BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The iBwave Mobile application leverages mobile devices to a portable tool for collecting building

information during site surveys. Two iBwave Mobile products are offered:

The iBwave Mobile Note: provides the core features of collecting site survey data by means of

dynamic notations that encompasses pictures, text, audio and video type media.

The iBwave Mobile Planner: provides the advanced features of planning and deploying small cell

designs, equipped with a portable database of components.

Installed iBwave Mobile applications can be upgraded with iBwave Mobile Note. However the iBwaveMobile Planner is a new add-on product offered in this release.

Note: This user guide documents the features in both the iBwave Mobile Note and the iBwave Mobile

Planner products.

INTRODUCTION

The iBwave Mobile in-building application enables you to:

Stay connected with your peers and access project information while on the road

Transform your mobile device into a tool for collecting building information during site surveys

Add text, pictures, videos and audio notes directly onto your building floor plans

Draw design markups of the floor plans to adjust and refine network design and coverage

Plan the deployment of small cells designs through a portable database of components

Run coverage maps of the small cells designs to test coverage and throughput on the go

Working with iBwave Mobile, your mobile data is leveraged when shared with iBwave Unity that facilitates

the delivery of mobile projects into iBwave Design. The three iBwave platforms, comprised of iBwave

Design, iBwave Unity and iBwave Mobile, work in cohesion to increase productivity and encourage

collaboration among teams with varying skillset with the effort to complete the projects on time and within

budget.

INTRODUCTION

The following diagram shows data sharing across the three application platforms:

Typically the iBwave Mobile application connects toiBwave Unity;the in-building management web

server to exchange project data among teams. Remote users equipped with the iBwave Design

application can connect to the iBwave Unity platform to retrieve the mobile data collected in the field. The

mobile data is then incorporated to the Design projects for further optimization and validation. Through

iBwave Unity, the mobile data is saved and leveraged to further provide data analytics and reporting.

6/106



iv

There are two types of deployments for sharing mobile data across the iBwave platforms:

iBwave Cloud, where mobile data is shared via the iBwave Cloud. Email notifications are sent tothe project team where iBwave Design users can continue working on data received from the

field.

iBwave Unity Enterprise, where mobile data is shared via the iBwave Enterprise server. Changes

to the mobile projects are saved to the server and later retrieved by iBwave Design users.

In both deployments sending iBwave project files externally can be achieved via email. Email

messages containing links to the uploaded project files are sent to the target recipients.

For iBwave Cloud,if an account was created for your company you can request a free trial for your

device; select Request accountwhen launching the iBwave Mobile application.

For other users, choose Log inor contact your administrator to obtain access to iBwave Cloud. You

can also send an email to theiBwave Customer Careteam to verify if an iBwave Cloud account was

created.

For iBwave Unity Enterprise, if you would like to obtain more informationclick hereand one of theiBwave representatives will contact you shortly.

SMALL CELLS DESIGN IN PLANNER


55

Disclaimer: This section only applies to the iBwave Mobile Planner product. Small

Cells Design feature is exclusive to this product.


Note: Skip this section if you are only using the iBwave Mobile Note product or if you are using an iOS

device. iBwave Mobile Planner is only supported for Android devices.

Small cells deployment can be designed and documented during a site visit using the iBwave Mobile

Planner, an add-on product to the iBwave Mobile Note. With this product, onsite field technicians are

equipped with the tools to plan small cells designs on building and floor layouts, run coverage maps from

generated antenna contours with selected bands, and route the network equipment readily available from

the database of components. A first site visit can yield a completed small cell design with exact

equipment models and accurate coverage assessments, delivering it to RF engineers who in turn can

refine and optimize it using iBwave Design. An initial design is produced with the accuracy of closely

comparing the documented project to the physical environment, fast-forwards the process of approval

and implementation and ultimately saves time and reduces overall costs otherwise accrued by multiple

visits.

RUN PREDICTION CONTOURS


82

In the example above the floor layout is plotted with both network equipment and miscellaneous parts

pictograms.


Display the antenna contours on your layout plan for the purpose of running a preliminary prediction. With

these results you are able to evaluate your design and make the necessary adjustments where needed.

Based on the selected environment type that contributes to the prediction accuracy and the size of the

contour, make sure that the precise environment type reflects the appropriate exponents.

View thePropagation Model propertiesto verify the appropriate environment type selection.

and keep those that you want to run a prediction for.

3. Prediction measurements are automatically calculated and the propagation contours are instantly

displayed on the layout plan, per configured contour type and target values.

4. Contours are plotted by order of frequency, separated by a border to indicate each frequency.

This provides an approximate coverage as evaluated by the antenna contours.


94/106



84

5. To move radio transceivers around the plan for the purpose of optimizing coverage span, tap on a

radio transceiver part and move it around.

6. If needed tap to adjust theinterference levels.
