Here’s what you can do with iBwave Viewer

Open and view design projects via the Cloud as read-only
View design files in stunning 3D
Run reports

Open and view design projects via the Cloud as read-only

  • Always stay connected to your projects via the cloud. Share projects in read-only mode. When you want to share a project with your customer, share it from iBwave Design and they will be sent a direct link to the project. The project will open in Viewer in read-only mode.
  • View design plans by building or floor. When a project opens it will display the cover page, design plan for the building, and the design for each floor plan.
  • Select visible layers. Select what layers of the design to view for each floor plan (examples: view with prediction/without prediction, view with parts/without part, etc).
  • Select visible output maps. Let your customer select which output map they want to see for each floor plan. (examples: view overlap zone, CCI, SNR, etc).
  • Export Project. Your customer can export individual floor plan designs or the entire plan to an image file.

View design files in stunning 3D

  • 3D Viewer. Let your customer view the venue’s network design in advanced 3D either for the entire building or for the current floor plan.
  • View with or without prediction. Your customers can view the design in 3D with or without prediction.
  • Select visible layers. Customers can select what they see in the 3D model (walls, wireframes, cables, APs, transmitters, textures, etc).
  • Zoom, walk through, pan. Your customer can virtually walk through their building in 3D with zoom, walk through, panning and orbit capabilities.
  • Export to an image. Customers can easily export the 3D model and design of their venue to an image file.

What's new

iBwave Design Lite

Multi-Carrier Small Cell Signal Sources

  • In the latest release, we've introduced support for OEM multi-carrier, multi-technology small cell signal sources. With these flexible signal sources, you can simplify your work and save time by deploying multiple services (technologies, bands, blocks, and channels) for multiple operators in a single OEM small cell signal source.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

1. INTRODUCTION

Smooth and rapid operation of iBwave Design is highly dependent on Boost Clock Speed of the processor, the number of cores, and the amount of RAM in the system. For highly complex designs involving a large surface area, high number of transmitters, and number of wireless services, the Recommended specifications listed in this document are meant to provide the best experience for users attempting to build accurate designs through rapid iterations of designing and predicting the system.

2. RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS

The following table describes the minimum and recommended specifications of iBwave Design. A Recommended system is one that can reliably execute complex designs over large venues with numerous transmitters and large square footage.

Recommended Specifications will offer the highest performance while offering similar results in terms of execution time for a single user.

Desktop Minimum Recommended
Laptop (Mobile CPUs) Desktop Cloud
Processor Intel Core i5 AMD Ryzen 5 Intel Core i7 AMD Ryzen 7 Intel Core i9 AMD Ryzen 9 Intel XEON Platinum AMD EPYC 9xx4
CPU Clock Speed 4+ GHz Boost Clock 4+ GHz Boost Clock 5+ GHz Boost Clock 3.40 GHz
Core 6+ Performance Cores 6+ Performance Cores 8+ Performance Cores 128 Cores
Operating System Win 10 Pro, 64 bits, x64- base processor Win 10 Pro, 64 bits, x64- base processor Win 11 Pro, 64 bits, x64- base processor Windows Server 2022

2.1 GPU-ACCELERATED SPECIFICATIONS

When coupled with GPU acceleration using supported CUDA® operations on Nvidia® devices, there is a marked reduction in prediction times on these systems. The base computation for every prediction map is the creation of Signal Strength matrices describing the power at each point of a prediction map. Utilizing the GPU for these computations can result in further performance gains relative to the system used.

Note: CUDA GPU Acceleration is available starting in Release 22 of iBwave Design for all packages of iBwave Design.

Laptop Desktop Cloud
System As Recommended As Recommended As Recommended
NVIDIA Video Card RTX 4070 (Mobile) RTX 4090 A100
GPU-Accelerated Prediction Time 1h 43m 28m 29m

 

CERTIFIED NVIDIA® DEVICES:

Devices that comply with a minimum of CUDA® Compute Level of 6.1 will be capable of running GPU-accelerated predictions (see the following table - https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus). Of these devices only the following devices have been internally tested for use with CUDA® Accelerated predictions:

  • Nvidia 4xxx-Series of devices
  • Nvidia A40 / A100 Cloud devices

* iBwave Design Lite does not allow the usage of multiple simultaneous Terminal Server sessions.

* iBwave Design Lite will not run under multiple simultaneous Terminal Servers

* iBwave Design Lite product line is not supported on virtual environments.
