Identifying and rectifying interference issues in a mobile environment is a challenging but crucial task. Mobile users near the interference source will experience degraded call success rates, increased dropped calls, decreased battery life, poor voice quality and reduced data throughput. Detecting, locating, and finally eliminating the sources of RF interference are critical to maintaining good user experience throughout the network. Service providers need solutions that can help them reduce the time to detect, identify and eliminate interference problems, with minimal resource investment.
Viavi’s InterferenceAdvisor offers a comprehensive yet cost-effective solution to identify interference sources. An engineer no longer has to drive, stop to check direction, and drive again to find suspected areas of interference. The EagleEye software automates the entire interference hunting process and what used to take days to troubleshoot can now be done in hours by following a few simple steps:
1. Analyse network area/cell site(s) with signature of worse performance.
2. Identify site/sectors seeing the most impact.
3. After on-site verification of the presence of interference, drive the area with the easy to set up and use InterferenceAdvisor.
4. Follow the instructions provided by the EagleEye software. A combination of multiple algorithms within EagleEye will identify the possible interference source area with a circle on the drive map.
