ICS designer
The most complete and cost-effective radio planning tool
ATDI launches ICS designer – the most complete radioplanning software that exists on the market, with a very attractive price. No additional modules, ultra-flexible price policy (multi-licenses, upgrades, downgrades, competitor software overtake) and costs of maintenance and assistance of your choice with a reactivity of support services and unique development.
ICS designer includes and supports:
Multi-technologies (mobile, broadcast, fixed services, microwaves, satellites, radar, aeronautical, point to multipoint and others). This includes coexistence studies between different technologies (LTE vs DVB-T, mobile vs fixed and others)
Multi-resolutions maps (Rasters 2D & 3D and Vectors)
Multi-databases (SQL, XML and Distributed RDB)
Types of networks supported in ICS designer: GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA, HSPA+, LTE (TDD and FDD), WiMAX, WiFi, cdma2000, EVDO, TDMA, FDMA, DVB-H, Tetra, DVB-T/2, ISDB-T, DMR, BWA, TV, FM, MLAT, DME, radars, microwave links, Mesh, windfarms, AMR and others.

Number of sectors with satisfactory RSRP value (RSRP coverage analysis /Simultaneous)
Maximal and n-maximal RSRQ value for each pixel (RSRQ map: 1st, 2nd and 3rd server)
Probability of given RSRQ value over a defined threshold (normal distribution SNIR function + RSRQ map: 1st, 2nd and 3rd server)
Coverage reliability based on RSRQ – yes/no based on prediction reliability % (normal distribution + filter: i.e >=100%)
