11/03/2009 – Intelia Consultores and the Technical University of madrid (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) reach an agreement for the development of urban computational algorithms for XIRIO Online.

Intelia Consultores, S. L. and the Department of Signals, Sistems and Radiocomunications of the Technical University of Madrid have reached an agreement for the development of algorithms for planning radio in urban environments for Xirio Online. It thus extends a long history of collaboration between the two entities.

The new wireless technologies in complex urban deployments are a reality today and communication via cable is being replaced by WIFI and WIMAX technology. Wireless services requirements, anywhere in the cities, have highlighted the need for advanced planning tools for covering the phenomena produced in such environments using digital elevation models of buildings with high precision.

Currently XIRIO Online has urban precision mapping and the most common and international recognited methods of calculation. All this, together with the development of a new urban computing algorithms can satisfy the requirements of existing communications networks, and will enable the planning of these new deployments, significantly increasing computing power and versatility of the tool.

The new calculation methods will be available to XIRIO Online users from March 2010.
