Prioritize Mobile Subscriber Experience with Scalable Radio Access Network Monitoring

InfiniStreamNG RAN (ISNG RAN) enables data collection, correlation, IMSI and IMEI enrichment and storage across legacy and next-generation access technologies for use with monitoring, troubleshooting, geolocation and analytics applications. Cost-effective, cloud-ready RAN wireless network monitoring of eNodeBs, MMEs, RNCs and BSCs trace ports delivers real-time views of the RAN control plane for end-to-end visibility across physical and virtual environments.

Benefits

Simplify Deployment, Minimize Cost

Software cloud-based solution delivers a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) allowing trace port data capture from normal LAN connections.

Deliver Quality

Meet rising customer expectations with proactive monitoring at the source of complex congestion and interference issues.

Accelerate Troubleshooting Tasks

A unified view of subscriber traffic across network boundaries (RAN and Core) and technology domains (5G/NB-IoT/LTE/3G/2G) enables swift isolation and resolution of network and service problems.

Drive Network and Service Evolution

Comprehensive 5G, NB-IoT, LTE and 3G vendor and Inter-RAT support scales for networkwide 24x7 monitoring over 1M cells without data loss.

Proactively Address the Majority of Subscriber Issues with Critical RAN Information

Nearly 80% of dropped calls originate in the radio access network. From limited coverage to unavailable radio resources and congestion, problems in the RAN wireless network can have a negative impact on customer satisfaction, new service revenues and CAPEX budgets. ISNG RAN enables visibility into metrics unavailable with core interface monitoring including radio signal quality, admission and ciphering failures, network element and cell handover identification and geolocation. This information may be combined with core metrics to facilitate efficient resolution, assure success of new technology or guide planning efforts for capacity buildout.

Features

Multi-Vendor, Multi-Technology Visibility

Support for live and historical capture of 2G, 3G, LTE and 5G trace port feeds from a wide mix of vendors and technologies extends visibility for improved troubleshooting. With ISNG RAN, collected data is made available in nGenius Session Analyzer workflows for a comprehensive and actionable view of the end-to-end subscriber experience.
RAN Flow Broker Functionality

Optimize TrueCall® deployments with traffic distribution and multiplier modes to ensure geographic provisioning and feed duplication integrity. Load balancing, redundancy and trace port quality monitoring capabilities fortify ISNG RAN feeds for near real-time analysis and troubleshooting.
RAN Analytics Feeds

Improve understanding and accelerate the investigation of subscriber-impacting issues with RAN-based subscriber health and subscriber activity data sets in nGenius Business Analytics (nBA). With ISNG RAN, RF quality metrics are made available for display in combination with VoLTE, OTT Video and User Plane information for contextual association of underlying radio conditions and events.
Location Session Records

A geolocation engine allows for tagging of calls with current longitude, latitude, indoor/outdoor and confidence for use with TrueCall or third-party applications.

Historical layer 3 messages and session records stored on ISNG RAN are made available to applications on-demand when additional investigation is needed.
