On Demand Webinars

Mobile broadband demand is increasing at an astonishing rate. At the current rate of adoption it will not be long before operators with legacy network architectures will lack the performance needed to deliver adequate Quality of Experience for consumers and the financial performance needed for operators to prosper.

The panel discuss:

Leverage Real-Time Device, Service, Experience, and Network Analytics to Transform your Customer Service Strategy

The past year has seen the intersection between Customer Experience Management, customer service and real-time analytics. However, this has not yet resulted in dramatic improvements in customer service - most CEM initiatives are siloed and have not yet reached the device level.

In addition, a vast quantity of network and service management data continues to be under-utilised. This webinar will discuss:

Understand more about the challenges operators and manufacturers face in developing and deploying voice-over-LTE.

LTE promises greatly accelerated data rates — even when mobile users are travelling at hundreds of kilometers per hour. However, as LTE moves from the labs into actual deployments, debates over the glaring gap in delivering voice over an LTE network are growing.

Voice is the major revenue generator for operators, and voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) is now being touted as the technology of choice for delivering voice to LTE networks.

In this webinar EXFO’s LTE experts examine the benefits of VoLTE, and the challenges (both pre-deployment and post-deployment) faced by manufacturers and operators developing and deploying VoLTE networks.

As the popularity of smartphones and other intelligent devices increases, mobile operators' future revenue growth hinges upon their ability to deliver a wider range of mobile broadband applications and services. However, delivering such applications and services can quickly overwhelm the capacity of current 3G and associated backhaul networks. As a result, an accelerating transition to LTE and other 4G network technologies is well underway. In fact, within the next five to ten years LTE will become the most widely adopted mobile network standard around the world.

Data is different. Voice based concepts like ‘busy hour’ and ‘Erlangs’ are no longer appropriate when it comes to designing backhaul networks for mobile broadband. In this webinar we drill down into some real traffic measurements from live voice and data centric networks. A model for data traffic is developed which can be used to predict traffic levels across the transport network. We consider the roll out and consumer adoption of LTE, and the evolving backhaul capacity requirements, from the last mile to the core.

Hear how converged policy management can benefit your organisation

Until now, real-time charging and policy management have been implemented as separate applications. But a business case is emerging to integrate, and potentially even converge, these two functions. To date, stand-alone policy management systems have been effective at policing network bandwidth and throttling users based on preset quotas. But are service providers missing the enormous opportunity that comes with converging this functionality with that of real-time rating and charging?

By converging policy and charging functions, policy decisions can become more valuable to the operator and relevant to the customer. By blending information from the charging application about the subscriber’s pricing, balances, spending and preferences, more intelligent and personalized policies can be created and deployed.

Telecom fraud losses plague service providers of every size – small, medium and large. These fraud losses are a direct hit to bottom-line and increase communication service provider’s operating costs. The CFCA (Communications Fraud Control Association) Global Fraud Loss Survey (2009) estimates that telcos lose approximately 4.5% of their annual revenues (US $72-80 billion globally) due to fraud.

Particularly in a small telco, there are fewer people and resources available for managing operations efficiently. To add it, license-based solutions for fraud management functions are simply too expensive for small telcos. In spite of these challenges, there is a greater need to manage business efficiently.
