Mission Possible RAN: A Strategic Playbook for Network and Business Success

With service providers investing heavily in advanced LTE and 5G technologies, skyrocketing cell growth magnifies technical complexities and creates long-term productivity challenges for RAN teams responsible for assuring subscriber handover performance.

As neighboring cell relationships are at the center of call retainability and end-user service quality, service providers rely on Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) functionality to avoid time-consuming and manual configuration tasks.

Unfortunately, most traditional ANR solutions fall short when it comes to accurately reflecting and assuring the subscriber experience.

In this session NETSCOUT technology experts will:

-Examine the business and customer impacts of cell neighbor under- and over-provisioning.
-Identify the common pitfalls associated with conventional ANR methods.
-Explore the benefits of a vendor-agnostic solution with stateful analysis and advanced data sets for machine-learning objectives.
-Outline the importance of “re-farming” and reprovisioning to serve changing coverage and capacity goals.

Modern mobile subscribers demand more—more bandwidth, more mobility, and more satisfaction. To meet these expectations, service providers are spending aggressively on new spectrum licenses and employing Carrier Aggregation (CA) techniques to maximize data rates per user, increase the overall bandwidth available, and deliver on the promises of high-speed LTE and 5G services.

But how do you know if your Carrier Aggregation implementation is performing to plan?

In this session, our experts will take a closer look at the mechanics behind Carrier Aggregation techniques as we examine the common barriers to success.

-Diversity of UE Modems with Hundreds of Possible Band Capabilities
-Siloed Views of Band Combination Utilization and Performance
-Expensive and Time-consuming Call-by-call Troubleshooting Workflows
-Complexity of Massive LTE and 5G Cell Deployments

Together we’ll build a compelling case for improving band combination performance and leveraging usage visibility with NETSCOUT’s RAN analytics solution.
