Overview
Tarana Wireless, a leading provider of next-generation fixed wireless access (ngFWA), partnered with ATDI to optimise the planning and deployment of its broadband solutions. Facing the challenges of delivering high-performance, reliable internet connectivity to underserved and rural areas, Tarana Wireless turned to HTZ Communications for comprehensive coverage analysis and network planning.
Challenge
Deploying fibre networks in underserved or rural areas is often impractical due to high costs and logistical barriers. Tarana Wireless needed a solution to accurately evaluate the coverage footprint of their ngFWA technology while minimising the number of sites and ensuring network reliability. Additionally, the company required a reliable RF planning tool to support tender responses, ensuring their proposals showcased the performance and efficiency of their solutions.
Approach
Tarana Wireless leveraged HTZ Communications, ATDI’s flagship radio network planning tool, to address their coverage and planning needs. Using HTZ’s global map data library and high-resolution clutter and DTM access, Tarana created detailed coverage maps illustrating site installations and coverage percentages. The company also implemented a server-based licensing model, enabling their teams across different time zones to share access to the software.
Solution
Using HTZ Communications, Tarana Wireless achieved precise network planning and coverage analysis to ensure their broadband solutions met key performance targets. Director for Global Sales, Stefan Hartung, praised HTZ for its flexibility, global map accessibility, and cost-saving benefits.
