21 September, 2009, Leatherhead, UK - AIRCOM International, the leading independent network planning and optimisation consultancy, today launched its latest management and engineering tool suite, ENTERPRISE 6.2. AIRCOM already provides over half the world’s operators with ENTERPRISE tools: with the improvements to its ENTERPRISE suite, it is anticipating the changing needs of operators.

The new features include an upgraded OPTIMA module that is capable of monitoring both fixed and IP networks – essential for operators investing in converged networks. The RANOPT module now includes functionality to incorporate indoor coverage level measurement, which is ideal for operators who want to roll out 3G femtocell home base stations across their network. Meanwhile, for those operators taking the evolutionary path towards LTE, the ASSET module now supports HSPA+.

ENTERPRISE 6.2 delivers a clear and comprehensive breakdown of network performance by aggregating the outputs of radio planning, drive test analysis, performance and management tools. Any necessary remedial action can then be taken through the suite’s configuration management capability. Using this single platform, operators can maximise staff productivity through eradicating the need to input data repeatedly across multiple tools.

Users can purchase ENTERPRISE as standalone products or as part of the total network planning and optimisation suite, allowing them to select the ideal combination of modules to complement their network optimisation requirements. ENTERPRISE 6.2’s ease of deployment, coupled with user-friendly interfaces, makes it the tool of choice for mobile operators worldwide looking to gain true insight into their network, without the unnecessary complexity.

Commenting on the launch of ENTERPRISE 6.2, Margaret Rice-Jones, CEO of AIRCOM International, said, “The thinking behind ENTERPRISE 6.2 is very simple – better visibility of the network, whether in the planning or application stage, promotes improved situation awareness, so that problems can be identified and solved earlier and more efficiently. We have designed this suite to support operators in every facet of their network planning, now and in the future.”
