Tektronix Communications RAN Performance Optimization Solution Available on Industry-Leading GeoProbe System

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.

“As a market leader in mobile network monitoring and protocol analysis based troubleshooting, Tektronix Communications is dedicated to providing new solutions to assure network and service performance, and customer experience,” said Olga Yashkova, Frost & Sullivan. “Tektronix Communications’ new OptiMon offering for GeoProbe addresses the needs of multiple radio access departments within the service provider to improve their daily network management, troubleshooting, and optimization workflows as network traffic and complexity continues to grow.”

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.

“Tektronix Communications is responding to our customers’ demand for flexible, intelligent solutions that give them the ability to rapidly resolve issues,” said Richard Kenedi, vice president, Test and Optimization, Tektronix Communications. “We are pleased to be able to leverage some of our products to provide our customers broader solutions. This combined offering helps our customers improve business agility by optimizing network infrastructure to deliver higher quality services faster and more efficiently, and improve their market competitiveness via a 3G RAN optimization solution combined with a 24/7 end-to-end network monitoring solution.”
