RAN performance optimization available on GeoProbe network monitoring system
This combined integrated solution allows service providers to improve subscriber accessibility, retainability and performance of their mobile networks.
GeoProbe provides network engineers with the information needed to solve network and service problems across technologies, applications and element vendors. OptiMon is an integrated suite of products that gathers control and user plane performance data from 3G RAN interfaces (Iub, Iu, and Iur). This gives mobile operators the ability to identify in real-time the root cause of quality of service issues by mapping service problems with underlying radio or core network problems.
The rapid success of mobile broadband and the huge demand for high speed data services is making it more imperative for mobile service providers to ensure that their 3G network performance is properly optimized. It is also becoming increasingly complex and often inefficient for mobile service providers to gain a deep understanding of their RAN performance through the process and tools they have inherited from legacy technology operations, which involve time and cost-intensive network audits, and the use of a subset of statistics gathered from the radio network.
The OptiMon for GeoProbe solution offers an integrated suite of products that gather critical, real-time data from the 3G network. The captured data is analyzed to provide Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and long-term trending analysis. Beyond detecting performance issues, users can also perform level 2 & 3 advanced RAN troubleshooting analysis to determine and isolate issues such as multi-RAB problems caused by smartphones, and other devices.
