Swisscom Mobile Selects Actix’ Network Optimization Solutions for
3G Networks
May 5, 2003
Actix, a provider of wireless network and service performance software,
has announced that Swisscom Mobile (part of Vodafone Group) has selected
to deploy Actix’ Rollout Verification Solution (RVS) for its UMTS
network. Swisscom will now be deploying Actix' RVS to all its regions.
By using Actix’ solutions across all of its networks, Swisscom is
able to embed key processes into software, significantly improving the
productivity of engineering teams, leading to reduced operational expenses
for Swisscom and improved Quality of Service (QoS) for its subscriber
base of 3.6 million people, said the company.
Actix’ UMTS RVS technology is currently being used by Swisscom to
verify its 3G Radio Access Network (RAN) infrastructure, and will continue
to be used throughout the pre-commercial phases of rollout, as well as
to verify and troubleshoot service levels of the commercially launched
network.
Through its A-platform open architecture and ability to process enormous
amounts of data, Actix’ UMTS RVS solution allows Swisscom’s
engineers to visualize the massive amounts of test data generated from
multiple testing and data gathering tools. Actix RVS enables operators
and vendors to embed complex infrastructure acceptance processes into
software, reducing the cost of performing acceptance, providing an impartial
platform for verifying rollouts, and accelerating the time to acceptance
and subsequent launch of services.
Swisscom will also use Actix’ Actix Radio Link Analysis solution
(RLAS) solution to optimize handovers that will occur between its 2G and
3G networks, and to continue to optimize the performance of the GSM radio
network.
Michael Schmocker, Senior Engineer, UMTS Performance Management, Swisscom,
said, “Almost all the hardware and software technology involved in
deploying a UMTS 3G network has been developed recently, which makes it
more challenging than deploying a 2.5G network. When working with such
a wide range of new technologies, it is critical to be able to interpret
the data being generated by the network and captured by a variety of data
gathering tools.” Schmocker continues, “While Actix’ solutions
are functionality-rich, they can also be used straight out of the box.
Actix’ UMTS product portfolio has been developed from a base of understanding
that exists from the company’s previous and ongoing development of
its GSM and GPRS products. It is an established product that does not
have basic functionality difficulties that many of the other newer tools
have.”
