VIAVI Solutions today announced the introduction of NITRO Mobile, a family of solutions delivering network intelligence, assurance and optimization to service providers.
As mobile operators confront traffic and bandwidth demand growth, increasing competition and the advent of new technologies including 5G and IoT, they require automated, virtualized and scalable means to manage their networks, said VIAVI.
NITRO Mobile answers the call with a subscriber-centric approach, delivering geo-located, app-aware insight for peak performance. This launch further expands the portfolio of solutions based on the VIAVI NITRO real-time intelligence platform.
Taking a subscriber-centric approach, NITRO Mobile captures, locates and analyzes all mobile events across the RAN and core, and correlates them by location and application, providing operators with insight to optimize the customer experience and drive new revenue streams. Automated intelligence enables context-driven workflows for faster troubleshooting, identifying parameters and related KPIs to quickly and efficiently uncover the root cause of service-specific issues. The NITRO Mobile family of solutions comprises NITRO Mobile Intelligence, NITRO Mobile Assurance and NITRO Mobile Optimization.
Specific applications of NITRO Mobile include:
- Assuring subscriber quality of experience (QoE) on individual services requiring distinct resources or parameters from the network.
- Providing deep insight into devices, locations, services and usage of IoT connections to minimize impact on the overall customer base.
- Optimizing C-RAN by correlating data from the RAN, core, front-/backhaul and the air interface to deliver intelligence throughout the network lifecycle.
- Developing new revenue streams through monetization of the rich analytics set made available to marketers.
