Press Release Summary:
With color-coded distance analysis, multi-segment distance list, and ability to send analyses to file, Cellopt AFP v3.8 provides support for daily maintenance activities and optimizing aspects of network planning. Cellopt MDA v2.9, offered as compliment to Cellopt AFP, processes and analyzes subscriber-based data to enable seamless frequency planning - from scheduling of measurements in network to collection, processing, and analysis of data.
Original Press Release:
Actix Releases Enhanced Cellopt Automated Frequency Planning Products
Enhancements to Cellopt AFP and Cellopt MDA enables mobile operators' network engineers to focus on roll-out of next generation networks.
London, 23 November 2007 - Actix, the category leader in Network Status Management (NSM) solutions for mobile operators, today announced further enhancements to Actix Cellopt AFP, Actix' widely used automatic frequency planning solution and Actix Cellopt MDA, a system that processes and analyses subscriber-based data.
Cellopt AFP 3.8 includes numerous feature enhancements to ensure carriers and their engineers can approach frequency planning with even more ease, by providing further support for daily maintenance activities and optimising even more of the tedious, but often time consuming, aspects of network planning. Today Cellopt AFP is employed in more than 100 wireless markets in over 30 countries, and is one of the world's most trusted automatic frequency planning solutions.
Cellopt MDA compliments Cellopt AFP to enable seamless frequency planning, from the scheduling of measurements in the network through to collection, processing and analysis of the data. The new release of Cellopt MDA 2.9 includes the addition of two new features to enhance the management of data lists and ensure the accuracy of subscriber-based data.
"As today's mobile operators migrate to next generation networks, their engineering teams are tasked with deploying and managing wider and more complex radio access network (RAN) technologies, while maintaining competitive quality and coverage demands in existing 2G networks. These latest enhancements to Cellopt AFP and Cellopt MDA not only help carriers effectively rollout, optimize and manage their 2G RAN technologies, they also deliver significant savings on both network infrastructure investments and precious engineering time," commented Ivan Harris Chief Product Officer, Actix. "Actix is fully committed to delivering best-in-class automatic optimization systems to existing and future customers, and the Actix Cellopt line is one of the cornerstones
of our product portfolio."
About the product enhancements:-
Cellopt AFP 3.8
o Distance in color code analysis
Color code analysis detail reports show the distance in meters between conflicting sectors.
o Multi-segment distance list
It is now possible to specify more than one function for the C0 values.
o Save frequency analysis
The settings to configure a frequency analysis can now be stored under a name. This simplifies especially if pivoting on many categories.
o Send analysis to file
In order to allow for very large reports to be generated, a frequency analysis can be sent to file instead of to the screen. For example, it is now generally possible to generate reports based on pivoting on sector and sectorR. It also applies to color code, HSN & MAIO, and list analysis.
o User-defined layers in detailed analysis
An option has been added to the frequency analysis to always show all user-defined layers in the detailed reports, even if none of them has been pivoted on.
o Making assignments from any plan
Using the Radio Editor, the frequencies can now be assigned to values from any frequency plan stored in the project. Previously it was only possible to make assignments to the current and old plans. It also applies to color codes, HSN and MAIO.
o Preferred option for join lists
A new statistics operation, called Preferred List, has been added to the list join. It allows for specifying which list to take the statistics from, in the case that a relation exists in more than one list.
o Percentage used for adjacency scaling in distance list
The adjacency scaling for the distance list calculation is now specified as a percentage.

o Interference List Merge
A new feature allows relations from two lists to be merged. Layers can be specified to indicate which sectors' relations should be taken from each list. This choice can be fine-tuned at the per-sector and per-relation level. The process is guided by detailed statistical reports including correlation calculations.
o Interference Reuse
Interference reuse allows the lifetime of measured lists to be extended by estimating modifications due to network changes. The new values are calculated by comparing predicted values before and after the change, and extrapolating any differences to a change to the measured list value.
