Drive Test & Network Optimization


RK Network offers RF Optimization services for existing GSM and CDMA network operators. This is a continuous RF engineering activity that ensures optimum network performance that meets the set Quality of Service (QoS) targets such as:

Coverage of Service Area: Urban areas, In building, Suburban areas, Roads, Rural areas etc Call Success Rate Handover failure Rx quality

The benefits of RK network's RF Optimization service for the network operator are increased revenues and reduced costs.

Network quality is maintained resulting in higher speech quality index. Stronger competitiveness resulting in higher customer acquisitions. Satisfied customers resulting in low churn Efficient network utilization resulting in reduced investment costs.

RK Network's RF Optimization services include the following:

Study of network performances through OMC Statistics, drive tests and customer Enquiry. Post-processing and analysis of the performance data to bench mark the network performance against the set QoS targets and identify eventual problems. Proposing an action plan for solving the problems. The proposed action plan may include parameter changes and/or network configuration changes and/or network Hardware elements changes. In close coordination with the customer, implementing the proposed action plan. Performance Verification to ensure that the optimization process has resulted in network performance improvements such that it meets the set QoS targets.

Network KPI Analysis & Post Processing


RK Network offers Network Audit services that aim at gathering data on end-to-end characteristics of the Network. This Network Audit service aims to benchmark the Network performance with known standards. Also, this service intends to suggest possible courses of action to solve the identified problems. The objectives of the Network Audit and the related processes are:

Network characterization and assessment. Comparison of measured data with data on similar systems. Recommendation of possible courses of action and Network modifications, if any. Compilation of Network data, which can be useful for Network expansion, operation and maintenance. Conduct of the study in partnership with the customer and in a proactive spirit.

Network Audit service generally includes the following, but these are more dependent on the type of Network.

Terminal Equipment Interface Analysis Voice Quality Measurements Network Configuration Comparison Trouble Ticket Analysis

RK Network's systems professionals carry out audits, experiments and tests in the effervescent environment, construct empirical models from the collected statistical data, locate root causes and make suggestions wherever necessary. A detailed report of the findings of the audits and analysis of the data is compiled and presented to the customer's engineering team for initiating necessary corrective actions and proactive measures for future expansions.
