Eugene, OR-based EDX Engineering Inc.. has added two large players to its list of customers. In particular, EDX has announced that Nortel Networks (Brampton, ON) and Harris (Melbourne, FL) have chosen the SignalPro software package and Network Design Module for the design and planning of broadband systems.

The SignalPro software package is designed for Windows 95, Windows NT, and Windows 98 systems. This package is equipped with a set of planning tools for wireless communications systems. Specifically, the product houses a number of propagation model types along with a range of coverage and interference analyses. In addition, the package delivers RF system design and modeling capabilities for all major wireless technologies including PCS/cellular, paging, SMR/LMR, indoor LAN's, broadcast technologies, and broadband technologies such as LMDS, MDS, and wireless local loop (WLL).

EDX's Network Design Module is an optional add-on module for use with SignalPro. This module provides engineering design capabilities for cellular/PCS and point-to-multipoint system design. In particular, engineers can use this software module during the design/development of MMDS, LMDS, and WLL networks.

The Network Design Module can be used with any of the systems that fall within the broad definition of a point-to-multipoint or consecutive point system operating in the 2 to 60 GHz range. The module enables automatic system layout, frequency planning, and both downlink and uplink interference studies for broadband systems.
