Cell Planner 5G
Advanced 5G network planning and optimization plugin. Design, validate, and optimize NR deployments with integrated propagation models, capacity analysis, and site recommendations.
Key Features
5G NR Propagation Models
Support for Okumura-Hata, COST 231, 3GPP TR 38.901, and custom models. Frequency-dependent path loss for sub-6 GHz and mmWave.
Capacity Analysis
Real-time throughput calculations, SINR mapping, and coverage-capacity trade-off analysis for multi-band networks.
Site Recommendations
Automated site selection with optimization for coverage, capacity, and interference. Cost-benefit analysis for deployment.
Live Drive Test Import
Import and visualize drive test measurements. Compare predicted vs. actual coverage for model validation and optimization.
Use Cases
5G Network Deployment
Plan macro and small cell networks from scratch. Determine site counts, antenna configurations, and frequency allocations for optimal coverage and capacity.
Network Optimization
Improve existing 4G/5G networks through parameter tuning, power optimization, and antenna tilt adjustments based on drive test data.
Competitive Analysis
Analyze competitor networks and understand coverage gaps. Develop strategies for competitive differentiation and market expansion.
Regulatory Compliance
Validate network performance against regulatory requirements. Generate compliance reports with detailed coverage and interference analysis.
