Dobson Cellular Systems Selects Actix's Frequency Planning and Network Optimization Solutions to Enhance Network Quality, Maximize Spectrum Efficiency.RESTON, Va. -- Second largest independent rural wireless provider in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. will employ Actix's CellOpt for GSM/GPRS and TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) A satellite and cellular phone technology that interleaves multiple digital signals onto a single high-speed channel. For cellular, TDMA triples the capacity of the original analog method (FDMA). wireless networks Actix, the global provider of wireless network performance engineering solutions, today announced that Dobson Cellular Dobson Cellular Systems, Inc., is a wireless telecommunications provider in several regions of the United States, including Alaska, Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Systems -- a subsidiary of Dobson Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:DCEL DCEL Doubly-Connected Edge List DCEL Direct Current Electro-Luminescent ) -- has chosen Actix's CellOpt AFP (1) (AppleTalk Filing Protocol) The file sharing protocol used in an AppleTalk network. In order for non-Apple networks to access data in an AppleShare server, their protocols must translate into the AFP language. See file sharing protocol. for automatic frequency planning for its GSM/GPRS and TDMA wireless networks. Operating under the Cellular One and Dobson Cellular Systems trade names, Dobson serves 1.6 million subscribers, in more than 60 U.S. wireless markets in 16 states, making it the second largest independent rural wireless provider in the United States. "Actix's solutions are specifically designed for today's wireless environment which requires carriers, like Dobson, to provide increased service quality while adding new technologies and lowering overall costs," said Richard L.

Richard Louis Evans (b. March 23 1906, Salt Lake City, Utah – November 1 1971) was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the The Church of Jesus , General Manager of Actix's Americas operations. "Using Actix CellOpt, Dobson's network engineers will be able to make better use of available spectrum, achieve maximum service quality, capacity, and coverage, which creates a better overall customer experience without over-capitalizing the network." Actix CellOpt AFP enables Dobson engineers to automate frequency-planning tasks for its GSM/GPRS network retunes. It also enables engineers to efficiently plan and implement spectrum reallocation Noun 1. reallocation - a share that has been allocated again allocation, allotment - a share set aside for a specific purpose 2. reallocation to accommodate data services and new technologies. Dobson will use CellOpt AFP to maximize ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). on existing and future network capital expenditures; to automate engineering tasks to continuously improve network quality, capacity, coverage and revenue; and to analyze real world drive-test data and switch-collected measurements to achieve realistic interference models. "Actix's CellOpt AFP tool will give Dobson the ability to frequency plan our network more efficiently than ever before, thus allowing us to meet operational performance targets while minimizing investments in new infrastructure," said Tim Duffy, senior vice president and chief technical officer. "Using CellOpt AFP, we can improve the overall customer experience by enhancing both network quality and capacity."
