Mobile Operators

Leading mobile operators have chosen Packet Design's solutions to manage their increasingly complex IP packet core networks, ensure mobile broadband services, and increase readiness for the LTE evolution

Mobile operators face a number of important business and technology transitions today. Mobile phone saturation in developed markets and tremendous competition to grab marketshare in developing markets means that operators must look to mobile broadband data offerings to increase both loyalty and ARPU in order to grow their businesses. However, the growth in mobile broadband traffic can strain packet core networks and impact service quality. In addition, the looming Long-Term Evolution (LTE) of mobile networks means that the packet core will become much larger and even more complex. All of these transitions and trends mean that it is becoming more critical for mobile operators to have next-generation OAM capabilities to manage IP/MPLS network complexity.

Route Explorer and Traffic Explorer enable a higher level of service assurance for mobile operator IP/MPLS networks and services by enabling network engineers to optimize peering and transit traffic and costs, perform more accurate capacity planning, plan and validate routing and traffic changes to avoid service-impacting errors, and more quickly resolve complex network problems to increase customer satisfaction and perceived service quality. Packet Design solutions complement SNMP device management and long-range planning tools, redefining and empowering a new level of best practices that lead to reduced costs and increased competitiveness, customer satisfaction and revenues. Packet Design solutions are scalable and expandable to meet the needs of the largest and most diverse network operations, including MPLS VPN architectures. Route Explorer and Traffic Explorer's monitoring and analysis features provide unprecedented real-time visibility into correlated traffic and routing operations, enabling service providers to proactively catch and avert problems as they emerge, before they develop into service disruptions or security breaches. Troubleshooting features speed responsiveness and reduce Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) of service disruptions. Operationally accurate planning features model a variety of routing and traffic changes and failure scenarios, allowing operators to streamline routine maintenance, ensure network continuity in face of failures, and make more informed decisions about routing and peering.
