Based on an innovative algorithm which processes radio measurements data
reported by network and handset data, the OptiMon GeoLocalization module
provides a geographic view of subscriber activities, failure events and
radio conditions. Results are plotted on a geographic map, enabling
significant productivity enhancements and reduced time-to-resolution with
instant knowledge of the service issue location.
With this new
groundbreaking addition to OptiMon, each network handset virtually becomes a
drive test device. OptiMon users will be able to precisely identify the
location of performance or coverage problems, QoS/QoE issues and traffic
distributions on geographic maps.
With this new revolutionary approach,
optimization engineers are much less dependent on post processing drive test
data, thus enabling dramatic cost reduction throughout the entire
optimization and network operations process by real time location based
optimization.
OptiMon customers are benefiting from other improvements as well with the
addition of Quality of Experience (QoE) KPIs for voice, data (HTTP, Email,
FTP, Ping) and video services. The KPIs will be displayed in TrendNavigate
dashboards and users are able to drilldown into call details. TrendNavigate,
a KPI trend analysis tool, provides high-level statistical analysis combined
with drill-down cause analysis.
"Network infrastructure expenses still represent the largest portion of
mobile operators' total costs," said Martin Kuerzinger, VP and GM Test &
Optimization, Tektronix Communications.
"Facing the challenges of today's
economic environment, wireless operators have an increased focus on
minimizing and optimizing both CAPEX and OPEX to ensure profitability,
growth and remain competitive. Cost reduction and optimization need to be
implemented without compromising network performance and service quality
since customer retention and long term loyalty are still primary goals for
wireless operators as competition is increasing and margins shrinking.
Through the extended visibility on network and service performances and
the advanced algorithms allowing fast and accurate correlation of radio
access events and parameters, OptiMon has proven possible to achieve
significant savings in CAPEX and OPEX related to Optimization activities.
Visitors of the MWC2009 in Barcelona will have the opportunity to check
the saving potential for their network at the Tektronix booth in less than a
minute thanks to a tool specifically designed to detect and analyze Network
Optimization inefficiencies.
