Responsible and responsive engineering

Telecommunications product

Firespec offer and provides a wide range of services in engineering and construction industries:FESB` Professional Engineers and service technicians are vital to our superb quality product design and high manufacturing standards. We consider safety, quality, durability, customization, and performance in our design. FESB believes in engineering that is both responsible to the application scenario, and responsive to customer demands, so we work closely with product development and application engineers, or our OEM customers to ensure that they are provided the instrument instrumentation ation they require.

NETWORK PLANNING WinProp is the main product of FESB. The development of WinProp started in the mid 1990's and WinProp runs on standard PCs with MS Windows (7, XP, Vista, 2000 - all 32 bit and 64 bit versions are supported). The propagation and network planning engines are additionally available as DLLs (for Windows and Linux operating systems) and can be included via an API into any other software package.

Our Principal AWE Communications was able to develop a software package ideally suited for propagation modeling in different scenarios (rural, urban, indoor, tunnels,...) and for network planning of different air interfaces (LTE, 3G, 2G/2.5G, WLAN, WiMAX , DVB-H/ DVB-SH,...).

History Milestones 1998 - 2004 1998

AWE Communications is founded 3D Ray Tracing with preprocessing of the database for urban scenarios => Urban 3D IRT For the first time, 3D Ray Tracing is possible for larger areas within a few seconds on a standard PC.

1999

Extension of 3D Ray Tracing with preprocessing of the database to indoor scenarios => Indoor 3D IRT The high speed 3D Ray Tracing is now available also for indoor scenarios. AWE Communications gets the best paper award at the IEEE PIMRC conference in Japan for the 3D IRT. IRT.

2000

Dynamic UMTS system simulator as first step into the world of system simulation software. Flexible and fast simulator allows AWE to sell the new network products successfully and to establish a second business division besides the propagation domain.

2001

Combined Network Planning (CNP): (CNP): Combination of urban and indoor databases to compute the penetration into buildings or to analyze outdoor interaction of transmitters located inside buildings. Integration of the 3D Urban IRT into Aircom into Aircom Enterprise (requested by Nokia Nokia))

2002

Localization of mobile stations in cellular networks: AWE Communications Communications and and Siemens present an extension of WinProp for the determination of the accuracy of different positioning algorithms (E-CITA, E-OTD, A-GPS, CIT+). EMC Workshop series started together with T-Mobile (approx. 4 workshops per year). Integration of the 3D Urban IRT into Forsk ATOLL (requested by Alcatel by Alcatel). ).

Products: Customer Specific Development Developmentss Advantages of AWE developments compared to internal solutions: • AWE’s engineers have a long experience in developing propagation models

and network planning simulators. This experience can be combined with young and innovative engineers from universities and from the Software-Center. • Cheaper & faster (development cycle) due to re-use of available modules. • Further cost reduction in case of re-selling the software modules modules by AWE

Some Examples for Customer Specific Developments: EMC (Electromagnetic Exposure) Urban Propagation Modeling HSDPA for UMTS FDD Networks Time-Variant Propagation Models RCS in Propagation Models

Urban Propagation Modeling MIMO Propagation Analysis Localization of Users in Networks Indoor & CNP Propagation Modeling
