  • Remcom Announces Update To Wireless InSite EM Propagation Software With Support For KMZ/COLLADA Data And Speed Improvements For Processing Large Urban Scenes

    STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Oct. 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Remcom announces a new version of Wireless InSite®, its site-specific radio propagation software for the analysis of wireless communication systems. This version, Release 2.8, supports the import of KMZ and COLLADA geometry files. It also provides several other enhancements, including significant speed improvements to the processing of terrain and city geometry, enabling simulations that include larger or more complex urban scenes.

    The ability to import and create KMZ (.kmz) and COLLADA (.dae) geometry files is particularly useful for adding single structures, such as bridges, high resolution buildings, or new construction to a scene. These structures are often missing from urban geometry data. In addition, KMZ files are geo-located and will properly align with imported geometry in the Wireless InSite project.

    Ruth Belmonte, product manager for Wireless InSite, said, "The KMZ and COLLADA imports will benefit both government and commercial customers. These international standard formats are widely supported, and will provide users access to an expanded source of data. They can also be easily displayed in third party GIS tools such as Google Earth. In addition, these formats import very quickly into Wireless InSite."

    The release also introduces the concept of the transceiver, which simplifies the co-location of transmitters and receivers. Transceiver Sets streamline the setup of modern wireless networks where points may be ideally simulated as both transmitters and receivers. A co-located transmitter/receiver has independent transmit and receive properties, such as antenna pattern, waveform, and rotations. Remcom has prepared an application example, "Modeling an Ad Hoc Network with Transceivers," which demonstrates this new capability. The example is available at Remcom's website.

    Other important updates include improved UTD calculations in the Triple Path Geodesic (TPG) and Vertical Plane Urban Propagation (VPUP) models. These models are part of Wireless InSite's Real Time suite, offering point-to-point calculations in milliseconds. Previously, these models only provided a limited set of output types (path loss or gain). With these improvements, VPUP and TPG provide path data including angles of arrival and departure, delay spread, complex impulse response and complex E-field.
    Further details about latest enhancements can be found at Remcom's website.

    About Wireless InSite: Wireless InSite is site-specific radio propagation software for the analysis of wireless communication systems, wireless networks, sensors, radars, and other devices that transmit or receive radio waves. It provides efficient and accurate predictions of propagation and communication channel characteristics in complex urban, indoor, rural and mixed path environments. Applications include predicting coverage from base stations and access points; determining shadowing and multipath effects from buildings, indoor floor plans, and terrain; assessing wireless backhaul solutions; evaluating channel characteristics for communication links; assessing radar propagation; and many other types of analysis.

    About Remcom: Remcom provides innovative wireless propagation and electromagnetic simulation software for commercial users and U.S. government sponsors. Remcom's products are designed to work together to provide complete and accurate results when modeling propagation with real world devices in real world scenarios. Applications include antenna design, radar and scattering, EM propagation, bio/EM effects, MRI, microwave circuits, wireless communication, RFID, military and defense applications, EMC/EMI, and more. Remcom is committed to its customers' unique needs, offering flexible licensing options for installations of all sizes as well as custom engineered solutions.

  • Research Report Proves Return on Investment for Government Using Digital Communications

    Data Shows the Average Local Government Saves £1.51 Each Year for Every Digitally Connected Citizen

    LONDON, Oct. 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GovDelivery, the leading provider of cloud-based solutions enhancing the citizen experience, today announced the release of a white paper summarising the financial value of digitally connected citizens for government organisations. The research report titled Measuring the Value of a Subscriber, released officially at GovDelivery's 6th Annual UK Public Sector Communications Conference, estimates that each digitally connected citizen saves the average local authority at least £1.51 per annum.

    These figures predict that an average local authority has the ability to realise substantial savings if they invest in optimising their digital engagement strategy. The estimated yearly savings for the typical UK council was substantial:

     
    Average Size Council Estimated Savings
    County Council £256,567
    Unitary Council £87,955
    District Council £26,904

    The author of the report, Guy Dominy, is a leading public sector communication specialist with a particular focus on the planning and evaluation of digital communications. Dominy partnered with GovDelivery and 10 local UK public sector organisations to collect data and evaluate the financial value of government digital communications.

    "Public sector communicators can no longer afford to ignore the demand for financial accountability," Guy Dominy, Director and Senior Consultant at Seeing More Clearly said. "This report helps forward-thinking organisations lay the groundwork to prove the value of digital communication against the money spent building the programs."

    Having analysed feedback from more than 600 thousand digitally connected citizens invited to contribute to the research, the results provide real insight into how digital communication drives positive action and helps public organisations achieve significant cost savings.
