Arieso Releases Updated Network Planning Tool

Published on: 2nd March 2009

Network optimisation vendor, Arieso has announced the release of version 4.5 of its Automatic Cell Planning solution, ariesoACP. Amongst a number of new features, the ariesoACP 4.5 release includes a pilot pollution KPI. Pilot pollution is one of the biggest problems in UMTS and cdma2000 networks. Explicitly considering the pilot pollution KPI in the automatic optimisation process will allow operators to produce network plans that address head-on its impact on network quality and the subscriber experience.

Shirin Dehghan, CEO, Arieso, commented: "Our ariesoACP software has been very successful since we first launched it, saving operators as much as 30% on their CapEx budgets. We have taken on board customer feedback and combined that with innovative ideas from our designers and developers to deliver the most accurate, easy to use and effective automatic optimisation solution on the market today. In today's economic climate, operators need to minimise spend while deriving maximum value from their networks. The options available in ariesoACP 4.5 ensure that savings are made and that, where investment is critical, every penny spent will have a measurable impact on increasing revenue and reducing churn."

ariesoACP 4.5 also includes a soft/softer handover KPI to enable operators to more effectively optimise UMTS and cdma2000 networks - the percentage of calls in soft/softer handover is often ignored during planning and optimisation, despite the related design guidelines. With ariesoACP 4.5, operators can more effectively target the required percentage of calls in soft/softer handover, ensuring that network quality and capacity are not compromised and that no undue expenditure is incurred.

This release also extends ariesoACP's high-speed data modeling capabilities and now includes enhanced HSxPA modeling for UMTS HSxPA networks.

The ariesoACP 4.5 is available now.
