to Assure GSM, GPRS and MMS Service Quality
UMC, the 100% subsidiary of the OJSC 'Mobile TeleSystems'
(NYSE: MBT), the leading operator of mobile communication in
Ukraine, has signed an agreement with Swiss-based Nexus Telecom for
the delivery of a Nexus8620 fully automated roaming test system to
ensure service quality for their GSM and GPRS mobile
services.
Zurich, Switzerland (PRWEB) September 12, 2005 -- Ukrainian
Mobile Communication (UMC) has chosen Nexus8620 Roaming Test System
to automate testing of their Mobile Network Services for UMC and
visiting customers.
"UMC invested in a Quality Mobile
Network and now will deploy the Nexus8620 test system to further
ensure that subscribers benefit from highest mobile services
quality," says Vladimir P. Pashchuk, Deputy Director General and
Technical Director at UMC. The Nexus8620 Test System generates
automated test calls using real Mobile Network Provider SIM cards
from all roaming partners to confirm that GSM, GPRS and MMS services
are fully available to pre-paid customers as well as monthly
subscribers.
"The Nexus8620 Roaming Test System connects
directly to UMC's core network to generate test calls, avoiding the
waste of precious radio resources. From a single central location
the system is able to schedule and perform test campaigns for remote
MSCs and SGSNs, enabling a significant reduction in test times,"
says Christoph Kupper, Marketing Director at Nexus Telecom.
The Nexus8620 Roaming Test System offers further benefits
such as conformance and interworking testing of switch software
updates before the mobile switch is released back into network
operation.
