Adding "real time cell awareness" could save an operator with 120,000 base stations €1.48 million a month in lost revenues, network assurance company CommProve has said today.
CommProve said that a "congested" base station could cost an operator €1700 per month per base station. Basing its calculations on an operator with 120,000 base stations, CommProve has extrapolated losses to that monthly loss of nearly €1.5 million.
Commprove provided the following table to show its working, which it said came from data collected from its own network operator customers:
| Example Use Case*: | (Euro) |
| Monthly revenue from 1 BTS with congestion | €55,500 |
| Monthly revenue from 1 BTS without congestion | €57,200 |
| Number of BTSs full coverage | 120,000 |
| Estimated number of congested BTSs | 8,400 |
| Estimated number of congested hours (in a month) | 75 |
| Revenue loss saving per month | €1,487,500 |
