Overture is the first planning solution
to be available directly from the Internet. Keima's new website,
http://OvertureOnline.com, supports the whole product life-cycle
including installation, purchasing, updates, and support. This gives
engineers the freedom to get the tools they need when they need them at
a price that reflects today's commercial realities.
Dr Rupert Rawnsley, co-founder of Keima Limited and product director,
had this to say:
As the telecommunications market has accelerated, planning engineers
have been demanding more than the existing software tools have been able
to provide. We took up their challenge of "better, faster, cheaper" and
produced Overture, which, along with it's online portal, is truly game
changing.
Dr Stephen Margetts, co-founder of Keima Limited and product architect,
added:
Innovation is at the heart of Overture. From a variable resolution
analysis engine to a "one-click" installation system, we have set a new
standard for usability and performance. But telecommunications is a
moving target, so the platform has been built for change. As the name
suggests, this is just the beginning.
Keima Overture can be extended through easy-to-install modules. This
allows bespoke processes, custom analyses, third-party tools and
user-defined visualizations to be added to Keima Overture. This also
allows customers to pay for what they need when they need it. Three
modules accompany the initial release of Overture: Site Selection,
Parameter Optimization and the Data Manager.
Keima Overture is available now for technology consultants, network
engineering service providers, wireless network operators, and
infrastructure vendors. It can be used for overlay planning, candidate
selection, network merger integration, site portfolio evaluation,
initial parameter planning, late site integration, technology
evaluation, network planning and infrastructure vendor evaluation. It
supports all major families of wireless technologies, including LTE,
WiMAX, GSM, UMTS, and CDMA. Overture is also highly configurable for new
technologies or vendor specific extensions.
All pricing is public and the product can be purchased immediately over
the Internet. Prices start from £300 per month with discounts for longer
leases or volume purchases.
