Ellipse | Backhaul Planning Solution

Advanced reflection analyses in 3D and support for point-to-multipoint, line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) technologies enable accurate backhaul planning in dense urban areas – critical for successful 5G network deployments. Additionally, detailed interference analysis and Automatic Channel Allocation allow transmission planning engineers to cost-effectively meet reliability, capacity, quality and availability targets.

Ellipse features extensive path-profile analysis that includes Fresnel zone clearance, multiple k-factors, terrain/clutter/building visualization, reflection analysis and antenna height optimization. The software also includes multiple propagation models, rain rate models, water vapor models, performance models as well as diversity models to ensure the highest levels of simulation accuracy.

Ellipse can automatically design or optimize your network considering all existing locations. This includes finding the best path to carry the specified traffic from site A to site B, automated creation of new links for the suggested hops, and display of high and low status’ for microwave links. The solution also includes a path-finding feature to visualize all possible transmission paths from one location to another or from multiple locations to a concentration node.

The Ellipse transport module allows you to define site paths and create circuits and rings across your transport network. Each path or circuit can be comprised of multiple microwave hops, fiber links and copper links. These circuits can then be analyzed with Ellipse providing routing analysis, network capacity and delay analysis and link failure analysis.
