EMLAB

THE CALCULATION SOFTWARE YOU WERE WAITING FOR.

WELCOME TO EMLAB

ALDENA redefines what a calculation software can do: powerful, versatile and revolutionary, EMLAB is an ALL-IN-ONE solution, a work platform for Telecommunication Operators and Broadcasters but also a reference tool for Telecommunication Authorities.

Thanks to a real-time data evaluation, EMLAB allows users to design complex antenna systems/arrays composed by an indefinite number of elementary antennas to evaluate either the final 3D irradiation solid, the environmental impact for health purposes, and radioelectric coverage on orographic basis.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO CREATE, PLAN AND PERFORM YOUR ANTENNA SYSTEMS

EMLAB has been defined as “the calculation software tool you were waiting for” not because it is necessarily the best tool, given the plethora of alternative solutions currently on the market, but because it was developed by a company which not only manufactures antennas but also uses its own software products, and is therefore guaranteed to meet the full range of needs of professionals in the sector to best effect.

From the professional design of antenna systems, to calculation of radioelectric coverage based on 3D relief models and analysis of electromagnetic pollution: all of these processes are combined into the same platform, together with the exceptional capability of performing real-time data assessment each time an optimisation change is made.

EMLAB software is reliable and complete, USER FRIENDLY and EASY TO USE.

Our Customers are unanimously impressed by the extraordinary potential of EMLAB.

“STAND ALONE” LICENSE
EMLAB Software will be installed on a local PC/Laptop, each license is protected by a USB key. EMLAB can be installed on several PC/Laptop, the limitation is just USB key presence (It is not allowed to use a stand-alone license by Terminal Server). EMLAB database will be “local” and Microsoft SQL (free distribution), is provided with EMLAB DVD.

“SERVER” LICENSE
EMLAB Software will be installed on a server/workstation accessible via LAN from all Users. A software key protects EMLAB License and it’s defined a maximum number of concurrent EMLAB users. A service called “EMLAB License Server” manages the TOKEN distribution to each user of the EMLAB session. The “License Server” will check the number of EMLAB instances running simultaneously and, until the maximum number of instances is reached, new usage tokens will be granted. If the user tries to start EMLAB, and the maximum number of concurrent uses has already been reached, he will be notified of the impossibility to fulfil the request. The system administrator can force the closure of a “token” occupied using “EMLAB License Server management”. The EMLAB application will be installed on a server / workstation where both the “License Server” and the EMLAB DataBase are installed. Users will be able to connect in Terminal Server / Remote Desktop mode and, in this case, the calculation activities will be performed entirely on the server / workstation.

DATA BASE

EMLAB uses a Microsoft SQL Data Base platform.

Data base can be managed locally or a centralized database is allowed.

In this case, EMLAB can use multiple Microsoft SQL Server databases (also Express version, as long as Microsoft’s usage specifications are not exceeded) installed directly on a server/workstation.

It should be noted that in the case of databases used simultaneously by several users, multi-level controls are provided to avoid simultaneous overwriting of the same data (concurrent access on the same record).

MINIMUM HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Suggested minimum configuration for a “STAND ALONE” LICENSE.

O.S. : Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7

Processor: x64 Multicore / x32 Multicore

RAM Memory: at least 4 Gb

Storage: 500 GB free space

Graphic Card: at least 2Gb dedicated, OpenGL compatible

Data Base: Microsoft SQL Express 2005, free distribution (provided with EMLAB DVD Setup)

A flexible and fully Customer-oriented approach is one of the main goal in ALDENA mission.

Technical support - Help Desk - Software upgrades

We provide technical support and assistance
in the use of our software through our team
(via e-mail, telephone or remote desktop support,
during normal office hours weekdays 09.00-17.00 CET).

As far back as the early 1980s, the decision was made to establish a software division within ALDENA, which at that time was already an established and well-reputed manufacturing firm. Experience and professionalism combined with passion and enthusiasm have always been the driving force behind the ALDENA team.

Today our experience translates into innovative, high-quality software products with certified reliability, which ALDENA has developed and constantly improved for over 25 years; products which today represent the de facto standard in the sector.

It was in 1984 that our first product was developed by Giacomo Guardini and Giuseppe Napoli in the DOS environment.
In the 1990s the accumulated experience and specialist expertise of ALDENA and Giacomo Guardini paved the way for a joint venture with CCIR/UIT, culminating in the creation of the FMTVANT software tool.
In 1995 the prestigious “WINDOWS FOR ITALY” award became the first in a succession of national and international accolades garnered by the ALDENA team.
The SR (RADIATING SYSTEMS) series, better known as SR4, was the first ever professional product for the design of antenna systems. Thanks to SR software, many operators in the sector have been able to increase their level of professionalism by gaining an in-depth understanding of the electrical operation of compound antenna systems.
The NFA (NEAR FIELD ANALYZER) series, which was first developed in 1999, has become the most widespread software solution for evaluating the environmental impact of transmitting antennas.

Our programs for the design of radiating systems and for assessing the electromagnetic impact of transmitting antennas are today used throughout the world.

Building on the success of SR4 and NFA3D, ALDENA has developed its latest software product, EMLAB.


EMLAB heralds a new era in the design of antenna systems for radio and television broadcasting and telecommunications: it is the first software tool for the calculation of electromagnetic fields which includes both the design of radiating systems, the evaluation of their electromagnetic impact, and coverage forecasts based on 3D relief modelling!
Owing to its modular and flexible structure, EMLAB is continually expanded and upgraded with a view to making it an even more essential instrument for telecommunication professionals.

EMLAB wins the Ecohitech Award 2008
Since 1998, Ecohitech is most prestigious award which honour companies who have demonstrated eco-friendly results in hi-tech fields such as electronics, electrotechnics and ICT. ALDENA won the prize in the category titled "SERVICES” with EMLAB software. ALDENA has been choose by authoritative jury composed by members from world institution academy and business.
