InfoVista, the global leader of IP and RF planning, assurance and optimization software solutions, introduces the VistaInsight for Planet to enable communications service providers (CSPs) to effectively meet and exceed network performance expectations and service-level guarantees of next-generation networks .VistaInsight for Planet automatically supplies real-time network performance data to Mentum Planet, a modeling and built-in Automated Network Planning (ANP) tool, enabling CSPs to gain more in-depth, real-time understanding of traffic trends in their mobile networks and use the insights to reduce their network Opex and Capex .
In addition, the solution provides in depth analysis of the network such as usage pattrens at different times of the day or week, as well as during special events like sports and games. As a result, mobile operators can more accurately and efficiently plan their multi-vendor networks based on current traffic trends to ensure network investments are targeted and ensure high quality of experience (QoE) for their customers.
“VistaInsight for Planet pulls the network performance data RF engineers need for network planning and network optimization efforts, and puts it where it will be the most useful – right into Mentum Planet,” said Bernard Breton, SVP, Americas & APAC and chief marketing officer, InfoVista. “Having such real-time data is increasingly important to ensure accuracy in network planning and network optimization. By automatically collecting the appropriate traffic and cell load information, rather than relying on RF engineers to manually complete tedious data collection, it can greatly accelerate the efficiency of mobile operators’ efforts. As a result, they can ensure that LTE deployments go smoothly by easily accessing performance management data from day one.” 
“Mobile operators are under tremendous pressure to increase network capacity to support ever increasing mobile data consumption rates,” said Mark Mortensen, principal analyst, industry analyst firm Analysys Mason. “Doing this optimally requires the most up-to-date network performance data in order to ensure that mobile operators properly forecast their future network capacity and infrastructure needs and minimize the associated costs.
