits of CHIRplus _FX

Highly Modern Engineering
The highly modern and interactive engineering desktop based on synchronous databinding displays the result of a parameter change in one window in real-time in the adjacent window: Change i.e. a value in a data eld and immediately see your Link Budget changed accordingly (without specic saving of the parameter entered) Process optimisation is reached through automation of numerous steps in the engineering processes. CHIRplus_FX includes adaptive modulation for evaluation and selection of latest network technologies, enabling higher throughputs and better spectral efciency to attain optimal quality and availability objectives in all weather conditions.

CHIRplus_FX: Channel Assignment Results

State-of-the-Art Technology
Complex calculations are based on multithreading which reduces calculation time considerably. CHIRplus_FX is based on .NET and incorporates highly modern technologies. Innovative features and functionality are therefore added in no time at all. More exibility is offered through Cloud Computing: accessible via the Internet, CHIRplus_FX can be used literally anywhere; in the ofce, at home, in the eld during a site visit or at a conference venue.

Database Analytics
CHIRplus_FX includes superior import & export, report and statistics functionality. Customisable query forms enable the user to sort, lter and search any kind of information needed for regular reporting and the tracking of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Determine your own search criteria with the advanced lter editor to extract company KPIs and managerial reports whenever needed. For even more exibility and customisation, congurable database elds allow the user to enter any additional key information, such as IP addresses, equipment conguration or capacity to display, for example, bottlenecks in the network. Reporting is based on industry standard formats such as Crystal Reports and HTML. Data is imported and exported via open source standards, such as XML.

Ease of Use
Multi-Database Access The user benets from the multi-database access, which is exible, scalable and future-proof. Select your database, such as MS AccessTM, SQL / MySQL or Oracle from a dropdown list and start planning immediately. Intuitive GUI The intuitive GUI leads the user naturally and stepby-step through the network planning process with less clicks. Through the self-evident and faster click sequence the network planning engineer is able to plan more rapidly. The GUI with data navigator, map window, map overview, database manager and display layers manager can be customised according to the users requirements. As in GoogleTM, the instant search function in text elds helps you to select information from a long data list faster - even before you nish typing the full text. Better Map Handling and Visualisation Overlay your maps through automatic fading and visualise in real-time the exact overlay you want. Orient yourself easily on the map. Benet from better visualisation of interference results: interferer path proles are indicated on the map, as well as transmitter / receiver lters and antenna patterns Visualise the network in Google EarthTM
