Radioplan Cuts 3G Network Optimization Time by 80%

January 28, 2004

Radioplan, a supplier of 3G radio network planning, optimization, and measurement analysis solutions, announced that their commerically available WiNeS UMTS optimization solution has cut the cycle time for tuning the radio access network of a large city by over 80%.

WiNeS, a sophisticated, fully-featured 3G optimization toolset that has been developed to its current level of advanced functionality over several years, is available for use in-service today. This fact has generated immense interest in Radioplan's unique solution.

Trials with major network operators and equipment vendors have shown that Radioplan's proprietary software technology and flexible interfaces allowed for an exceptionally smooth integration of the WiNeS toolset into the deployment process, and an extremely fast turnaround time for optimized radio network configuration results.

Johannes Huebner, Radioplan's Executive Manager, commented "Radioplan's optimization solutions are designed to make life easy for our customers. By thinking about the entire optimization process and listening carefully to the needs of vendors and operators, we have removed a large chunk of time and created an enormous advantage for our partners".

Radioplan's WiNeS platform cuts redundant steps from the optimization process by bridging the gap between planning and measurement data, and by integrating the stages required into a single platform. This approach has the dual advantage of eliminating unproductive conversion stages while updating planning models with real world data. The subsequent efficiency of the system greatly accelerates the availability of data for evaluation and optimization.
