Products Features

The ICIX software platform is the industry's leading and most comprehensive software suite assisting mobile operators automate capacity calculation, management and planning

Based on regular automated Operation and Support System (OSS) data uploads, the software allows engineering, sales, marketing, analytics and other associated groups to discover, dimension and enhance:

Capacity...

Calculate, in general and in real time, the current spare capacity available on the network (on a per site / per sector / per Marketing Plan Mix basis)

FWA...

Calculate, the number of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) lines available for sale on the network (on a per site / per sector / per Marketing Plan Mix basis)

QoS...

Analyse and benchmark Quality of Service (QoS) and user experience, such as Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) per sector,… across the network

Marketing...

Simulate the impact of various marketing campaigns (new plan mix, promotions, changes to monthly data cap, geographical sales push, etc…

Upgrades...

Identify areas where the network might require optimization and/or capacity upgrades

Forecast...

Using an AI algorithm, forecast future traffic growth and capacity requirements based on historical traffic data

Budgets...

Post process reports on sales and networks performance to benchmark network utilization and analyze CAPEX ROI

SET UP & SOLUTION

SAAS / Cloud...

The software is packaged under a flexible Software as a Service (SaaS) model (on the Cloud or deployed) allowing the various teams to gain access to the tool as needed, and to exchange information efficiently. The licensing model is based on a monthly base license fee, plus a variable monthly fee dependent on the number of FWA lines managed by the platform

OSS...

A detailed list of counters / datasets required can be provided by ICIX for all main equipment vendors (such as Alcatel, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, ZTE, etc…). Further to creating an initial report template (in about 2 hours) to get data from the network, all the files can be extracted from the Operation and Support System (OSS) in about 10 minutes and enable the ICIX tool to simulate the entire network topology, as well as its current behaviour under load

Production...

Further to the initial data entry, updates of traffic information, congestion and Quality of Service counters can be set up on a recurring basis (daily, weekly or monthly) via a direct connection from the OSS to the servers of the ICIX tool. This procedure includes parsing of the data through the correspondence table in order to achieve a complete automation of the collection and processing of the input data

Reporting...

Once the OSS data has been uploaded, the ICIX software runs a program called “4G/5G Dimensioning” which performs a statistical analysis of all traffic volumes (fixed and mobile), network utilisation, and all other “counters” and outputs the analytics described in the following sections
