Actix unveils new release of Radioplan automated optimisation solution
Actix, the specialist in Network Status Management (NSM) solutions for mobile operators, has today launched its latest version of its Radioplan ACP (automatic cell planning) system, Radioplan 3.8. With several new modules and the integration of key features from the Actix Cellopt ACP product line, operators can proactively balance mobile traffic across network resources ensuring the optimum user experience and maximum network efficiency.
Benefits of the new Radioplan system include savings in capital and operational expenditure through a greater than 30 percent reduction in site count, and an 80 percent reduction in optimization process time. Actix's Radioplan solution has proven to be especially effective in radio access network sharing situations, with Actix products being used to guide the mergers of the most ambitious and complex network sharing projects in the world to date.
Customers have also enjoyed significant improvements in received pilot power and signal/noise results, and the discovery of major service-affecting faults through automatic analysis. The Actix Radioplan system is currently in use with over 50 mobile operators worldwide.
"The ability to make the most of all available network assets in the most effective manner is really a key element of a network operator's capital planning activities," said Johannes Huebner, Director of Automatic Optimization products for Actix. "By selecting the right sites and directing traffic appropriately we can help operators save an enormous amount of time and money, reducing the need for investment in overlapping or expensive new infrastructure and increasing their returns significantly."
"Actix has always been at the leading edge of automatic optimization technology, because we have worked closely with dozens of customers worldwide for more than 15 years, and our engineers and designers are the most experienced in the industry. Actix also has a long, successful track record of innovation in this field, usually being the first to market with a wide range of new ideas and technologies, and this has been recognized by a number of key patents", continued Huebner. "We believe this release of Actix Radioplan is a major step forward, and sets a new standard for ACP systems, in terms of the functional depth, breadth and reliability of the solution".
