Actix launches 3G UMTS Subscriber-Perceived Performance Solution Version
2.0
November 19, 2003
Actix, the provider of wireless network and service performance software,
has announced the launch of version 2.0 of its UMTS Rollout Verification
Solution (A-RVS). The solution has already been deployed by a range of
operators and infrastructure providers including Swisscom in Switzerland,
mobilkom in Austria, and 3GIS in Sweden. Both Swisscom and mobilkom launched
their commercial 3G UMTS networks this year, and 3GIS is providing the
UMTS infrastructure in rural areas for the 3G operators Vodafone and 3
in Sweden.
A-RVS enables engineers to meet the challenge of assessing subscriber-perceived
performance for wireless voice and packet data networks, and can be used
as an integral part of network rollout prior to launch and on an ongoing
basis thereafter. Version 2.0 of A-RVS adds to, and enhances the range
of features that wireless operators using Actix’ technology already benefit
from. Three of these key features include intelligence embedded into software,
pre-defined analyses, and filters.
Embedded intelligence is able to indicate to engineers potential reasons,
for example pilot pollution or a missing neighbor, for events like dropped
calls. The pre-defined analyses feature supports the generation of reports,
stateforms, queries and filters. The stateforms functionality enables
engineers to track the state of various parameters while replaying through
a log file. Engineers can also perform complex analysis of the data using
queries, and can refine the available data using filters.
Duncan Vardy, Product Manager, Actix said, “A-RVS version 2.0 is designed
to ease routine engineering tasks for network rollout. Embedded intelligence
helps to quickly identify issues such as pilot pollution, interference,
and missing neighbors. New pre-defined analyses allow users to view advanced
reporting and replay through problem voice and data calls." He adds: "Existing
customers such as mobilkom, Swisscom and 3GIS are using RVS 2.0 to reduce
rollout time and speed up the problem diagnosis/resolution cycle."
A-RVS
A-RVS streamlines and de-risks the rollout of UMTS networks during the
critical rollout phase and thereafter. The solution reduces the time required
to generate performance reports for new site or new cluster acceptance,
enables sign-off of contractually agreed performance metrics, and provides
support for all equipment vendors’ and infrastructure providers ’ data
formats on a single platform.
The solution allows regional filtering for detailed analysis per area,
the comparison of WCDMA scanner data against UMTS UE measurements, and
expertise in troubleshooting radio problems is embedded into the software.
By automating many common tasks and analyses and by embedding intelligence,
the Actix solution is able to significantly boost the productivity of
ad-hoc troubleshooting and optimization, as well as enhancing the skill
set of the engineering team.
Actix A-RVS is based on the ActixVision open architecture platform, which
includes user-definable query and open data import capabilities, so it
may be used for many other ad-hoc troubleshooting and performance analysis
tasks. Actix has embedded intelligence in the software to allow the RF
engineer to visualize specific events and understand real problems occurring
in the network.
