Product overview
The scale of the network challenge is already significant, and only increasing. Whether it is building-out a nationwide network beyond initial city deployments, understanding how to dynamically share LTE and NR spectrum or maximizing the effectiveness of the latest RF technologies, you need to be able to draw on unparalleled scale and automation.
The cloudification of the NR network will be fundamental to your ability to scale your network while controlling CAPEX, accelerating network roll-out while targeting investments for maximum returns and introducing automated decision-making to optimize costs without sacrificing performance.
Planet Cloud, our cloud-native AI-powered RF planning platform allows you to dynamically scale LTE and NR network predictive modelling to encompass the entire network radio topology, providing automated network planning services within workflows such as nationwide coverage and throughput analyses, as well as networkwide optimizations.
A cloud-native architecture not only allows you to accelerate the roll-out of your network; it is also a central building block for delivering on the vision of a completely automated network with integrated processes. Cloud-native open APIs provide interoperability for 3rd party applications and services, while an integrated optimization of the end-to-end network lifecycle prevents the creation of silos and adds insights, intelligence and automation.
Planet Cloud brings elastic scalability and automation to your entire network for design and optimization practices with functions such as automation of Cell Planning. This allows you to quickly create and evaluate rollout and upgrade scenarios, extend the planning process beyond the RF realm to include ROI and performance KPI’s as part of unified workflows producing real-world executable results and move closer to true digital twins.
Planet Cloud adapts the state-of-the-art modelling and AI/ML-powered automated mobile network planning algorithms used and proven in our market leading Planet RF planning software. Now optimized for docker-based performance and scalability and fully native in a Linux environment, the cloud-native architecture of Planet Cloud means it can be easily deployed in any public, private or hybrid cloud environment.
The result is that you can plan and automate network-wide RAN investment decisions to improve radio network design quality, roll out next generation networks faster and, ultimately, improve network CAPEX and OPEX efficiency.
