LTE network analysis platform

28 November 2012 Test & Measurement

Network Instruments now provides comprehensive LTE support in the latest version of its Observer performance management platform.

The platform provides end-to-end visibility for tracking the flow of control and data services across high-speed LTE networks. This gives mobile carriers shifting to IP-based networks complete visibility and dedicated metrics across all points of their LTE infrastructure – from the tower to the core to help ensure rapid resolution, capacity planning and subscriber satisfaction.

As mobile carriers migrate to high-speed, next-generation communication networks, they require packet-based monitoring to ensure communication delivery and quality.

As an independently-verified retrospective analysis appliance capable of streaming and analysing 10 Gb links at wire-speed without dropping a packet, Network Instruments’ GigaStor provides carriers with visibility and understanding of how the flow of both data and service content is occurring on their LTE networks. The company’s internally developed capture and storage technology ensures no packets are dropped even in the highest-capacity network environment.

The Observer platform provides end-to-end views of LTE performance from a high level across the network, and navigates to specific subscriber, session, link and component details. With side-by-side views of control and delivery planes, teams can understand the linkage between the signalling and subsequent sessions and immediately identify where breakage is occurring.
