Actix Analyzer Professional offers a tried
and tested approach to improving the
performance of a wireless network and
enhancing the customer’s service
experience. From RF fine-tuning to
network troubleshooting and optimization,
Actix Analyzer Professional allows users to
take control of engineering processes and
to transform an engineering organization
to gain competitive advantage.
With its built-in process management
capability Actix Analyzer Professional
empowers expert engineers and makes
businesses even more competitive.
By working with over 200 operators,
leading vendors and 90% of 3G operators
worldwide, Actix is able to find solutions to
the most difficult performance engineering
challenges and this knowledge is then
embedded into the software.
Actix empowered engineers can build on
this unrivalled knowledge-bank using
processes and KPIs focused on an
organization’s unique set of challenges and
business goals. And once best-practice
engineering is established (and later
evolves), it can be shared throughout an
engineering organization ensuring
consistency and reliability, and faster
network testing.

• Standardized processes across teams and regions

With an expert’s processes embedded in Actix Analyzer
Professional, all front-line radio engineers can test the network
in a consistent and repeatable manner, bringing best-practice
engineering within the test organization, reducing tool and
process training, increasing productivity, and cutting the
cost of testing.

• One network view: multi-technology and multi-vendor

Actix Analyzer Professional performs across multiple network
technologies such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, UMTS,
EVDO and HSDPA, service protocols, test devices and
infrastructure formats, giving a single, unified view
of the network.

• Adaptability as challenges evolve

Actix Analyzer Professional can be configured in a range of
ways that makes sense to evolving engineering organization
and resources. New analysis techniques and processes
that have been identified and defined by an organization’s
technology specialists can be captured and shared
with colleagues.

2 Benchmarking
Receive crucial network performance insights – fast
Actix Analyzer Professional reveals how a network is really
performing. Ideal for benchmarking, it provides a convenient,
impartial comparison of network quality, even among networks using
different technologies such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, UMTS,
EVDO and HSDPA. It enables visibility of network performance and
trends across regions, vendors and competitors and in addition offers
the ability to drill down from a network-wide view to root-cause
detail in seconds. By streamlining workflow and making better use of
quality data the cost of drive-test collection is significantly reduced.
3 Priority location testing
Establish focused processes when and where it matters most
When there is a need to maximize roaming revenue, ensure key
services are coping in high traffic areas to guarantee performance,
Actix Analyzer Professional can be used to create a set of highly
focused, automated processes. Indoor marker interpolation, and
highly configurable voice and data KPIs enable users to create
a standard automated test for specific situations – whether it’s
for airport, train station, indoor, traffic hotspots or walk-tests.
4 Mobile Device Testing
Handset usage is growing worldwide: don’t get drowned
in testing
• For vendors rolling out handsets supporting cutting edge
Technology, Actix Analyzer Professional can eliminate the need
for time-consuming manual troubleshooting as it enables users to:
• Automate the analysis for operator specific or standardized
test cases
• Fine-tune test cases for newer handsets and chipsets
• Rapidly modify test analyses for RF, Voice, Data and
IP applications
• For operators testing more and more handset models against
networks, Actix Analyzer Professional allows the cost of
launching new devices to be reduced by streamlining the testing
process and ensuring complex new capabilities are working
properly. It enables users to:
• Create quantitative, repeatable test analysis modeling
consumer perception
• Accelerate problem investigation by correlating data from
underlying layers
• Be vendor independent regardless of choice of network
or handset supplier
