Often called "mapping software," it links attributes and characteristics of an area to its geographic location. )-based supervision and optimization tool which will complement ADC's Metrica Service Assurance solutions by setting performance management information in its geographical context. This new tool will be showcased at the GIS Conference in London (Stand No. 10), June 26 - 27, 2000. Metrica/Chartis for GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) A digital cellular phone technology based on TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but also used worldwide. Developed in the 1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992. enables operators to visualize performance and quality. It condenses the hundreds of megabytes of performance data that are generated every day and allows users to view network performance information on a wide variety of detailed maps, as time-based graphs, or as cell configuration parameters. Metrica/Chartis displays statistics, expressed in a user-defined time frame, which can then be related to the changing picture of service quality improvement or degradation. Network coverage and capacity maps can be overlaid o·ver·laid v. Past tense and past participle of overlay1. to enable multiple relationships to be understood and analyzed. Setting this vital information in the context of a map can help reveal the causes of, for example, capacity problems or poor quality. The relationships which can be analyzed using this innovative product will assist GSM operators in making decisions on network investment, optimization, planning, site acquisition, configuration and marketing. Metrica/Chartis's accurate and detailed performance information and analysis capabilities, set in this geographic context, provide a comprehensive overview of the entire network. This will enable network operators to identify Quality of Service and capacity problems faster and more easily, allowing more effective deployment of resources and greater scope for cost savings. Originally developed by Swiss mobile operator Swisscom, Metrica/Chartis addresses the real issues that network operators face. Patrick Weibel, head of GSM Performance Management at Swisscom, said "By using this solution, Swisscom has managed to treble treble, highest part in choral music, thus corresponding in pitch to soprano, but associated with the voice of a boy or a girl. The term appeared in 15th-century English polyphony, probably as an anglicization of the Latin triplum, its network capacity over the past three years, reaching a current total of over 6,000 cells in a country just over 40,000 square kilometers. It has allowed Swisscom to achieve a high degree of network optimization without additional manpower, thus achieving a real cost saving. Users have discovered that they can identify network quality and capacity problems faster and more easily." "Metrica/Chartis complements other Metrica Service Assurance solutions such as Metrica/NPR within the ADC Singularit.e OSS framework," said David Heaps, senior vice president and general manager, ADC Software Systems Division. "This solution offers GSM operators a flexible, easy-to-use tool which assists in network optimization and provides answers to the questions that matter most to operators."
