Nokia has launched a Real-Time Mobile Network Analytics solution to give operators an end-to-end view of mobile networks from individual subscribers, applications, devices and operating systems, network elements, cells and calls, including suporting use-cases such as the Internet of Things (IoT) device and service insight which helps operators proactively identify the signalling impact of IoT devices and optimize network resources before problems arise.

The analytics is designed to link the performance of applications and devices to network issues in real-time, effectively making every mobile device part of a network test bed. This enables operators to pin point potential causes of service degradation much more rapidly than they can today since they no longer need to consult a myriad of tools and correlate the data from them manually. It also offers engineering teams a proactive way to understand the impact of Over The Top (OTT) application on the network and optimize opportunities.

The Real-Time Mobile Network Analytics solution integrates three of Nokia's existing network analytics tools that the vendor claims have been widely deployed by more than 200 operators:

The combination of tools sources data directly from radio access and core networks with fewer tapping points than standard solutions. This reduces the need to expand interfaces for legacy network probes, said Nokia.

It also offers open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that enable operators to use the collected data for their big data strategies.

Bhaskar Gorti, president of Nokia's Applications and Analytics business group
Today, we introduce a completely new approach that meets the needs of modern-day operators by providing on-the-fly correlation of network-wide data and its analysis per application, per cell, per subscriber, per device and even per call.

Shira Levine, research director, service enablement and subscriber intelligence, IHS Technology
Nokia's Real Time Analytics solution is positioned to capitalize on that trend by allowing operators to pull together data from multiple sources and thus gain a more holistic and comprehensive view of the subscriber.
