iBwave Rolls Out a Seamless LTE Network Survey Solution

Introducing a new, affordable, and lightweight solution to simplify and streamline LTE network surveys

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iBwave Solutions, the industry-leading software provider for wireless network design, today announced the incorporation of LTE survey capabilities into its unique survey solution for mobile network operators, system integrators, and enterprises worldwide. With seamless integration between the existing iBwave Mobile app and the handheld Epiq Solutions’ PRiSM scanner, surveying LTE wireless networks has never been simpler or more affordable.

“Our enterprise and wireless customers need a seamless way to survey LTE networks, but tools today are too complex, too expensive, and lack integration with the network design,” said Jamie Birdnow, Senior VP of Commercial Operations at iBwave. “The latest version of our Mobile Survey solution solves these issues, enabling our customers to streamline and manage the entire LTE network survey and design lifecycle in a single solution.”

With wireless network survey data being such an integral part of the design process, it’s important that wireless engineers are equipped with scanners that are easy to use and can seamlessly integrate into the rest of the network design life cycle. It’s also important that once the networks are deployed, field technicians for operators and enterprises are equipped with the right tools to conduct regular performance and troubleshooting checks. This is especially true for the critical private LTE networks being deployed by carriers and enterprises today.

The iBwave Mobile app with the Epiq Solutions’ PRiSM scanner delivers key functionality not offered in any other survey solution on the market:

• Lightweight scanner that magnetically attaches to the back of a phone or tablet
• Seamless integration with the iBwave Mobile app to enable a powerful and robust way to survey single-carrier or private LTE wireless networks (with 5G coming soon!)
• Real-time, deep insight into the LTE network
• Fast and effective collection of survey data with minimal start-up time
• Minimized post-processing and a simplified end-to-end survey and design experience
• Simple detection of active frequencies and interference with a spectrum analyzer

Mobile operators, system integrators, and enterprises need to be confident their cellular wireless networks will meet necessary performance standards. With the latest additions to iBwave’s survey solution, they will have the right tool to effectively survey LTE Networks in a complete, easy-to-use solution that ensures the best possible reliability and performance. The new LTE integration also benefits iBwave customers surveying public safety networks by giving them a single solution to survey P25 or LTE networks.
