Tellabs provides big network data smarts to Vodafone Ireland

Vodafone Ireland is using data analysis services from Tellabs to help it optimise and manage its multi-vendor 3G network.

Tellabs’ Insight Analytics will churn through the operators’ network-related data to product “actionable insights” to enable Vodafone to optimise network performance and improve quality of service, as well as drive capacity management and root-cause fault analysis, the companies announced today.

“By analysing the data generated by our own network, we will have the ability to view the bigger picture and take action on correlated information that has the highest impact on customer quality of experience,” said Kevin O’Neill,  Head of Transmission Planning and Network Engineering, Vodafone Ireland. “We will be able to troubleshoot network issues faster. This will help us prevent network outages and provide adequate bandwidth capacity to our customers when and where they need it.”
 
Using a Software as a Service (SaaS) approach to analytics, the Tellabs Insight Analytics Service gains a comprehensive view of service performance from network behavioral patterns over time. Using this approach, Tellabs enables the service provider to focus on using the information to improve their network.
 
“As networks evolve from TDM to IP and 3G to LTE, service providers are faced with increasing challenges in providing outstanding network performance,” said Scott Forbes, vice president, Global Services at Tellabs. “With our global expertise in mobile networks, Tellabs provides a competitive and unique analytics solution that helps our customers continue to succeed.”
