Backhaul Planning

ASSET Backhaul is a wireless backhaul network planning tool providing microwave link planning, path profiling, frequency and interference analysis and routing and capacity optimization.

As wireless traffic grows and technology changes, radio network designs need tweaking. This requires carriers to assess and optimize their backhaul designs. For high data capacity technologies such as 5G and LTE, backhaul consumes a significant proportion of a site’s overall costs, so creating an optimal backhaul plan can have a positive impact – not just on network performance, but also on CAPEX spend.

Additionally, small cells provide numerous transmission planning challenges due to their high capacity requirements and deployment in dense urban locations. Technologies from copper-to-fiber, and specialized microwave technologies, such as point-to-multi-point links, non-line-of-sight links all need to be assessed to find the best backhaul solution.

ASSET Backhaul provides complete backhaul network planning and includes all wireless backhaul technologies, including point-to-multipoint, non-line-of-sight, and micro and millimeter wave radio support. This, coupled with its ability to rank candidate locations based on backhaul requirements, makes it your ideal solution for small cell backhaul planning.

For over five years, Analysys Mason has consistently ranked TEOCO as one of the largest vendors of network planning and optimization software in their Service Design and Orchestration Systems: Worldwide Market Shares report.
