Actix committed to African 3G market

August 10, 2004

Actix, the provider of wireless network performance engineering solutions, announced that it has formed a partnership with reseller 4G Technology based in South Africa. The partnership with 4G Technology will enable Actix to more effectively service the African wireless telecommunications market, ensuring that the specific needs of Actix' African customers can be addressed at all levels by a local distributor.

Actix' wireless performance engineering solutions are entirely vendor independent and enable operators to analyze raw wireless network data from a mix of network technologies, systems and data collection solutions in fine detail. This gives an end-to-end picture of vital wireless functions and the quality of service delivery from the subscriber's perspective; it also enables engineers to "drill down" to the root cause of any deficiencies. Some of the operators using Actix' 3G solutions include: SKT Korea, FET Taiwan, Orange France, 3GIS, Hutchison 3G UK, Swisscom, Mobilkom, US Cellular, Verizon Wireless, Bell Mobility, Sprint PCS, and Qwest Wireless.

Actix already works with a range of customers in Africa, including MTN Nigeria and Safaricom in Kenya. With its suite of 2G, 2.5G and 3G radio network troubleshooting and optimization software, Actix is uniquely placed to enable African wireless operators to meet the huge requirements for voice telephony on most of the continent, in parallel with the rollout of technologies like GPRS, EDGE and UMTS in some countries.

4G Technology provides consultancy and supplies technology and solutions to African wireless network rollout, maintenance and optimisation teams. 4G will be a supplier and a point of support for all of Actix' solutions, as well as offering complimentary solutions including, scanners and specialised test and measurement equipment, and technology such as miniature cell-extenders.

Anthony Walley, Managing Director, 4G Technology said, "Actix' comprehensive suite of software solutions are highly developed and configurable, which will enable 4G to provide its customers with exactly what they require to meet their specific needs. In this way, Actix is well placed to increase its presence in Africa and assist the development of both mobile voice telephony and 2.5G and 3G services across the African continent."

Dave Wilkinson, Actix Chief Operating Officer said, "The experience of 4G's management team with respect to African telecoms and test and measurement was a compelling factor for Actix in the decision to enter into the partnership. For Actix, the ability to service customers locally is key in furthering the effectiveness of its 2G, 2.5G and 3G solutions. 4G Technology represents a knowledgeable local presence that can comprehensively deliver solutions for customers involved in the planning, rollout, troubleshooting and optimisation of wireless networks in Africa."
