GTL’s benchmarking and Optimization solutions are aimed at improving the performance of an operators network, post the network roll out. With ever changing data traffic demands with the usage of smart phones and pressures on managing the operational costs, service providers are increasingly looking at Benchmarking and Optimization services for meeting the needs of customers and save on capital and operational expenditure.

GTL’s trained resources offer their expertise across 3G and 4G technologies for benchmarking the operators services against competition and also on optimizing the current network for increased performance.

Service offerings:

:: Network Optimisation
Verification Drive Test - With a site on air, it is necessary to check the performance of the new site. This is done through verification drive tests. The sites are checked for validating integration parameters and ascertaining call performance: call termination, call origination, handover, power control RX Quality and RX Level etc. Parametric Optimisation - Once a radio network is operational, its performance is monitored. The performance is compared against chosen key performance indicators (KPIs). After fine-tuning radio parameters, the results are applied to the network to achieve the desired performance. The main focus of radio network optimization is on areas such as power control, quality, handovers, subscriber traffic, and resource availability (and access) measurements. Periodic Monitoring & Optimisation of the Live Network throughout the Network life-cycle - Regular monitoring of the network health (new rollout and expansion) by doing drive tests and KPI maintenance.

::Network Audit, Benchmarking & IBS Planning and Design
Site Audit - Site Audit is a process that identifies discrepancies between the design and implemented network. Benchmarking Services - Benchmarking Services is a comprehensive comparative analysis that provides details on in-market analysis and network review. The service evaluates performance against competition and measures network performance using a Drive Test to examine coverage and call quality. Tests are conducted for call availability, call quality, call set up success rate and handover success rate. IBS - An indoor system can be built for different reasons. If the coverage is poor from cells outside the building, leading to bad quality, one solution can be to build an indoor system. The aim with indoor cell planning is, as for traditional cell planning, to plan for good coverage and capacity and at the same time interfere as little as possible.

:: Virtual Planning and Optimisation Centre
A unique concept of a combination of onsite and offsite model to carry out Network planning and optimization for wireless networks. It provides benefits like low fixed costs irrespective of location of project, fast delivery cycle and quick deployment of project, cost effective and flexible service packages to meet unique customer needs.
