MWC – Mentum, a wireless access and backhaul network planning and optimization company, today announced that it will offer a new Automated Network Planning package with the upcoming release of Mentum Planet 5.3.
Mentum Planet is a robust and easy-to-use Windows-based software solution that helps wireless operators, integrators, and equipment vendors plan, manage, and improve the performance of wireless access networks.
The Mentum Automated Network Planning (ANP) package will provide innovative capabilities for the rollout of LTE networks with features like automatic site creation, selection, and optimization. The native integration with Mentum Planet will provide substantial advantages when it comes to ease of use, accuracy, scalability and enterprise capabilities.
