As network, service, partner, and customer issues become increasingly more complex to address, mobile operators must achieve even faster problem isolation and resolution to avoid further service degradation and a subsequent impact on revenue.
Starting with high-level summary information, Compass Wireless delivers service providers with a prioritised list of problem areas and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
From there, they are offered fast drill-down to in-depth metrics and functionality, such as user tracing, call tracing and protocol analysis.
Proactive actions can then be taken to resolve network-critical issues.
As a result, operators can rapidly pinpoint typical issues, such as congestion, interference, radio cell coverage, and equipment, handover failures and roaming problems with no need for drive testing tools.
This optimises QoS, minimises churn and ultimately ensures more revenue minutes in the network.
Capable of processing live subscriber traffic captured by a large number of protocol analysers and network monitoring probes, including Anritsu NetClaw and Anritsu MasterClaw, Compass Wireless is the only solution on the market to provide instant problem overview with direct access to details of all affected calls while providing a true picture of customer experience.
Being an intuitive tool, Compass Wireless also aids service providers by minimising the complexity of the troubleshooting process, resulting in low cost of ownership.
As an example, warning reports in the tool provide information on where to focus the troubleshooting efforts; this in turn allows operators to optimise utilisation of personnel resources by applying skills where the problems really are and thus limiting operational expenses.
