Yemeni Network Improves Network Performance

Actix has announced that Spacetel Yemen has deployed it's GSM wireless performance engineering solutions to perform network benchmarking and optimization to increase Spacetel Yemen's network efficiency. Since deploying Actix' solution three months ago, Spacetel Yemen has experienced a 90% increase in the efficiency of its network optimization.

Actix' unique query functionality enables Spacetel Yemen to generate a range of customized queries to automate large parts of its drive test post processing activities. Using Actix' solution enables Spacetel Yemen's engineers to 'drill down' and identify quality and efficiency issues and improve the network, up to five times faster than was previously possible. The operator has now significantly reduced its process and analysis time from ten to fifteen days, down to around three days.

Actix software's Query functionality has enabled Spacetel Yemen to automate its reporting processes. Queries enable custom reports to be designed and accessed at any stage by Spacetel Yemen's engineering team, by simply opening the Actix software and selecting a particular query from the menu. This means that members of the engineering team do not need to be advanced Actix users to be able to utilize the solution's power and flexibility, saving time and helping to increase the engineering team's efficiency.

Jihad Kaj, Technical Director, Spacetel Yemen said, "Actix has proven to be a real bonus to the business. It not only increases the efficiency of our optimization activities, but it is also very cost effective. We use Actix solution's query functionality to generate frequency interferences matrices through to automating the identification of specific network issues such as the length of call set up time, or areas of low signal power where mobiles are hopping between neighboring base stations. This means that changes can be made to the network following an initial drive test, the drive test repeated, and the results of the changes analyzed, in the same time as it originally took to perform a single drive test and to process and analysis the data."
