Teoco has announced the launch of Asset Capacity, its newly rebranded network capacity planning tool.
Asset Capacity allows CSPs to plan their entire network capacity across each element, from radio access to backhaul and transport core. It provides network visualisation, capacity management and scenario forecasting. Previously called Dimension, the new name reflects the tool’s full integration into Teoco’s Asset planning suite. In addition to improvements to the software, its integration with Asset now serves the entire network planning process.
New to Asset Capacity in this version is an optional module which provides full automatic data loading from the live network. CSPs can automatically incorporate all of their live network’s multi-vendor and multi-technology topology – sites, network elements, physical links, routing paths and more – into Asset Capacity’s planning modules. No manual processing is required, and the process can be scheduled so data is always up to date.
CSPs can also plan capacity against specific KPIs. The selected KPI can be loaded from the performance management system and visualised for each cell and site in Asset Capacity, to ensure that planning and metrics are aligned.
The new version also includes improved modelling of IP/MPLS services. This part of the network can now be visualised, making identifying potential bottlenecks and issues with future traffic growth simpler. Other improvements include better modelling of hybrid links, and fast traffic scaling to better evaluate forecasts.
“Our renaming of Asset Capacity is about more than making our branding consistent,” said Atul Jain, the CEO of Teoco. “By adding Asset Capacity into our wider suite of network planning tools, we’re providing operators with a comprehensive solutions portfolio for planning their networks based on actual subscriber usage and traffic patterns.”
