Latest News: Volcano 2.6

Siradel is shortly to release Volcano 2.6 a new version of its suite of propagation models for the wireless industry.

With the advent of wideband technologies (3G, wiMAX, BFWA) and the convergence of telecom and broadcast applications (DVB-T, DVB-H), there is a growing need for not only accurate but flexible prediction techniques, accounting for outdoor and indoor units. These could be indoor Base Stations (e.g. Node B's) that can interfere with the outdoor network, or indoor User Terminals (Mobile Phone's CPEs) belonging to a mobile or point-to-multipoint FWA system (e.g. a WiMAX network).

There is also a growing need for computation-intensive predictions for large networks comprising up to several thousand sites, as well as for optimisation applications that rely on multiple runs of the same predictions with different parameters.

Volcano 2.6 has been developed to meet these needs. For a full description of the innovative enhancements incorporated in Volcano 2.6 download the file attached below.
