NETWORK DESIGN
Reduce network design time by 50%
Don’t waste time manually building 3D models! With Ranplan Professional, you can effortlessly generate 3D building models from IFC files created in BIM software and the Metaroom® App, as well as from Auto CAD floor plans. This capability is particularly beneficial when dealing with multiple, large and complex 3D building models. Ranplan Professional simplifies the import and reconstruction of objects such as walls, staircases and windows, eliminating the need for manual intervention. This significantly enhances efficiency and reduces the overall cost of network design.
- Create 3D building models in just minutes by importing IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) files from various BIM (Building Information Modelling) authoring software, such as Revit, Edificius, ArchiCAD, EdiLus®, SketchUp®, VectorWorks®, Rhino®, Tekla® and more.
- Seamlessly import 3D IFC building models from the Metaroom® LiDAR scanning app.
- Automatically reconstruct 3D building models from imported 2D Auto CAD floorplans.
- The Intelligent Floorplan Recognition (IFR) tool assists in modelling your environments from images or drawings when official floorplans are unavailable.
- Import 3D Mesh files to accurately and efficiently model complex structures such as curved rooftops, tunnels, and train carriages.
- Our Network System Design tools empower you to flexibly build and configure networks for a wide range of venues and environments.
- The Intelligent Network Optimization tools enhance the automation of network designs and improve network performance.
- Seamless integration of Geographical Information from GIS aids in modelling both the indoor and outdoor environments within the same design project.
- Access our large multi-vendor component database to populate your network with verified devices.
NETWORK SIMULATIONS
Precision in Coverage and Capacity Optimization
With Ranplan Professional, you can confidently design ultra-reliable 4G LTE, 5G and Wi-Fi networks that will cope with the increased indoor data consumption of dense urban environments. Leverage Ranplan’s true 3D ray-tracing, ray-launching propagation engine and enhanced visualisation tools to produce realistic simulations of the planned indoor and outdoor wireless network coverage, reliability and latency. Test the network’s readiness to handle the expected data traffic from numerous devices using the capacity simulator, which also assesses the user experience and network performance.
- True 3D ray-tracing, ray-launching propagation engine, Maxwell and advanced visualisation.
- Harness the power of 3D Beamforming, massive MIMO and 3D MIMO technologies in your network design.
- Millimetre Wave (mmWave) modelling and propagation simulation, factoring in path loss, reflection, diffraction, and scattering.
- Simulate network delay and reliability against defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with the Ultra-Reliable, Low Latency Communication (URLLC) feature.
- Simulate network redundancy scenarios by deactivating individual or multiple devices and cables.
- Automatic radio network optimization modules for frequency, PCI and RSI planning, antenna configuration, network topology planning, power sharing and network performance analysis.
- Conduct full traffic capacity simulations and analysis with the Wireless Network Simulation tool.

Yes, users can create their own custom layouts for reports within Ranplan Products. For detailed information on how to do this please refer to the user documentation for the relevant software package.
The latest versions of Ranplan Professional, DAS and Tablet can be downloaded from the ‘Downloads’ section of your account on the GLS end user portal. Please note that you will only have access to the install packages for which you have license keys.
Under general circumstances the 3D ray-tracing model is accurate to within 6dB RMS error of the measured scenario and this has been independently verified.
The Smart Extract tool within Ranplan takes a much more visual approach to identifying walls, doors, windows, columns and inclined planes with no need to interact with the many layers in the CAD file.
The optimization modules (ICO, IAO and IFO) all use heuristic algorithms to determine the results they provide. This means that the optimization modules will attempt to provide the best outcome based upon the restrictions or parameters provided by you, the user.
