Zhilabs, Stoke Unveil Joint RAN Analytics Solution to Pinpoint Issues on LTE Network

Zhilabs, the mobile broadband and big data analytics company has partnered Stoke, the LTE security gateway leader, to bring to market a joint RAN (radio access network) analytics solution. The RAN analytics solution enables mobile broadband operators to troubleshoot, optimize and take corrective action on the 3G/LTE networks.

According to a statement by Zhilabs, the situation is particularly acute at the interface of the radio access network (RAN) and the evolved packet core (EPC) interface, where interrelated traffic and movement between many LTE nodes make it difficult to correlate, analyze and act on alerts in time to deflect problems.

Stoke's security gateway aggregates, analyzes and encrypts traffic from up to thousands of radio access network (RAN) communications points before it enters the operator core. Zhilabs' technology collects, analyzes and correlates data from multiple sources, providing unique insight on data traversing the network that enables corrective action to be applied as required.

Our RAN analytics solution allows operators to save time, costs and network disruption by finding and solving problems quickly in a particularly challenging area of the network. We make it simple for operators to achieve insights which will have a profound impact on their ability to improve customer retention and profitability."

- Vikash Varma, President and CEO, Stoke

LTE network operators can save substantial costs and generate more revenue by correlating and correcting the causes of network outages, RAN congestion or traffic spikes. Providers can more quickly understand the relative priority of different customer transaction patterns, instantly troubleshoot usage issues or device problems, and undertake value-based LTE or 3G capacity planning to improve the use of their network assets. This allows them to boost their revenue through marketing initiatives or providing the right price/plan mixes."
