Judges reaction: "An initiative that tackles the 3G network quality issue head-on - an area that operators must address"
PRESS RELEASE From 3GSM World Congress: 3GSM World Congress, Barcelona, Wednesday 14th February: CommProve, the world-leading provider of mobile network radio Quality of Service (QoS)
monitoring, has won the GSM Association Global Mobile Award for Best Network Quality Initiative.
The Award, for CommProve's Netledge(tm) 3G Radio QoS, was announced at the 3GSM World Congress Technology Symposium in Barcelona. Netledge was the choice of the international panel of experts whose judgement was based on demanding criteria that included the ability of the solution to enhance the service quality of the network, and the level of capacity and efficiency gains.
Rob Conway, CEO of the GSM Association, said: "Achieving success in the global mobile industry requires a combination of innovation, expertise, tenacity and confidence - but the key ingredient is a knowledge of what the market needs to move forward the new mobile era. The 2007 winners are recognised as having turned that knowledge into practical services and solutions that capture mobile users' needs. My congratulations on behalf of the GSMA - we wish you every continued success."
Netledge is the only permanent, network-wide monitoring system for 3G radio networks. It attacks coverage gaps, dropped calls, low data rates and inadequate voice quality: all symptoms of poor radio network performance. These problems directly cause customer dissatisfaction, reduced service usage and lost revenue.
Enrico Andreini, founder and CTO, CommProve, said: "We are delighted that the 3G network quality enhancements our Netledge solution delivers to network operators have been recognized. W-CDMA is the most complex radio technology ever deployed for mass mobile communication, and 2G/3G
handovers and HSDPA further increase the complexity. Traditional quality management methods, like drive testing and network element statistical counters, are inadequate.
"Netledge makes every network user a "drive tester". All active handsets generate radio quality measurements, and Netledge captures and analyses these measurements to provide the most comprehensive service quality reports available, leading to better configuration decisions and
improved network performance."
CommProve and Netledge can been seen at the 3GSM World Congress in Hall 1, Stand H39.
