OPTIMIZE YOUR FWA NETWORK EXPERIENCE AND MAXIMIZE PROFITABILITY

Monitoring the core

Monitoring the transport

Monitoring the RAN

These solutions must align with the evolving 5G Core service- based architecture, accommodating virtualization seamlessly while efficiently capturing traffic and supporting Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS). They should offer comprehensive visibility into various dimensions, encompassing the customer, their device, and their traffic through advanced Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) for precise traffic classification. FWA traffic is substantially higher than standard mobile consumers, making monitoring 5G Core capacity essential.

Assurance tools should extend their capabilities to encompass visibility into the dynamic network resources and infrastructure. This involves not only monitoring the performance and capacity of the underlying Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network but also offering segmentation insights into how various services – including FWA, network slices, and Mobile Broadband (eMBB) – utilize transport network capacity. This segmentation enables operators to discern potential conflicts among services and manage bandwidth and traffic steering efficiently. In the context of such a dynamic traffic environment, these tools should demonstrate intelligence in predicting bottlenecks and forecasting capacity needs, ensuring uninterrupted and optimal service delivery.

In addition to serving the mobile subscriber base, radio networks must now accommodate Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) traffic seamlessly without disrupting existing services. Assurance tools play a crucial role in continuously monitoring Radio Access Network (RAN) performance and capacity to ensure the seamless operation of all services, especially during seasonal traffic peaks. Another critical aspect involves monitoring radio quality and promptly obtaining Radio Frequency (RF) diagnostics to pinpoint whether degradations stem from issues like poor Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) coverage, radio interference, or overshooting cells. Tools must also facilitate comprehensive troubleshooting for each individual customer.
