DesignWAVE
DesignWAVE is a unique SaaS solution offered by Optimos International that uses proprietary software (DesignWAVE Sculptor) and hardware (transmitters and receivers) to collect RF information from all existing and proposed antennas locations. By using this data in DesignWAVE Planner we are able to sculpt the RF network with an accuracy that no other tool can match. It’s a RF Propagation tool that works with measured data, not predictions. Our approach has been proven by independent measurements… but seeing is believing. There is no other tool than can match our ability to reduce SiNR and Design or Optimize highly efficient RF networks.
DesignWAVE DAS
Step 1 – We deploy up to 256 portable, battery operated transmitters at existing or proposed antenna locations.
Step 2 – Collect CW-type measurements using our proprietary receivers (any existing signals, e.g. Macro Network, are collected at the same time).
Step 3 – We import the data into our proprietary DesignWAVE Sculptor where we are able to apply a highly accurate antenna masking algorithm to the measured data.
DesignWAVE MACRO
Step 1 – Collect CW-type measurements using a typical network scanner. This can be done either by Optimos or anyone else.
Step 2 – We Import the data into our proprietary DesignWAVE tool where we are able to apply a highly accurate antenna masking algorithm to the measured data.
Step 3 – We sculpt the RF network. No more trial and error – you can actually see the impact on the measured data and be 100% confident in the changes.
We apply the principle of “measure twice, cut once” to RF design and optimization.

Is Optimos DesignWAVE the same as CW Testing?
No, although the collected data is similar to the data that is collected from a CW Transmitter and can be used in a similar way. We can measure multiple test transmitters simultaneously along with the macro, which gives us the ability to show SiNR plots along with the other standard plots.
Do the multiple TX devices operate on the same frequency or is there a need for frequency diversity during data collection?
The multiple transmitters operate on the same frequency (configurable per TX). The key to being able to do this is the proprietary code that is generated by each TX and received by the scanner. The units are small enough to locate multiple at each location thereby allowing us to model multiple bands simultaneously.
If multiple TX’s use the same frequency, what noise floor limit can you measure?
The limit is 19dB below the strongest signal.
Can I import the tuned models into any standard propagation tool?
Yes. The collected data can be used to tune standard propagation models.
