New 3G network optimisation software
11 June 2008
Test & Measurement
Tektronix has expanded its 3G network optimisation portfolio with the introduction of DT-Synergy, a new software application that enables enhanced productivity through improved time-to-resolution during optimisation campaigns. For network optimisation engineers, DT-Synergy combines the benefits of drive test with the network intelligence delivered by Tektronix' advanced protocol analysis solutions.
The new application enables increased network optimisation efficiency by overcoming some of the typical shortcomings of an optimisation strategy based purely on drive test campaigns. These include lack of visibility on uplink activity, poor statistical relevance of data gathered and the high operating costs associated with each campaign.
Full visibility of Uu, Iub, Iur and Iu interfaces is achieved through correlation of Network Service Analyser (NSA) sessions with drive test log files and network planning data. The call data is plotted on geographical maps while radio measurement parameters are graphically displayed. This allows for concurrent analysis and comparison of uplink and downlink events and measurements.
