Metricell LimitedFor developing software that analyses data about mobile networks, the company, Metricell Limited

wins an Innovation Award.

The expanding demands for mobile communications have prompted the need to operate large complex networks at the highest levels of technical and commercial efficiency. Typically, UK network-providers service 15 million customers from 20 thousand base stations, generating vast amounts of data on equipment performances, signal strengths, customer locations and servicequality. Incorporating advanced data mining and processing techniques, the new software provides management information ona geographical basis to support decision-making about resource allocation and investmentin new infrastructure. This has led to improved service, higher customer satisfaction and less customer transfers between operators. The software is supplied to all UK mobile phone operators and many overseas clients and has led to outstanding commercial success.

Milmega Limited

Park Road Ryde

PO33 2BEFor designing and developing Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing equipment, Milmega Limited

wins an Innovation Award.

The tests evaluate the susceptibility of electronic products to electromagnetic emissions by irradiating them with signals generatedby high-powered amplifiers. International standards, introducedin 2005, required the tests to be undertaken at frequencieshigher than previously, rendering them expensive and unreliable with existing equipment. New equipment, the result of anoveldesign methodology and incorporating recently-developed gallium nitride-based transistors, was introduced. It constrained costsand enabled reliable testing to be carried out. The new instruments, using amodular design, have higher efficiency and lowerrunning costs relative to previous equipment. The development has brought to the company commercial success, warranting theestablishment of aglobal distribution network.
