Australian Telecom Carrier Boosts Operational Efficiency and Backhaul Network Design Accuracy to Meet Complex Enterprise Customer Demands
PARIS, France and HERNDON, Virginia—April 29, 2014—Infovista, the global leader of IP and RF planning, service assurance and optimization software solutions, today announced that Vertel, an Australian provider of carrier-grade wireless network services to government, enterprise and service provider organizations, has deployed Mentum Ellipse as part of its corporate initiative to improve the efficiency of its network planning and design process.
Infovista’s wireless and fixed backhaul network planning solution replaced a competitive offering to help the carrier improve the accuracy and efficiency of its network design efforts. With Mentum Ellipse, Vertel can meet customers’ demands for complex, point-to-point microwave designs more quickly, freeing up resources in the network team to target new revenue opportunities without requiring additional resources.
Based on the evaluation of Infovista’s Mentum Ellipse Express Edition, Vertel chose the microwave engineering tool over other available solutions due to its state-of-the-art features, including inter-visibility and bulk LOS analysis, and strong performance levels. Integration with Infovista’s other wireless access network planning tools was also critical in the carrier’s selection process, particularly for future support of Vertel’s land mobile radio (LMR) and Wi-Fi network design teams.
