ASIA
: Optimi,
the leader in providing mobile carriers network planning and performance
optimization solutions, announced the introduction of an advanced,
innovative suite of UMTS planning and optimization products. UMTS
("Universal Mobile Telecommunications System"), synonymous
with WCDMA radio access technology, is the preferred technology by
more than 120 mobile licensees to support the introduction of new
Mobile Multimedia customer services.
Optimi's
UMTS product suite supports all levels of UMTS network evolution:
-- 1. For Carriers
deploying UMTS as an overlay to their existing GSM network, OPTIMI
allows mobile carriers to determine the optimal deployment of UMTS
antenna sites that ensures the lowest possible capital cost while
determining the highest level of customer quality of service.
-- 2. OPTIMI enables
existing UMTS networks to more rapidly introduce new UMTS-based services,
such a Mobile Multimedia, while ensuring that customers receive the
highest level of service quality.
-- 3. By allowing
product managers and network engineers to accurately simulate the
impact of network changes on a per sector (cell site) basis in advance,
new data services can be launched with greater service level confidence
and customer satisfaction. Carriers can now optimize their networks
on per sector basis to meet specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
"We
achieve this new level of network planning and optimization through
an innovative process of network modeling and simulation. We have
developed a highly accurate capability that enables network engineers
to simulate the impact of changes on the network in advance of implementing
costly optimization plans," said Chief Product Officer, Mr. Juan
Manuel Melero of Optimi. "Our UMTS products enable mobile networks
to efficiently improve network quality on a cell-site/ sector basis.
Engineers can now fine tune service performance on a network-wide
basis or on a more selective geographical sector basis. This unique
flexibility is a major Optimi product advantage," concluded Mr.
Melero.
