Europe : Actix, the global provider of wireless network performance engineering solutions, today announced that Taiwan Cellular Corporation (TCC) has chosen to standardize on Actix’ wireless performance engineering solutions. TCC first deployed Actix’ GSM solution three years ago, and its GPRS solution one and a half years ago. TCC is now deploying Actix’ 3G solution to optimize the rollout and ongoing management of its 3G network. Taiwan is one of the most aggressive markets in rolling out 3G in Asia, and all of Taiwan’s UMTS operators are now using Actix’ 3G solutions.

Actix’ vendor independence in supporting a wide range of field measurement tools was key to TCC electing to standardize on Actix solutions. This vendor independence enables TCC to choose the best of breed and most cost-effective measurement tools available in the market. Actix' 3G solution will enable TCC to create an efficient and stable network to deliver high quality 3G service to its future 3G customers.

By standardizing its 2G and 3G network optimization on the Actix platform, TCC equips its engineers with a single, convenient and powerful tool for optimal 3G/2G hand-over, which is critical in migrating its own 2G customers to 3G, as well as attracting customers from competing networks.

Actix’ wireless performance engineering solutions are entirely vendor independent and enable operators to analyze raw wireless network data from a mix of network technologies, systems and data collection solutions in fine detail. This gives an end-to-end picture of vital wireless functions and the quality of service delivery from the subscriber’s perspective; it also enables engineers to ‘drill down’ to the root cause of any deficiencies.
