Reduce Costs of 3G Operations

Conflicting strategies for 3G Network Optimization often create areas of inefficiencies that can have significant impact in the overall cost of operations.

Major areas of inefficiencies such as the unnecessary volume of drive test campaigns, inefficiencies in network engineers work process and unnecessary anticipation of additional sites or equipment upgrades based on misleading information coming from OSS-based systems have a heavy impact  on 3G operating costs.

Tektronix Communications’ OptiMon provides a suite of applications and tools specifically designed to enable 3G Operators to reduce their cost of operation and make more informed decisions on CAPEX related to new sites or network elements upgrades. The solution is based on the analysis of protocols in the UTRAN network interfaces, allowing the creation of KPIs and dashboards for quick detection of issues and powerful drill down for more complete troubleshooting analysis. In particular, the Automatic Reporting and Decision Support tools for Radio Network Optimization enables Optimization engineers to perform more efficiently their daily tasks and in less time, focus on the most important issues and solve them sooner because optimization tasks are made easier.

The Geo-localization of Call Events and Service Degradation Issues enables Optimization engineers to reduce the number of Drive Test campaign focusing only on critical issues and areas highlighted by the tool, and ultimately reduce the time-to-resolution because all locations of service issues will be immediately known through the mapping support. The Seamless Drill-Down for Root Cause Analysis allows to solve issues in minutes as opposed to the 3-5 days that were required when using the traditional optimization and troubleshooting process.
