GENEX Assistant Introduction

The GENEX Assistant (hereafter referred to as Assistant) is an expert radio

test data post-processing software. It is used for analyzing and processing the
test data (both drive test data and RNC data) of radio network air interfaces.

their work efficiency.
The Assistant benefits customers with respect to the following aspects:
Quickly and efficiently obtaining the QoS of the entire network
Reducing the test workload required by network adjustment
Providing profound and effective problem location information.
Providing sharable analysis methods, and thus reducing the requirements for
the skills of network optimization personnel
