Radio network optimization (RNO) is the important step in network construction.

RNO adjust the planning and design reasonably , improve the network coverage,

increase the network capacity, improve the network service quality and resource

utilization ratio. Make the network operation more stably , and provide excellent

service.

Data collection is the necessary premise of analysis and adjustment. Optimization

data including：Driving test data（DT）,Call quality test data（CQT）,OMC

performance data, Customer’s complains, Alarm data , signaling data and other

data.

ZXPOS CNT ( UMTS Edition， for Short CNT) is the professional network

optimization test software developed by ZTE . CNT helps the RNO engineer to do

the test and analysis. Locate network problem and evaluate network quality and

capacity, constitute the optimization solution.
