    The exponential increase in levels of data traffic and theconvergence of services are driving network innovationamongst the worlds mobile operators. They all face thesame challenges to cost effectively meet rising demandfor mobile data, safeguard the quality of user experienceand deliver differentiated next generation mobile services.This means the network planning process is becomingmore complicated as mobile networks evolve and theRAN, core and transmission become more inter-dependent.Conventional planning techniques which treat each of theseelements as standalone components do not allow planningand engineering teams to easily understand how all thecomponents of the network will perform together.

    AIRCOMs I-View Dimension offers a complete solutionto model, plan and optimise end-to-end networks providingan integrated environment to solve the complex challengesfaced by engineers. It also provides great flexibility andaccuracy allowing network planners to design and evaluatescenarios quickly in order to address complex multi-layernetwork challenges.

    I-VIEW Dimension bringstogether RAN and mobilecore network elementplanning with integratedsupport for multi-layertransmission planning.This is done within onemodelling frameworkproviding a powerfulend-to-end mobilenetwork planningsolution which allowsyou to:

    Build a detailed trafficmodel which accuratelyrepresents the variety ofdifferent subscriberbehaviours across GERANand UTRAN networks

    Drive network efficienciesby providing visibility andcontrol of networkperformance through KPIsand reports

    Maximise network capacityby minimising network

    congestion andbottlenecks throughadvanced networkoptimisation techniques

    EQUIPMENT INVENTORYThe flexible equipmentinventory modelling in I-VIEWDimension provides anintuitive UI to visualiseequipment including ports,cards and equipment units.This enables commissioningand provisioning ofequipment and derives thebill of quantities and portutilisation for further workorder generation.

    Multi-vendor equipmentmodelling across RAN, coreand transmission domains.

    Support for hierarchicalobject modelling includingsite, node, sub-rack, card,port and link elements.

    Port to port connectivityto identify usage andoccupancy of equipment

    based on traffic flows.Functional status (In/Out-

    of-Service) and planningstatus (Planned/Commissioned/Live)modelling.

    SCENARIO PLANNINGI-VIEW Dimension allowsnetwork planners to evaluatecomplex plans and perform

    what-if analysis for anumber of different usecases such as the additionof video streaming servicesin a HSPA network, or a 20%increase in base stationtraffic in a GSM network andto evaluate how this impactson other parts of thenetwork etc.

    What-if scenarioplanning for trafficgrowth, technologyevolution andnetwork changes.

    Ability to create a numberof different scenarios bycreating instances of thesame baseline project.

    Evaluate and comparevarious scenarios,evaluate the results fromdimensioning and merge

    best-fit scenario intomain design.

    VISUALISATIONA powerful visualisationengine with built-inalgorithms providesa number of differentschematic views of theend-to-end network suchas physical, mobile, core

    and others allowingengineers to view thenetwork from differentpoints of view. Theneighbourhood viewprovides easy navigationof the physical and logicalconnectivity of the networkallowing engineers to seeall the connections andadjacent nodes of a selectedelement at a glance.

    The tool supports automaticKML file generation enablingplanners to visualise theirwhole network in other GISsystems such as GoogleEarth and Google Maps.

    USABILITY ANDARCHITECTUREThe I-VIEW Dimensiondatabase is shared across

    multiple users allowingplanners to have a local(private copy) andcentralised versions (publiccopy) of the network.The application supportsOracle and the CITRIXproviding a true multi-userenvironment particularlysuited to large scalecorporate deployments.

    I-VIEW Dimension provides seniormanagers with an indication of returnon investment and engineering teamswith the drill down details ofbottlenecks and capacity upgradesrequired across their end-to-end

    network.

    The tool provides seamless mobileand transmission planning capabilities with KPIs, interface and linkdimensioning results and accurate demand calculations from mobile totransport layer.

    To enable engineers to solve network issues faster, I-VIEW Dimensionprovides flexible multi-vendor equipment modelling and powerful schematicvisualisation of physical and logical connections.
