Celcite Optimising Over Million Cells

The latest agreement that Celcite has signed means that they are now managing and optimising over a million cells worldwide.

Celcite, a provider of automatic optimisation tools and services for wireless networks, has just signed an agreement with a Latin American mobile operator for their COPS-Enterprise multi-technology SON software and COPS-VIPCare customer experience management software.

Under the agreement, Celcite will also provide managed services for all of the networks belonging to the operator across a number of countries in Latin America.

This new business takes the business run by Celcite to over one million cells. This, they believe is the largest number currently managed by any single management and optimisation enterprise platform.

Celcite are also bullish about further orders, and they forecast that by the end of 2012, COPS-Enterprise will managing over two million cells.

There are two Celcite COPS software packages that are used to monitor and manage mobile phone cell sites. With increases in performance being required by operators along with users demanding better performance, operators are deploying more optimisation.

The Celcite packages bring automation to the radio access network (RAN), managing day-to-day operations and the optimisation of key performance parameters. This is across a set of multi-technology networks, including 2G, 3G and LTE from several vendors for more than 400,000 individual cells.

“The operator’s decision to employ Celcite and COPS for managing and optimising its cells will give it comprehensive control of its networks, reducing costs and improving performance compared with its previous use of a patchwork of vendors’ proprietary solutions,” said Sanjay Nagdev, senior vice president for global sales at Celcite.
