GENEX U-Net Is a network planning system for GSM, UMTS and
CDMA2000. It supports network dimensioning, coverage prediction, system simulation, propagation model calibration, radio data tuning and auto site selection.
GENEX Probe Is a drive-test system targeted for network performance.
It is significant for troubleshooting, verification, optimization, and maintenance of UMTS and GSM networks.
GENEX Assistant
Is a post-processing system that incorporates
analysis of drive test data and RNC data. Now it can analyze drive test data of UMTS and RNC data at one time.
GENEX Nastar Is a network performance analysis platform,
supports 2G and 3G networks. By analyzing configuration and performance data, such as CDR data, RTWP data and RSSI data, it can develop a good solution to network problems.
