Mobilkom Optimizing its 3G Network

mobilkom austria sasy that it is now using the optimization tool, Capesso from Symena. The ability to optimize mobile technologies UMTS, EDGE and GSM through this software is beneficial to mobilkom austria in fulfilling its pact with Carinthia, Burgenland and Lower Austria. With mobilkom austria's purchase of Capesso optimization software from Symena, the contract concluded provides the option of employing this tool in the international subsidiaries of the mobilkom austria group in Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Liechtenstein as well.

The software is already in use in Austria.

Optimization of mobile networks plays an increasingly important role due to the interoperability between the various systems. For this reason, mobilkom austria has opted for the solution offered by Symena. "With the Capesso software, UMTS-, EDGE- and GSM-standard mobile networks can be planned and optimized even more efficiently. This solution simplifies the selection of locations for base stations and allows the many parameters at the transmission locations, such as antenna configuration, to be calculated more effectively. Capacity is maximized and possible interference is minimized. As a result, A1 customers benefit from even higher network quality," says Ulrich Rokita, Division Manager Network Planning, mobilkom austria, explaining the advantages of the new optimization software.

"Most important to mobilkom austria is the increase in actual network capacity and quality. Particularly the Capesso's ability to jointly optimize mobile technologies UMTS and GSM in future is beneficial to mobilkom austria in fulfilling its pact with Carinthia, Burgenland and Lower Austria," concludes Rokita."
