Tektronix Communications RAN Performance Optimization Solution Available on Industry-Leading GeoProbe System
OptiMon for GeoProbe Solution Combines Radio Optimization with 24/7 End-to-End Network Wide Monitoring
RICHARDSON, Texas, Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tektronix Communications, a leading worldwide provider of communications test and Network Intelligence solutions, today announced the availability of an integrated solution for the industry-leading GeoProbe system. OptiMon for GeoProbe allows customers to leverage their investment with the fully scalable, 24/7 real-time network-wide monitoring platform based on GeoProbe with a state-of-the-art 3G RAN performance optimization solution provided by OptiMon. This combined integrated solution allows service providers to improve subscriber accessibility, retainability and performance of their mobile networks.
The rapid success of mobile broadband and the huge demand for high speed data services is making it more imperative for mobile service providers to ensure that their 3G network performance is properly optimized. It is also becoming increasingly complex and often inefficient for mobile service providers to gain a deep understanding of their RAN performance through the process and tools they have inherited from legacy technology operations, which involve time and cost-intensive network audits, and the use of a subset of statistics gathered from the radio network.
"As a market leader in mobile network monitoring and protocol analysis based troubleshooting, Tektronix Communications is dedicated to providing new solutions to assure network and service performance, and customer experience," said Olga Yashkova, Frost & Sullivan. "Tektronix Communications' new OptiMon offering for GeoProbe addresses the needs of multiple radio access departments within the service provider to improve their daily network management, troubleshooting, and optimization workflows as network traffic and complexity continues to grow."
The OptiMon for GeoProbe solution offers an integrated suite of products that gather critical, real-time data from the 3G network. The captured data is analyzed to provide Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and long-term trending analysis. Beyond detecting performance issues, users can also perform level 2 & 3 advanced RAN troubleshooting analysis to determine and isolate issues such as multi-RAB problems caused by smartphones, and other devices.
"Tektronix Communications is responding to our customers' demand for flexible, intelligent solutions that give them the ability to rapidly resolve issues," said Richard Kenedi, vice president, Test and Optimization, Tektronix Communications. "We are pleased to be able to leverage some of our products to provide our customers broader solutions. This combined offering helps our customers improve business agility by optimizing network infrastructure to deliver higher quality services faster and more efficiently, and improve their market competitiveness via a 3G RAN optimization solution combined with a 24/7 end-to-end network monitoring solution."

About GeoProbe
GeoProbe provides network engineers with the information needed to solve network and service problems across technologies, applications and element vendors. The solution enables engineers to proactively address quality performance issues through the use of near real-time alerts and ongoing historical analysis for more focused and effective troubleshooting. More information can be found at: http://www.tektronixcommunications.com/geoprobe.
About OptiMon
OptiMon is an integrated suite of products that gathers control and user plane performance data from 3G RAN interfaces (Iub, Iu, and Iur). This gives mobile operators the ability to identify in real-time the root cause of quality of service issues by mapping service problems with underlying radio or core network problems. OptiMon's unique set of features, measurements and analysis for troubleshooting and optimization sets it apart from any test or Network Equipment Manufacturing tools available in the industry today.
