Czech Operator Optimises its 3G Network

The Czech Republic based Eurotel has selected UK-based wireless network optimisation specialists Arieso to maximise the performance of its new 3G network, which went live at the start of December. Eurotel will use Arieso's pioneering algorithm-based product Altaro to optimize its 3G network, which includes the HSDPA technology upgrade, in order to deliver the best possible levels of service to its subscribers.

Altaro uses unique algorithm technology to process network performance data from multiple sources, including network planning tools, switch counters and drive-testing solutions. Altaro combines this data alongside elements such as base site location, power levels, antenna type, direction and tilt, to automatically generate a network configuration whose performance best meets the parameters set by the operator. For operators, Altaro is the most cost-effective solution to enable the best possible coverage, traffic capacity and quality of service for 2G, 2.5G and 3G mobile networks for least cost.

Commenting on Arieso's appointment, Pavel Kolár, Chief Network Officer of Eurotel Praha said, "All of us at Eurotel are committed to the success of our 3G service. To achieve this goal we wanted to select a network optimisation tool that would quickly establish 3G service of a high quality. From the suppliers in our tender we selected Arieso because Altaro fully met our expectations. We are close to UMTS launch and Altaro helps us to optimise our growing initial network so that we can offer our customers the sort of attractive services and reliability necessary for 3G."

Earlier this year, Arieso announced a contract with UK network operator O2 to optimise its 3G network.
