3. What the market is telling us....
Scalability
Customers need a more scalable product for everyday optimization that can cope with the demands of 3.5G data analysis
Workflow
Customers want a mechanism of embedding ‘best practices’ captured by sr. users into a defined workflow that can be rolled out in mass to engineering teams
Greater engineering efficiencies
Workload is rising, while engineering staffing is likely to remain constant.
Need to introduce a greater degree of automation into the ‘day in the life’ of wireless engineers
Engineering in a managed workflow

5. Actix Spotlight- Scalability for the growing demands of 3G data analysis
Actix Spotlight utilizes a desktop DB. This allows customers to:
Store up to 4GB of processed data per DB project *
Re-attach to the processed data instantly
Visualize cluster-wide KPIs (e.g. drops) for detailed analysis and seamlessly drill down into specific failure instances
3G rollout and optimization has placed a greater demand on traditional software tools as the volume of data collected is only growing, not shrinking. Engineering teams must work more efficiently. The use of scalable, workflow management tools is essential to meet this increased workload at current and future staffing levels.
* The amount of raw drive data that can be processed is dependent on the collection tool vendor and number of devices processed into the DB

6. Actix Spotlight Radio Network Investigation- Neighbour List Analyses
What is in the Neighbor Analyses ?
Provides clients with the capability to groom neighbor lists based on scanner data for sites within a user defined radius of the cell selected.
Performs Neighbor List audits for 3G→3G and 3G→2G neighbor relationships
Export results directly to a CSV file for easy import and updates directly to the switch.

7. Actix Spotlight Radio Network Investigation- Coverage Analyses
What is in the Coverage Analyses ?
Cell Footprint Analysis- Select cells in the map and determine the coverage footprint for each cell
Best Server Analysis Select cells in the map and determine where that cell is the best server
Grade of Service- Easily determine the relative grade of service as regards to EcIo and RSCP for cell(s) selected based on user defined thresholds
Cell Overspill analysis- visually determine where cells are overshooting their coverage design boundary
The design distance is configurable

8. Actix Spotlight Radio Network Investigation- Pilot Pollution Analyses
What is in the Pilot Pollution Analyses ?
Identify ‘inbound’ vs. ‘outbound’ pilot pollution and visually see the offending sectors on the map
Determine the relative degree of pollution for each cell and prioritize which cells in the network are strong candidates for down-tilts and coverage optimization
Available for both scanner and handset data

9. Actix Spotlight- Event Based Troubleshooting
Includes KPI Troubleshooting for
Low Throughput
Call Failures
Dropped Calls
Automatic qualification and problem scope classification by cause (e.g.):
Interference
Pilot Pollution
Poor UL/DL Coverage
Missing Neighbor
Drilldown in a user-defined time window around selected events and step through message level detail

10. Actix Spotlight- KPI Reporter
What is the KPI Reporter ?
Minimize workflow process breaks by reporting, troubleshooting, and optimising in a single process
Embedded analysis reports showing which metrics ‘Pass/ Fail’ against a designed benchmark
Report(s) can be tailored to suit specific metrics of the client .
