Astellia, which provides monitoring solutions for the optimisation of mobile network QoS and QoE, has been chosen by Vodafone Czech Republic as a main partner for testing and maximising its network performance in the context of its three-year equipment swap project. The contract will enable Vodafone to ensure fast and successful replacement of more than 40 BSCs in its 2G network and deliver the highest customer experience to its subscribers.
With these swap operations, Vodafone aims at reducing both capex and opex while providing enhanced service quality. This particularly complex and time-sensitive project requires both a strong expertise in RAN optimisation and a vendor-independent monitoring solution. Vodafone has chosen Astellia for its radio optimisation expertise and its flexible, portable probing system.
“We are very happy with our collaboration with Astellia’s experts. Their know-how and experience in RAN network optimisation is a great help to us in evaluating our network’s efficiency after the equipment swap,” said Slavomír Slanina, RAN manager at Vodafone Czech Republic. “In the near future, we will most certainly call on their expertise for our 3G network monitoring.”
Sébastien Schultz, managing director Europe at Astellia, added: “We are honored to be recognized by Vodafone Czech Republic for our RAN expertise. Astellia supports Vodafone in strengthening their competitive positioning through monitoring and analysing network elements to ensure a superior customer experience.”
