Data traffic is extremely dynamic, reflecting the way people
communicate in real life while they’re out with their friends, taking care of
business, or on their way home. This lifestyle places extreme demands on the
network and the technology supporting it. For an operator, wouldn't it be nice
if things were more predictable? This new user behavior counts on network
coverage, capacity, and performance…and users count on that.
To start with, end-user experience as well as network
performance are to be measured and analyzed. The network configurations are
optimized to improve End-user experience and maximize asset utilization.
Network Planning should include traffic forecasting and
capacity planning to balance network investments and network performance. These
services can also help the Operator to develop network strategies and action
plans that will achieve business goals and provide input to subsequent design
and integration of the network. The Operators' unique situation will be the
guideline in packaging the relevant and beneficial service modules to meet
operators’ present needs.
Network Design, a firm should set parameters for its network
architecture, so it fulfills its business plan in terms of capacity, coverage,
cost and quality of service. The quality of a network design has a direct
impact on the performance of a network, its reliability, predictability,
capacity and its potential for future expansion. Designing network correctly
will deliver optimal performance and make sure a firm is ready for whatever the
future brings.
Network Audit & Benchmarking, "How well are we
doing?" and "Can we do better?" are two key questions even
Operators frequently ask themselves. The services measure the current
performance, provide recommendations and/or benchmark the network against local
or global references.
Network Engineering, is a firm able to see what and where
the bottlenecks are to better decide where and when to invest in network capacity.
It also supports in analyzing new revenue sources through deep understanding of
the traffic trends.
Network tuning, includes services to initially adjust the
network before commercial launch. When a new network is installed or new
features activated, the radio network functionality and operation is measured
and adjusted. The services can also be applied after launch to improve network
performance.
