- RAN: a complex network domain to plan, deploy, monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize
- How can MNOs deal with RAN complexity, which 5G (with 5G NR) exacerbates?
Challenge
Solution
- Nova RAN* + Professional Services
*based on Nova Geo, Nova Explorer, and Nova Analytics - For efficient and effective, customer-experience-based RAN planning, deployment, and operations
Note: only part of the solution may be considered in practice, while other EXFO SASS solutions are relevant too (e.g., Nova SensAI)
- Today (case study) – Innovative MNO, EMEA
Using EXFO’s solution to:- Discover RAN issues that OSS counters cannot reveal
- Minimize costly drive tests to verify RAN performance
- Understand what causes RAN issues, incl. 5G network/handset equipment immaturity
- Soon – More use of ML/AI for automated issue identification, root-cause analysis, etc.
