AIRCOM International has deployed an integrated wireless GSM/UMTS and backhaul network planning software solution to Union Wireless, the local US operator in Wyoming, North-West Colorado and Utah. AIRCOM’s Asset product will allow Union Wireless to model new 3G sites prior to live traffic deployment, enabling the operator to roll out an efficient, optimised radio network using dual GSM and WCDMA technology. AIRCOM’s CONNECT tool will provide Union Wireless with intelligent backhaul, microwave and capacity planning across TDM, Ethernet IP and hybrid networks to combat the bottlenecks that can arise from increased data traffic.

Leading independent network planning and optimisation solutions provider AIRCOM International has today announced it has delivered an integrated RF (GSM / UMTS) and backhaul network planning software solution to Union Wireless. Union Wireless, a telecoms operator in Wyoming, North-western Colorado, and Utah, USA, will use AIRCOM tools to ensure a smooth and cost effective transition to 3G technology.

AIRCOM’s ASSET product will allow Union Wireless to model new 3G sites prior to live traffic deployment, enabling the operator to rollout an efficient, optimised radio network using dual GSM and UMTS technology. This will be supported by AIRCOM’s CONNECT tool. CONNECT will provide Union Wireless with intelligent backhaul, microwave & capacity planning across TDM, Ethernet IP and hybrid networks to combat the bottlenecks that can arise from increased data traffic.

Uniquely, ASSET and CONNECT together offer a complete and single overview of Union Wireless’ network, combining radio and backhaul planning to enable full network management. In addition to software, AIRCOM will also provide full support for data migration, and full training for the use of its tools.

“AIRCOM International’s close integration of network planning and optimisation tools provides us with complete design & management capabilities which should directly translate into improved operational efficiency as well as improved network performance. That is a very compelling proposition,” said Eric Woody, Chief Technical Officer, Union Wireless. “Using ASSET and CONNECT we are able to roll out 3G in the most efficient and cost effective manner possible. With the added planning capabilities of the tools, we can avoid slow data throughput, coverage blackspots, and other potential network problems.”

“We’re delighted to have been chosen by Union Wireless to assist in the roll out of its 3G network,” said Darryl Edwards, CEO, AIRCOM International. “It’s more vital than ever that operators look to reduce their operating costs while at the same improving customer experience. We’re happy to help Union Wireless meet this challenge.”
