Aircom Introduces ASSET Suite 26.1 to Transform How Radio Network Engineers Work
New release brings greater flexibility, faster analysis, and streamlined workflows across radio planning, network optimization, and backhaul engineering.
FAIRFAX, VA, USA, November 12, 2026: Aircom, a leading provider of radio network planning, optimization, and autonomous network solutions to communications service providers (CSPs) worldwide, today announced the release of ASSET Suite 26.1, introducing enhancements that change how radio network engineers execute and manage complex planning activities. Spanning technology, usability, and automation, the release helps engineering teams reduce repetitive tasks, manage computationally intensive workloads, and improve efficiency across everyday network planning and optimization processes.
Across ASSET Radio, ASSET Design, ASSET Backhaul, and supporting applications, the new release addresses several practical challenges in network engineering. It enables more flexible execution of optimization tasks, accelerates propagation analysis, simplifies modifications to existing backhaul configurations, and reduces manual effort in antenna setup and reporting. Together, these enhancements help engineers manage increasingly complex planning activities with greater efficiency, consistency, and control.
“Radio network engineering is becoming increasingly demanding, not only in terms of network complexity but also in the volume of analysis and optimization required. ASSET Suite 26.1 addresses these challenges by giving engineering teams more flexibility in how they execute their work, helping them make better use of resources while maintaining control over their planning processes,” said Khurram Chaudhry, General Manager, Aircom.
What’s Changing for Radio Network Engineers
ASSET Suite 26.1 introduces several capabilities that improve the way engineers perform essential planning, analysis, and optimization tasks:
More Flexible Network Optimization (ASSET Design): Engineers can configure ACP and ASP optimization tasks locally and execute them on remote computing resources through the ASSET Distribution System. Browser-based monitoring provides visibility into progress, while results can be reviewed and incorporated into planning workflows.
Faster Propagation Analysis (APM): Performance improvements accelerate predictions, analysis, and model tuning while reducing memory consumption. Support for up to 20 parallel processes for analysis of measurements as well as comprehensive reporting enables more efficient handling of computationally intensive workloads.
Simplified Backhaul Engineering (ASSET Backhaul): Existing point-to-point links can be converted into Dual Polar, Multi Radio, or Multi Band configurations without rebuilding them. Enhanced capacity and availability calculations, together with improved reporting capabilities, support more efficient link planning and assessment.
Reduced Manual Antenna Configuration (ASSET Radio): The Auto Beamset Utility now supports Nokia switched beam antennas in addition to Ericsson and Huawei, simplifying beamset creation and reducing the potential for configuration errors.
Greater Consistency and Control: Reusable backhaul report templates, antenna configuration history with rollback, and subproject-specific editing permissions improve repeatability, traceability, and control over engineering data.
Improving the Everyday Engineering Experience
The value of these enhancements extends beyond individual functions. By reducing manual intervention, enabling more effective use of computing resources, and simplifying recurring engineering activities, ASSET Suite 26.1 helps operators improve productivity across their network planning teams.
“Many engineering improvements come from removing the small inefficiencies that accumulate across daily workflows. Whether it is modifying an existing backhaul link, generating antenna beamsets, or running multiple propagation analyses, our focus has been on making these activities faster, simpler, and more manageable for engineers,” said Krassimir Vassilev, Product Director, RAN Planning Suite, Aircom.
The release also includes usability improvements across ASSET Radio, ASSET Backhaul, ARRAYWIZARD, and ASSET GEO, alongside the introduction of Azure Maps as the suite’s online map provider.
With ASSET Suite 26.1, Aircom continues to advance its RAN planning platform by addressing the practical demands of modern network engineering, helping operators manage complex networks with greater flexibility, productivity, and operational control.
