Maximize engineering productivity through

automation and managed workflow

Todays performance optimization and

troubleshooting processes are typically
inefficient, costly, and error prone.
Engineering teams commonly use disparate
tools that are poorly integrated lacking the
automation and scalability fundamental for
rolling out and maintaining complex
wireless networks. Actix Spotlight lowers
the overall cost of performance
optimization by delivering maximum
engineering productivity in a managed
workflow.
Designed by optimization engineers, for
optimization engineers, Actix Spotlight
identifies key performance indicators,
provides automated root-cause
troubleshooting, coverage and interference
identification, and concise reporting.
Engineers can solve and report on more
problems faster by eliminating time
consuming data manipulation and
manual deduction

Actix Spotlights Missing Neighbor Analyses grooms 3G-3G and 3G-2G neighbor lists based on scanner
data for sites falling within a user defined radius.

Key features

Available for HSDPA, UMTS, CDMA/ EVDO, GSM/EGPRS,

Spotlight is a scalable, desktop solution designed for accelerating
network deployment, pre and post launch optimization and
resolution of ongoing Quality of Service issues.

Actix Spotlights features include:

Radio Network Analyses
Coverage & Overspill Analysis: Determines the coverage
footprint of cells and identifies overshoot against coverage
design boundaries.
Grade of Service: Easily ascertains the relative grade of service
for cell(s) selected based on user defined thresholds.
Pilot Pollution: Automatically identifies inbound vs. outbound
pilot pollution. Prioritizes which cells in the network are strong
candidates for tilts and coverage optimization.
Neighbor list Analyses: Grooms 3G-3G and 3G-2G neighbor
lists based on scanner data for sites falling within a user
defined radius.
Actix Spotlights powerful map visualization makes cell footprint, overspill, and
grade of service analysis easy to facilitate performance impacting decisions.

Event-based troubleshooting
Automated root cause diagnostics for the most common
subscriber problems (e.g. dropped calls).
Reporting
Integrated, professional quality reports including embedded maps.
