Quickly solve problems to maximize engineering productivity & efficiency with WindCatcher Plus

Traffic growth, multiple technologies and layering of 4G systems on legacy networks has made management of wireless networks complex. The engineering groups responsible for managing these complex environments are also faced with considerable pressure on their operational budgets. This creates the situation of having to manage more with less. What is needed is a thorough cost effective analysis tool that is designed to address this situation.

Competition among wireless operators is fierce. Quality of Service (QoS) is an important differentiator. That means finding, verifying and fixing problems quickly is a competitive advantage especially when news of network issues travels fast. Is network unavailability due to RF channel degradation or backhaul issues? This puts considerable pressure on engineering groups to identify service-affecting problems by regularly analyzing large amounts of network data and correcting issues quickly.

WindCatcher Plus is the tool that will quickly


WindCatcher Plus is the industry leading drive test post processing software tool that includes sophisticated, yet easy to use, analysis routines for all major wireless technologies. WindCatcher Plus is used by design engineers, performance engineers, handset testing groups, and technology development groups throughout the RF network life cycle.

Applications span from verifying sites during network deployment; to identifying poor service during network optimization; and to isolating root causes during ongoing system performance.

ADVANCED FEATURES
INTERACTIVE ANALYSIS
Synchronize views to isolate problems. For example, identify a color-coded failure on a map and then drill down to view over- the- air messaging to indentify the root cause. Synchronization is available for maps, time-series charts, dropped call event analysis, messages, events, phone data browser, and tables.

MAPPING
Incorporate online maps and any third party open source maps to view environmental factors affecting the wireless network. Use metric offset feature to view multiple metrics on one map.

AUTOMATED ANALYSIS
Quickly identify and resolve root cause of network RF issues such as drops, blocks, low throughput, and poor voice quality with onestep analysis.

ADVANCED REPORTING
Easily customize reports for Site Acceptance, pre-post analysis and troubleshooting. Metrics, events and maps can be exported to Excel, MapInfo and Google compatible KML file formats.

CALL EVENTS
Capture all call events independently using the powerful call event engine.
