Ooredoo Global Services (OGS) has selected a service assurance system from Empirix to monitor the quality and availability of its wholesale services.OGS was established as the wholesale arm of Ooredoo in 2014, to offer a single point of contact for wholesale carriers looking to access the global networks of its operating companies, and continues to extend its range of international partnerships to position itself as a leading exchange for voice, data, capacity and roaming services.
The Empirix platform uses a flexible, state-of-the-art passive probe system to collect customer data and quickly transform it into meaningful and actionable information, enabling OGS to ensure the best service for its customers.
OGS selected the Empirix service assurance monitoring solution to gain visibility into the international connections providing carriers with access to its voice and 2G/3G roaming services.
