"Anritsu's wireless monitoring solutions help network operators reduce customer churn rates, lower network operating costs, assures smooth rollout of new services and ensures performance of networks at peak efficiency".
The MasterClaw solution is Anritsu's probe-based nonintrusive monitoring system designed to provide full end-to-end monitoring of GSM, GPRS, UMTS, and VoIP/SS7 networks.
The solution enables operators to increase profits by optimising the use of existing network capacity, increase average revenue per user by improving service quality and launch new access and subscriber services faster.
Moreover, the MasterClaw effectively links parallel 2G, 2.5G and 3G networks to support an operator's transition strategy.
"As wireless networks become more complex, there is increasing demand for end-to-end troubleshooting and monitoring solutions that ensure optimal network performance", said Thomas Jensen, Vice President and Head of the Service Assurance Business Unit of Anritsu.
"We are honoured to be recognised by the industry's leading experts for closely aligning our product line strategy with customer needs, which has resulted in continuous significant market penetration".
The MasterClaw integrates network monitoring, troubleshooting, as well as service and customer quality monitoring of converged networks into one platform.
This integrated environment enables service providers and network operators to monitor their networks as a unified service platform rather than treating service and network segment as a separate entity.
The NetClaw is an advanced network and service performance analyser to troubleshoot and optimise new and existing services across GSM, CDMA, GPRS/Edge, UMTS, SS7 and IP networks in a single box.
Apart from using NetClaw to capture data, monitor and troubleshoot in a single unit, efficient testing of the interoperability of different technologies can be performed, reducing operational costs, as networks get increasingly complex.
With the innovative NetClaw multi-user capability, it is possible for up to eight users to analyse different parts of the monitored network simultaneously and independent of each other, thus optimising work routines while minimising investment in other test solutions.
"Apart from the early adoption factor, Arnitsu's products are highly competent to address needs for powerful and seamless migration path, allowing operators to scale current monitoring and test solutions from a single location, to local networks, and onto the entire network across UMTS, GPRS and GSM domains in a cost-efficient manner", adds Jambulingam.
