Network and Service monitoring
One system for investigating multi-technology networks
Abstract
Operators who deploy single technology monitoring systems for each network technology encounter difficulties in managing operations. Troubleshooting customer transactions across several different network access technologies is time consuming. Our network and service monitoring system is a single passive probe system monitoring PSTN, NGN, 2G/3G/4G. Network management becomes more efficient and reduces operation costs.
Network monitoring as strategic business asset
Operators juggling with 2 or 3 monitoring systems, each for a specific network access technology, are faced with aging systems that are rarely updated to the latest available hardware and software. Performance issues arise because of network traffic increases or unable to monitor new services. Network monitoring is a highly valuable strategic business asset and should provide a comprehensive view of the entire network environment to manage them efficiently.
Efficient management with multi-technology monitoring
Truly end-to-end information
End-to-end network performance KPIs identify customer trends that impact new services and their associated network interoperability issues. To prepare for LTE voice services, 2G and 3G KPI analytics prompted taking temporary configuration actions to avoid new VoIP service network congestion. Planning discovered that future IP network investments were needed to capitalize on their VoLTE deployment.
