GSM, GPRS/EDGE and UMTS Network Troubleshooting and Optimisation Software Model: Compass Wireless
This product is discontinued. Reduces analysis time by a factor of 3 to 5 and expedites fault resolution in mobile access networks Compass Wireless is Anritsu’s next-generation post-processing single solution for troubleshooting, optimisation and maintenance of radio access networks across GSM, GPRS/EDGE and UMTS domains with a user-centric view in just a single solution. Starting from high-level summary information Compass Wireless visualises a prioritised list of problem areas and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that allows fast drill-down to in-depth metrics and functionality such as user tracing, call tracing and protocol analysis to enable operators to take proactive actions to resolve network-critical and subsequently revenue-affecting issues. With Compass Wireless you can effectively reduce the time to pinpoint problems and optimise network parameters by correlating and presenting results much easier than traditional tools including drive test solutions, identifying typical issues, such as congestion, interference, radio cell coverage, handover failures and roaming problems. In turn this helps operators and equipment manufacturers to optimise QoS, reduce churn and secure shorter time to market and more revenue minutes in the network. Using a powerful state-of-the-art engine, Compass Wireless delivers the fastest post-processing and largest database storage in the market for rapid handling of very large traffic files and minimised database storage. This accelerates in-depth analysis and fault resolution and reduces capital expenditure. In many cases Compass Wireless can also be used to complement test equipment already in use in your mobile network, such as drive test tools or a network monitoring system, thus optimising the usage of these tools. Being an intuitive easy-to-use tool, Compass Wireless simplifies the complexity of the troubleshooting process, resulting in lower cost of ownership. Warning reports in the tool provide information on where to focus the troubleshooting efforts. This in turn aids operators to optimise utilisation of staff resources and apply skills where the problems really are and thus limits operational expenses. Compass Wireless is part of Anritsu's comprehensive suite of monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimisation solutions that also includes the NetClaw network and service performance analyser and our MasterClaw OSS package for end-to-end network, customer, partner, and service monitoring across the entire converged network. This allows you to easily and efficiently grow your monitoring and optimisation solution from a small-scale installation to network-wide coverage using the same platform. Features & Benefits Compass Wireless provides you with the expertise to quickly and effectively troubleshoot and optimise your 2G, 2.5G, 2.75G and 3G access network and network parameters with a user-centric view. From a single file of network data, Compass Wireless presents overall statistics and alarms as common OMCs and correlates protocols, technologies and network interfaces, providing details that correspond to thousands of typical drive tests. The Compass concept of analysing and indexing traffic files in an efficient and intuitive manner allows requests for subscriber traces and in-depth drilling to be handled in just a few seconds.
The unmatched Compass engine has evolved over 10 years and has been refined to provide the best correlation in the market. As an example, in the GSM domain Compass correlates on-going calls even when the MS temporarily leaves the monitored cells. In the GPRS/EGPRS domain Compass Wireless can correlate sessions with changing or wrong usage of TLLIs, and in the UMTS domain it can reassemble and correlate sessions from thousands of UE’s across interfaces. Capable of processing live subscriber files captured by all major analysers and monitoring probes, including Anritsu’s NetClaw and MasterClaw monitoring probes, Compass Wireless gives you the real picture of customer behavior in your network. But Compass can also be used as an add-on to optimise the usage of your existing test equipment, such as drive test tools. Here Compass Wireless can aid by defining where and when it’s sensible to carry out drive testing. Compass is easily installed on a normal desktop or a laptop PC and with an easy-to-use and highly customisable graphical user interface as well as a database with a rich help support system. This helps operators simplify the internal work processes and allow engineers to use their time as effectively as possible. Key Features
