iBwave Private Networks Technical Specifications

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

1. INTRODUCTION

Smooth and rapid operation of iBwave Private Networks is highly dependent on Boost Clock Speed of the processor, the number of cores, and the amount of RAM in the system. For highly complex designs involving a large surface area, high number of transmitters, and number of wireless services, the Recommended specifications listed in this document are meant to provide the best experience for users attempting to build accurate designs through rapid iterations of designing and predicting the system.

2. RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS

The following table describes the minimum and recommended specifications of iBwave Private Networks. A Recommended system is one that can reliably execute complex designs over large venues with numerous transmitters and large square footage.

Recommended Specifications will offer the highest performance while offering similar results in terms of execution time for a single user.

	Desktop Minimum	Recommended
	Desktop Minimum	Laptop (Mobile CPUs)	Desktop	Cloud
Processor	Intel Core i5 AMD Ryzen 5	Intel Core i7 AMD Ryzen 7	Intel Core i9 AMD Ryzen 9	Intel XEON Platinum AMD EPYC 9xx4
CPU Clock Speed	4+ GHz Boost Clock	4+ GHz Boost Clock	5+ GHz Boost Clock	3.40 GHz
Core	6+ Performance Cores	6+ Performance Cores	8+ Performance Cores	128 Cores
Operating System	Win 10 Pro, 64 bits, x64- base processor	Win 10 Pro, 64 bits, x64- base processor	Win 11 Pro, 64 bits, x64- base processor	Windows Server 2022
RAM	16 GB DDR4/DDR5	16 GB DDR4/DDR5	128 GB DDR5	256 GB
Storage	1TB NVME	1TB NVME	2TB NVME	2TB+
Performance (Stadium – Signal Strength)	2h30m	3h24m	1h13m	1h01m

2.1 GPU-ACCELERATED SPECIFICATIONS

When coupled with GPU acceleration using supported CUDA® operations on Nvidia® devices, there is a marked reduction in prediction times on these systems. The base computation for every prediction map is the creation of Signal Strength matrices describing the power at each point of a prediction map. Utilizing the GPU for these computations can result in further performance gains relative to the system used.

Note: CUDA GPU Acceleration is available starting in Release 22 of iBwave Private Networks for all packages of iBwave Private Networks.

	Laptop	Desktop	Cloud
System	As Recommended	As Recommended	As Recommended
NVIDIA Video Card	RTX 4070 (Mobile)	RTX 4090	A100
GPU-Accelerated Prediction Time	1h43m	28m	29m

CERTIFIED NVIDIA® DEVICES:

Devices that comply with a minimum of CUDA® Compute Level of 6.1 will be capable of running GPU-accelerated predictions (see the following table - https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus). Of these devices only the following devices have been internally tested for use with CUDA® Accelerated predictions:

Wi-Fi ADAPTERS

All Wi-Fi adapters are supported

Advanced Support
The following adapters include support for channel filtering and custom scan rate:

* iBwave Private Networks does not allow the usage of multiple simultaneous Terminal Server sessions.

* iBwave Private Networks will not run under multiple simultaneous Terminal Servers.
