Automatic Access Point and Small Cell Placement

• Now you can simplify and automate Small Cell Placement with the improved automatic Access Point Placement tool. Now when you’re using small cells with LTE or 5G technology, the target power will be assumed as target RSRP instead of the RSSI value. The “Target RSSI” column has been renamed to “Target Power”. This results in small cell being added and placed on the floor plan based on RSRP coverage giving you 100% coverage for the entered dBm.

UX Improvements – Pause and Resume Predictions

• Starting in this release, we will be implementing a series of Quality of Life and User Experience Improvements, along with general performance enhancements to processing, calculation, and prediction Speed. The first Quality of Life improvement enables you to Pause and Resume your predictions. Now you can instantly pause the predictions, access their workstations as needed, and resume the predictions right from where you left off.
  
  While providing you with new UX improvements, we continue to work on improving the prediction speed to serve you the best experience with iBwave Design.

5G Prediction with iBwave Mobile Planner

• You can now use predictive maps for 5G small call designs in iBwave Mobile Planner! Using the technology selector, the following KPIs can generate an output map:
  • SS RSRP
  • SS RSRQ
  • SS SINR
  • SS RSSI
  • Throughput
  Additionally, you can set compliance criteria for each map and include them in the output maps report.

Improved ibwc Import Speed

• You can now further accelerate your work with iBwave Mobile Planner thanks to the strong improvements made on the import speed of ibwc files!

Grid Test UI Improvements (for Public Safety)

• In this release of Mobile Survey, you can view the grid test results directly on the floorplan in real time even while doing your grid test.

Improved ibwc Import Speed

• You can now further accelerate your work with iBwave Mobile Survey thanks to the strong improvements made on the import speed of ibwc files!

Mobile Favorites

• To work faster and simplify your user experience, you can now save the format for commonly used objects and quickly access them through a 1-touch pop-up menu.

Double-tap to Open Annotations

• You can quickly navigate to Annotation properties by simply double-tapping the Annotation pushpin. This feature improvement aligns functionality with intuitive user behaviors.

Picture Plans Renaming Enhancements

• The feature added in the 19.0 mobile release has been enhanced further by allowing you to rename Picture Plans from the default.

Automatic Access Point and Small Cell Placement

• Now you can simplify and automate Small Cell Placement with the improved automatic Access Point Placement tool. Now when you’re using small cells with LTE or 5G technology, the target power will be assumed as target RSRP instead of the RSSI value. The “Target RSSI” column has been renamed to “Target Power”. This results in small cell being added and placed on the floor plan based on RSRP coverage giving you 100% coverage for the entered dBm.

Basic Mode Improvements

• Basic mode has a new look. Now changes on the Basic and Advanced mode layouts are saved in separate workspaces and switching between modes and closing/opening the application will keep the latest changes on the layout. You can also reset both modes to the default layouts by clicking on “Rest Workspace”.

Near-Far Effect & Uplink AGC Output Maps

• You can now use a full suite of Public Safety output maps in our software with our two newest additions.
• Near-Far Effect Output Map allows you to design Public Safety networks using Off Air base station and understand and predict your public safety design performance coverage in near-far effect circumstances.
• You can use Uplink AGC Output Map for calculating and predicting the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) values applied in the uplink direction at the BDA using Off Air Base Station. Both new output maps are available for P25, TETRA, TEDS and DMR technologies.

Increase Floor Plan Image Quality for ibwc and Mist Files

• You can now set an image quality for the floor plans exported in ibwc files. In the ibwc export panel, there is a new drop down “Image Quality” with 3 options: Low, Medium, and High. Previously all floor plan images were exported with the low quality by default.

802.11N and 802.11P Added to 4.9 GHZ – Public Safety Broadband

• 802.11n and 802.11p technologies have been added to the 4.9 GHz – Public Safety Broadband.

View Imported Reach Prediction on the Outdoor Plan

• When importing iBwave Reach outdoor predictions into iBwave Design, you can now choose to include the imported predictions on the outdoor plan.

We’re introducing a new Stencil Library for iBwave FiberPass– A radically simpler and faster way to model objects and surfaces on your floor plan!

Now you can now simply grab a stencil and paste it to your floor plan with ease and accelerate and simplify your object modelling! Stencil Library is a collection of user-defined templates, or stencils, of frequently used markups, images, 3D materials and objects. You can quickly create stencils from single objects to multiple selections and complex 3D objects.

In this release, Stencils support the following objects or combination of objects:

• Living Units and Equipment Areas
• Markups (shapes, lines, and polygons)
• Rich-text and simple text boxes
• Walls and Surfaces (inclined and horizontal)

Stencil support for additional object types will be added in future releases.

Part Annotation Assignment

• Part Annotation Assignment allows you to quickly assign annotations to parts in the design with a few simple taps. The Mobile Report will also include all part annotations in the project.

Improved Feedback for GIS Parsing

• The GIS parsing result will now be stored as a project property in iBwave Unity, allowing users with the View Project privilege to see the status of GIS parsing for their projects. This information may be found in the Project Info category, in the Project Summary subcategory on the project detail page, under the Project tab.

Indoor Prediction Maps

• The map feature has been enhanced to display the indoor prediction maps generated by iBwave Design. You will now notice a Prediction Maps button under the Map tab on the Plans & Buildings page of the project. By clicking the button, available prediction maps for the selected floor will be displayed.

Enhanced Control Over Mobile Authentication

• In the past, activating the OpenID protocol in Unity also enabled it in the desktop and mobile applications. But now, iBwave Unity's authentication module has been upgraded to allow customers to deactivate OpenID for mobile applications. This enables consumers to utilize their Unity credentials for the mobile application, even if the web application authentication is handled via OpenID. This setting can be turned on in the database by the iBwave Customer Care specialists.
