London, UK. May 16 2012: Actix, the world leader in mobile network analytics and optimization, announced it has secured its 60th customer for its LTE Network Acceptance solution. As the pace of LTE rollouts increases, Actix is already supporting most of Europe, Asia and North America’s early deployments.

Actix’s LTE Network Acceptance solution helps mobile operators minimize the substantial risks involved in LTE rollout and ensure day one network quality. The solution enables them to independently verify the performance of their LTE networks prior to launch by enforcing transparent and unambiguous KPIs; automating the network acceptance process to manage cost and complexity and deliver centralized governance, ensuring full control of network equipment providers. Full optimization capabilities also allow any issues identified during the process to be addressed at the same time.

“Actix is delighted that our leadership in mobile analytics and optimization is continuing with LTE” said Bill McHale, Actix CEO. “For such a critical investment, taking the risk out of LTE rollout by ensuring specific contractual KPIs are met by network equipment providers is vital. Actix’s network acceptance solution is handing control of the network back into the hands of the operator, and it’s testament to the capability and performance of the solution that so many worldwide operators and vendors are using it to deploy next generation networks.”

Network Acceptance is a critical process used by mobile network operators to ensure that deployed network equipment meets performance targets prior to launch. With ROI dependent on an on-time, on-quality and on-budget delivery of the network, network rollout can be a high-risk activity for operators. Poor quality network delivery can lead to operators experiencing lower service uptake, higher levels of customer dissatisfaction, increased post launch optimization costs, and a reputation for a poor network quality.

The Actix acceptance solution is available in a single-user desktop version, or as a multi-user hosted cloud, allowing hundreds of stakeholders within both the operator and network equipment provider access to the data.

“Our close working relationship with early stage LTE operators is providing us with valuable insight into the very real challenges involved in rolling out LTE, especially in the modern HetNet environment” said Richard Kateley, Actix CTO. “Actix supports over 200 data interfaces and this multi-vendor and multi-technology approach is helping operators make sense of an environment far more complex than the one they faced during the rollout of UMTS”.

Actix has been nominated for the ‘Best Test/Measurement LTE Product’ at the Telecoms.com LTE Awards 2012. Now in its third year, and taking place at LTE World Summit 2012 on May 23rd in the El Xalet, Montjuic, Barcelona, the awards celebrate and recognize the achievements of leadership, quality and innovation in the LTE industry.

About Actix

Actix is the world leader in mobile network analytics and optimization, with more than 400 customers, including 25 of the top 30 operators worldwide. Founded in 1991, today Actix has offices in the U.K., Germany, U.S.A, Malaysia, China, Singapore, Japan, Australia, Brazil and Dubai.

In 1997, Actix developed the world’s first multi-vendor desktop solution, Analyzer, for mobile network layer 3 analytics, which is the current de facto global standard. In 2007, Actix delivered another world first, a mobile network analytics and optimization platform supporting hundreds of users, called ActixOne.

Carbon Design Systems® Inc., the leading supplier of virtual platform and secure model solutions, today introduced the Carbon Performance Analysis Kit (CPAK) family for accelerating the analysis, optimization and verification of system-on-chip (SoC) performance.

CPAKs enable architects and engineers to begin analyzing performance and power within hours of installation, and months before tapeout, reducing overall time-to-market pressures and minimizing the risk of a complete re-design. They can be customized using models from Carbon’s IP Exchange model portal, SystemC or Carbon Model Studio.

The CPAK family for ARM® Cortex™ A-Series processors contains reference hardware and software designs along with analysis and debug software for the Cortex-A9, Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 cores, and the ARM big.LITTLE™ subsystem.

It comes pre-configured with bare-metal initialization software, Linux or Android OS for analyzing, optimizing and verifying performance and power. In addition, the CPAK Family is pre-configured with the multicore task migration software layer between the big.LITTLE processing cluster, which includes ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore and Cortex-A7 MPCore processors, and the client OS.

“Designers often attempt to use 85-90% cycle-accurate solutions that they claim are good enough for system analysis,” comments Joe Tatham, Carbon’s vice president of engineering. “What typically happens, though, is that model is only 50-60% accurate for certain areas. Designers are making multi-million dollar decisions based upon data that’s about as accurate as the flip of a coin. Carbon is the only vendor that offers 100% cycle-accurate models, where design teams can guarantee performance results will match the final silicon, minimizing the risk of a re-design.”

Demonstrations During DAC

Carbon will demonstrate the CPAK for ARM big.LITTLE at this year’s Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Francisco’s Moscone Center June 4-6. Carbon will exhibit and offer presentations in the ARM Connected Community Pavilion, Booth #802.

Availability

The CPAK Family for ARM Cortex Processors will be available in bare metal and Linux configurations in the second quarter of calendar year 2012, and in Android configurations in the second half of calendar 2012.

Details about Carbon’s Performance Analysis Kit Family, including compatibility with ARM tools and popular software debuggers, can be found at: www.carbondesignsystems.com/cpak.
