NMT - Neighbor Management Tool


Good neighbor and cell parameter management is crucial for the network quality of any cellular network. In todays multi-technology multi-vendor multi-operator networks, consistent manual neighbor and parameter planning becomes impossible. NMT automatically does continuous calculation and provisioning of neighbor relations, cell ranges and code planning according to a given set of rules as the network grows.

Key Benefits

  • An automatic algorithm that produces useful neighbor relations which does not need immediate manual corrections and additions
    • based on signal strength predictions
    • unlimited area size
    • unlimited number of sites
  • Prioritization of neighbor relations
  • Automatic handover statistics feedback to optimize neighbor lists
  • Deletion of redundant neighbors
  • Compares generated neighbors with actual, deletes redundant
  • Automatic operation on scheduled basis
  • User GGUI (GeoGraphic User Interface) for visualization and manual edits
  • Code conflict visualization
  • Code planner (BSIC, Scrambling Codes, PCI and RSI)
  • Cell range calculations
  • Interfaces to popular radio planning tools, such as Forsk Atoll, Aircom Asset,  Planet, Nokia, NetAct and Ericsson EET
  • Proven OMC interfaces via XML files (Nokia NetAct, Ericsson CNA & RANOS, Huawei MML)
  • Text file interface for bulk manual updates or interface to other system
  • Full change history in database, i.e. who did what change when
  • High performance multi-user database
