| Solutions
for Wireless Service Providers |
| |
| Having
pioneered important service assurance solutions for mobile technologies
- including GSM, GPRS and UMTS - we understand complicated network
structures. Our solutions let wireless operators incorporate
new services and migrate to new technologies without scrapping
the basic monitoring platform - which saves both time and money
as your business evolves. |

Turning
a technological threat into a profitable opportunity
OK.
Here’s the situation. Some mobile markets are booming
with new subscribers. But others have hit the saturation point.
And everywhere, loyalty is weak and churn is strong. It's
a fact, the wireless operators who can deliver high quality
UMTS services and roll out them out quickly are going to win
the race for 3G market share. New technologies such as HSDPA,
IMS and DVB-H, combined with the continuous evolution of the
handset, now for the first time enables wireless service providers
to cost efficiently offer truly converged wireless broadband
services.
But success
does not come for free. The converged ubiquitous access technologies,
different types of service delivery platforms and complex
service delivery chain, all add to the complexity of the network
and the operation of it. Here's where we can help. Anritsu
gives you the analytical tools you need to convert real-time
network data into business intelligence. And that means you
can optimize your network, develop more attractive services,
and generate greater profits. Success does not come by random,
either.

| End-to-end
Network and Service Visibility |
|
Complete UMTS solution
Not
only do we cover the entire packet-switched and circuit-switched
domains of the core network, we also provide full monitoring
coverage of the UTRAN network as an integral part of our Service
Assurance solution. This is important since 80% of all UMTS
problems relate to UTRAN. With a cost efficient way of continuously
monitor UTRAN operators can at any time control the radio
access performance and analyze details of specific calls.
And, MasterClaw™ is compliant with Release 99 through
Release 6 for a truly futureproofed solution.
End-to-end
network visibility
Increased
complexity in the network and the signaling across different
networks domains, calls for operational tools that span across
the network in a unified way. Conducting root-cause analysis
and troubleshooting in a converged network, network operations
staff need tools that can efficiently can trace calls and
sessions in a seamless network-wide fashion, even if occurred
days before.
Customer Experience Management
Your
customers are the life-blood of your operation. If they’re
not happy, they’ll go somewhere else. Our unique combination
of passive and active monitoring creates a superior set of
QoS metrics that frames the customers’ perception of
the service quality. By monitoring the downlink service quality
in the user’s handset, we can better understand the
actual end-to-end quality. And by combining end-user quality
with QoS data from the network, wireless operators can gain
a truly holistic view of the quality of both the uplink and
downlink. |

| Turning
Network Data into Business Intelligence |
|
Understanding your business
Simple things, like understanding which terminal types generate
the most MMS traffic, often represent vital business intelligence
when negotiating deals with handset manufacturers. Because
we can provide detailed information regarding the customers’
true identity and location, our OSS solutions can become vital
business-support systems.
Complex
value chains calls for simple monitoring solutions
Any wireless service provider is dependent on a wide set of
partners, being roaming partners, interconnect and backhaul
partners, or content partners. The service quality offered
to the end-users, is not only dependent on the performance
of the own network, but equally dependent on the performance
of the different partners. With the accelerating revenue shift
from voice to data services the service value chains become
even more complex. With Anritsu’s Service Assurance
solution you not only get a tool that can monitor your, partners’
performance, it provides you with the critical evidence negotiating
the business terms.
Integrated Network–Service–Customer–Partner
monitoring
Anritsu’s integrated service assurance solution provides
an integrated monitoring universe, feeding a wide range of
different user categories, including operational network personnel,
network planners, product managers, account managers, partner
managers, with vital operational and business information.
Building on the same converged data acquired from the network,
MasterClaw offers powerful reporting capabilities across Network,
Service, Customer and Partner domains in both real-time and
via KPI- and KQI reports. Representing a specific aspect of
the carrier’s overall operation, the ability to understand
their mutual relationship is essential. It must be clear how
the network performance or the performance of interconnect,
roaming or content partners affect the general service level,
and subsequently how the end-user service level is affected.

| Towards
Next Generation |

Ready to meet today’s needs – and tomorrow’s
The greatest challenge facing wireless operators is to gain
new revenue through new services – ultimately providing
a complete triple play offering. As a result, wireless networks
are evolving from 2G through 2.5G to the newest 3G and IMS networks.
Not only can new cash-generating services be introduced rapidly
and cost-effectively, when it’s time to migrate towards
IMS and possibly even a fixed-mobile convergent (FMC) architecture,
the MasterClaw framework and probe system can continue to be
used, thus considerably reducing the risk and cost of transition.
Building on our Wireline VoIP solutions MasterClaw now also
supports the IMS versions of SIP, which makes Anritsu uniquely
positioned to help wireless service providers in their migration
towards IMS based network architectures.
Ready for the wireless triple play
Being promising candidate to unlock the mobile triple play,
HSDPA are DVB-H are powerful access technologies that already
now plays an important role planning the introduction of converged
service offerings. As a natural continuation of Anritsu’s
leadership in the wireless network and service monitoring area,
MasterClaw of course support HSDPA monitoring, as a part of
our UTRAN monitoring capabilities, which again makes Anritsu
is now uniquely positioned to help service providers ensure
successful HSDPA based service launches. |
