2/11

What is Asset ACP? The Asset ACP has been designed to support the day to day planning work

that is typically performed by planning engineers

planning activities like Antenna subsystem configuration

Power settings design

Asset ACP utilises the full extend of the mathematical optimisation algorithmsin Advantage.

It is designed to be simple to use while still delivering the full ACP capability.

The value is in delivering the ACP benefits to a user base that do not need toutilise the advanced concepts.

All planners can benefit from:

Typically 10% improvements in both coverage and quality performance

and all that is available with fewer than 10 mouse clicks

Ver close inte ration with Asset to allow eas data transfer and anal sis of

What is Asset ACP? A module designed to support a simpler user workflow. But also provides a complete capability and maintains full control of what the user does

It is designed to support the day to day planning activities like site integration

Uses Automation to set up the optimisation Automatic identification of sites to include

Automatic identification of the area to target

Easily accessible

from AssetOptimisation is linked

to the 2d view


to start the optimisation


4/11

What is Asset ACP? Simple tabular interface for the set up of the constraints

User definable columns to eliminate unwanted columns

Utilises Fully the local constraints in the planning database

Visual feedback and Error checking to minimise mistakes

Preset templates easing constraint set up and ensuring consistent treatment

What is Asset ACP?

Optimisations are linked

to the 2d view

Simple interface to trackprogress

Asset Statistics can beused to appreciateperformance

Detailed views of actions

Easy to store and analyseintermediate plans

capability of the Advantagesearch algorithms

Performance can be


tracked by Asset stats


6/11

What is Asset ACP?

Extensive reporting capability within the ACP component to determine thetype and amount of changes

Comparison arrays can be generated and assessed with the ACP

What is Asset ACP?

Simple one button Apply/Un-apply allow access to the full Asset analysiscapability. This minimises user effort and simplifies analysis and reporting since plans are

Why Asset ACP?

Operational Benefits Design efficiency is maximised - More with less-

A single engineer can plan more than 800 sites a day with minimal effort

It is 8 times faster than the planning networks manually with typically better RSS and C/I by atleast 5-10%

It is more practical and time and resource efficient to do whatif analysis

The added complexity of designing Radio networks can be managed easier

Automatic optimisation can accurately account for interference management very efficiently

Optimum Site integration in existing plans in only minutes away Automated identification of affected sites and area sim lifies new site inte ration

Automatic optimisation of simple clusters can be performs in minutes

Quick response to changing conditions

New plans are needed due to changes in planning, operational and Business Environment

Fully incorporated in planning environment

Minimal effort to load and start optimisations. In Asset ACP it will take less than 3mins to startan optimisation



10/11

Why Asset ACP?

Performance Benefits

in the planning environment

Aircom has seen hundreds of scenarios that demonstrate these typicalimprovements in over 50 customers worldwide

Better Initial plans mean better results in the network

Swisscom have experienced measured performance improvements of more

than 8% for both RSSI and Ec/Io

the network

In test cases for UMTS as much as 40% more capacity has been madeavailable

In GSM as little as 46% of the spectrum is required to dliever the samecapacity and performance

Better Coverage performance means fewer sites need to be deployed


performance


11/11

Why Asset ACP?

Financial Benefits

More traffic captured/served the added potential traffic revenue captured in a medium size network (3000

sites corres onds to almost 300 additional earl revenue

Fewer Sites are needed

In a reference area with 41 sites (124 cells) to achieve the same measured

improvements 4 more infill sites or 10 more Cells would be needed. s correspon s o an overa re uc on o o

This projected over a medium size network (3000 Sites) corresponds to asaving of 105Min CAPEX and 21Min OPEX

Better interference management means that the plans are more robust to traffic

changes As much as 40% more traffic can be served with same QoS without changes

in the network as traffic increases


Asset ACP can repay the investment in less than 3 months
