Reverb Networks, Thursday announced that the company has helped Vietnam's largest mobile network operator, Viettel to deliver exceptional technical and business results during recent live network installations of its SON system, InteliSON. The system showed impressive gains while operating in fully autonomous mode, with no human intervention, said Reverb networks.
According to Reverb Netwworks, the InteliSON system made a large number of automatic changes to the network to greatly improve performance, productivity, stability and capacity, and also absorbed various maintenance changes to live network configuration applied by parallel manual engineering processes - fully automatically, without any need to stop or adjust the SON system. The company claims that the live network results showed 100% increase in data utilization through load balancing in congested areas, 24% reduction in call setup failures, 18% reduction in dropped calls and 50% improvement in dropped calls due to missing neighbors.
Viettel Group CTO Mr. Ho Chi Dung
Reverb Networks have shown us remarkable performance, productivity and quality gains, and we are looking forward to extending those benefits by engaging across all ten of our national and international networks. With literally billions of daily transactions interacting with the network, automation is the only way to proactively manage customer experience.
Zoran Kehler, CEO Reverb Networks
While the performance results are very pleasing, what is also remarkable is the productivity gain we were able to create by solving network optimization issues which are normally impossible for human engineers to find. A single engineer in charge of an RNC can typically handle the neighbor relations of up to 500-800 cells per week. By using InteliSON's Automatic Neighbor Relations functions the same engineer can optimize thousands of cells simultaneously across a dozen RNCs, producing tens of thousands of effective and coordinated changes each day.
