Network Design and Channel Modeling

Advanced RF Planning Tools for Implementation of 802.16t Networks

Ondas Networks has developed a family of sophisticated RF measurement tools which enabled us to perform advanced channel modeling associated with challenging communications environments. For example, the Ondas Curiosity tool enables us to perform passive in-line monitoring of the locomotive to end-of-train communications link while testing radios in the field environment.

​

 We also developed the Ondas Magellan tool which allows us to emulate a variety of RF protocols for field testing (such as legacy radio modes and 802.16t modulations) through software-defined radio technology. These tools allow us to perform a three-stage test of our radio technology for use in different environments:

​​

1. Establish a baseline of the real RF environment associated with existing (legacy) radio deployments.

2. Quantify improvements that can be made to the existing radio communications link when using Ondas radios with enhancements to the legacy protocol. These improvements can be measured against the actual baseline with legacy radios.

3. Measure the improvements to the legacy communications link when using Ondas 802.16t radios operating in different 802.16t operating modes.

​

Through the use of our tools we can demonstrate the distinct advantages of our 802.16t FullMAX™ radio technology compared to other radio technologies deployed in the field today.
