Nokia service to transform network optimization in the cloud era
September 22 2016 - 3:05AM
- Nokia enables new agility and flexibility in network planning
and optimization (NPO) by combining cloud technologies with global
expertise, proven tools and methodologies
- NPO Transformation service will reduce operator complexity,
shorten planning and optimization by up to 40 percent, and free up
proactive resources for other tasks
- Assessment provides comprehensive view of operational
performance and efficiency
ESPOO, Finland, Sept. 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nokia is
to launch an NPO Transformation service, leveraging its global
planning and optimization expertise, innovative software tools and
proven methodologies to provide operators with greater agility to
meet customer demand and tap into new business
opportunities.
As operators take advantage of the opportunities offered by 4.5G
and 4.5G Pro on the path towards 5G, they are tasked with
simplifying the network operations of multiple legacy radio
technologies. The Nokia NPO Transformation service will help them
do this, reducing the time spent on network planning and
optimization by up to 40 percent and freeing resources to focus on
proactive customer-centric tasks.
The service includes an operational assessment which uses value
stream mapping and a task model, developed from Nokia's extensive
experience in conducting transformation projects with multiple
operators. The assessment provides operators with a clear view of
their current performance, measuring variables such as
productivity, capital expenditure, and the level of customer
satisfaction. Armed with this data, Nokia can then work with an
operator to define its goals in these areas and put in place a
detailed transformation plan focused on roles, processes and
tools.
With access to a plethora of automated technologies and
analytics, Nokia can also provide operators with an in-depth view
of network conditions over time, allowing them to move away from
reactive, labor-intensive network operations to a more predictive
approach. With tools such as the recently launched, cloud-based AVA
platform, Nokia can enhance knowledge of the customer experience,
allowing operators to make the most of existing infrastructure and
to prioritize future investments more efficiently.
Nokia is trialing the use of new technologies such as drones to
cut the time, cost and manpower spent on traditional drive- and
walk-testing. One customer trial used drones for optimizing network
performance in a sports stadium. Nokia is also using minimization
of drive-testing features to provide a more rounded view of the
network over a longer period of time than can be gained by
traditional drive-tests. 3D Geolocation offers a more detailed
alternative, with the ability to correlate data on radio conditions
and application performance, and unlock hidden insight about the
mobile experience for subscribers inside high rise buildings. Where
tasks such as site acceptance require traditional drive-testing
activities, Nokia is using automization to speed up data
processing.
Dennis Lorenzin, head of Network Planning and Optimization at
Mobile Networks in Nokia, said: "By leveraging Nokia's global
scale, tools and its wealth of expertise in network planning and
optimization, operators can take advantage of cost structures and
technologies that may not otherwise be available to them. The Nokia
NPO Transformation service offers operators a comprehensive,
step-by-step approach to free them from many of their daily
planning and optimization tasks, allowing them to focus on their
strategic business goals."
