Learn new methods to optimise your network end to end
On 2 December, Mobile Europe will hold a live webinar, Mobile End to End: Maximise the Business Performance of your Network, that explores how operators can introduce new network monitoring approaches to optimise their networks in the most profitable manner.
The lead speaker will be Francesco Pumelli, Product Manager for Mobile Business Intelligence solutions at CommProve, and a former radio network optimisation manager for Wind Italy. Keith Dyer, Editor of Mobile Europe and host of the webinar, asked Francesco what information and knowledge the webinar will share with attendees.
Keith:
Francesco, what can we expect from this webinar?
It looks like the focus will be on how to align network monitoring in a new dimension to focus on mobile operator business priorities.
Francesco:
Yes, what I’d really like to do is highlight the importance of getting the right balance between the quality of a network and the profits made. Mobile operators are looking for efficient business drivers for CAPEX and OPEX usage, hitting the sweet spot on the optimum performance for profitability.
Keith:
Why do you think these are important issues currently for mobile operators?
Francesco:
Today, operators have tools which are capable of monitoring a wide set of interfaces in real-time — but only at certain points of the network and not correlated end to end. They also have powerful protocol analysis tools for trouble-shooting their networks — but not on a real time, network wide basis. What they need is a 24×7 tool that helps them make the right decisions on where to invest in the network to obtain maximum profit on performance and capacity to hit the sweet spot.
Keith:
Do you think you will be presenting something new for mobile operators, some new insights into how they can solve those issues you mentioned?
Francesco:
Yes, we will provide a new approach to network-wide, end to end, correlated monitoring, leading to a complete view of resource, user, network performance and usage, allowing a business centric approach to network improvements.
Keith:
Will we see some real world examples of how operators can benefit from the end to end, real time approach you have mentioned?
Francesco:
Yes, but they will be anonymous until we have legal release from our customers. But we have extensive examples of where real business benefits can be achieved with our new approach.
Keith:
What about your own background in this area? Tell us what experience you will be bringing to the webinar, working in this field.
