ASSET(Aircom) vs Planet(Marconi) - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I hear that Asset is actually scaling down on product developments and Planet EV id based on the Dbplanner has only been recently released .. so watchout tht beta versions.

Asset has not been too great , especially if you'd need to run Oracle server and asset on the same laptop ( if u'd need this for fieldwork ) machine practically hangs and kills the batts.

Hey , you tried reviewing this product called <ATOLL> from Forsk ?
I've been using this for more than a year and have little complains so far , i hear they are adopted in Alcatel , Nortel and huawei...

It also imports the entire Planet 2.8 site database etc. Aircom and Planet maps works and plenty of other formats.supports CDMA IS-95 , 2000 and oso on the 450 Mhz

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
