The introduction of new technologies and services requires detailed analysis of the resulting impact to the existing network and an accurate estimate of the additional requirements and resources needed. Network dimensioning is a basic function performed by operators in order to reduce OpEx and deployment costs. It is likely that without the proper tools either network over-dimensioning will take place, resulting in over investment, or under-dimensioning may occur, causing dissatisfied customers and possible churn.

Ultima NDM™ identifies network bottlenecks and provides TRX configuration recommendations under given Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, reducing OpEx and deployment costs. Ultima NDM™ provides insight into the various aspects of traffic distribution among the TRX timeslots and makes recommendations for improvement, maximizing network efficiency and performance by:
