BARCELONA, SPAIN – Feb. 11, 2008 – Mentum® announced today the release of its latest version of Mentum Ellipse® software which includes a series of advanced features to assist in microwave and transmission planning.

The new features in Mentum Ellipse support a microwave engineer’s requirement for detailed analysis and accurate link planning.
