Business Opportunity
Wireless Operators are launching data services
Widespread deployment in 2005
Coverage shrinkage due to high demands of data applications High dropped call rates and access failure rates are not acceptable High mobile transmit power requirement reduces capacity and speed
Link Optimization
RF Link is the signal to and from the mobile to the base station.
ISCO optimizes the processing of that signal with products and services that
Improve signal reception and transmission Mitigate Interference
Recover cell site capacity and coverage; improve call quality with fewer dropped connections => build customer satisfaction
ISCO improves network performance
