mCel and AIRCOM optimise 3G in Mozambique

19 Nov 2008

AIRCOM International, an independent network planning and optimisation consultancy, announced on Tuesday, 18 November 2008, that it is working with Mozambique operator mCel to support the update of the mCel planning tools for 2G and 3G networks.

In a deal worth USD$ one million, mCel will use AIRCOM's market-leading network planning and optimisation tools ASSET and OPTIMA to plan and manage its new 3G UMTS network, which is currently being deployed.

Using the AIRCOM tools, mCel will be able to accurately plan the new network implementation, and also monitor its ongoing performance. In addition, as part of the agreement, AIRCOM will carry out measurement and model-tuning, to identify optimal configurations for specific network traffic requirements and conditions.

AIRCOM will also provide support and training for mCel engineering teams as they make the transition from GPRS to 3G.
