Case Study: E-PLUS achieves faster, more accurate cellular network planning with Rogue Wave Software's IMSL libraries

Major Cellular Network Provider Developing Wireless Solutions with IMSL®

E-PLUS, one of Germany’s leading cellular network providers, needed software to help 70 network planners predict real-world antenna coverage, assign frequencies and forecast call traffic across complex terrain. To avoid rebuilding core numerical routines, E-PLUS turned to Rogue Wave Software and deployed IMSL C Numerical Libraries — including the IMSL C Mathematics and Statistics Libraries and the IMSL ObjectSuite Math Module for C++ — for propagation planning, cell calculation, testing and statistical analysis.

Dr. Kurner’s Software Development Team integrated Rogue Wave Software’s IMSL linear solvers, numerical integration and regression routines into their C/C++ applications to handle arbitrary cell shapes and real topology. The solution accelerated development, reduced coding effort, improved accuracy for frequency assignment and call planning used by the 70 planners, and delivered measurable ROI through significant time savings (IMSL can reduce programming time by up to 95%), lower costs and better network coverage.
