Colombians ask Astellia for post-migration network audit
2008-09-08 10:44:35
Astellia has been contracted by a tier one operator in Colombia to perform an audit of its GSM network. The operator wants to benchmark and check the behaviour of its network after a swap to a new equipment manufacturer due to next generation network migration.
After giving
a snapshot of the network and delivering a detailed troubleshooting report,
Astellia will make recommendations on how to further optimise and improve network
performance.
This contract consolidates Astellia's position in the region. Since the beginning of 2008, Astellia has won two major new customers here, one in Chile and one in Colombia.
A large operator in Chile (also unnamed) appointed Astellia earlier this year to audit its GSM and UMTS (3G) network.
The Astellia
system is compatible with and complements the operator’s internal tools. It gives
the operational optimisation team a complete picture of the customers’ behaviour
and of quality of service on the network.
The customer reportedly appreciates the fact that a single, non-intrusive and vendor-independent
system provides roaming statistics and information per handset type. With it,
they can monitor the core and the access networks alike.
