Introduction About the Class

Over the course of this Four-day class, you will learn how to use Mentum Planet functionality to model your LTE network.

Mentum Planet 5 is a state-of the-art RF planning software.

It allows you to create detailed models of air interfaces with support for advanced antenna systems. Also all legacy systems are supported. From HSPA+ to FDMA , all systems can be modeled in the same project
