ISCO INTL TAKES SPECTRUM MONITORING AND RF ANALYSIS ONE STEP FURTHER WITH NEW PROVIEW SYSTEM
FOR 3G / 4G NETWORK OPERATORS

Proview Simplifies the Spectrum Conditioning Process Critical to Network Optimization,
Performance and Maximum Traffic Carrying Capacity

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL – September 27, 2011 – ISCO International has introduced ProView™, a new spectrum monitoring and analysis tool that goes well beyond providing “mere data” to give 3G or 4G network operators truly actionable information regarding the condition of their wireless spectrum.

Conditioning the RF physical layer lies at the heart of network optimization, which enables maximum utilization of an operator’s available spectrum. Maximizing spectrum in turn effectively recovers or preserves capacity otherwise lost to many types of interference. Spectrum conditioning therefore represents an increasingly viable option to enable more wireless traffic and important more

As part of its infrastructure technology development project, TIM is investing 20 million BRL to improve its network quality and expand its capacity.

The new initiative includes replacing all the core IP equipment (National Multiservice IP Network) with the Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System. TIM has been a pioneer in Brazil and is one of the first telecom operators in the Latin America to use these routers. It plans to conclude installation of all 12 routers by the end of November.

The new generation of routers has an individual capacity of up to 4.5 terabits per second, up to 14 times faster than the equipment currently used by TIM and up to three times faster than other market technologies.

Manufactured by Cisco, one of the major companies on the IP network market, and deployed in partnership with Italtel, the CRS-3 routing system is the platform for evolving more
