Transport (any-haul) - monitoring

USE
CASE

3

  • The transport (any- or back- and, as per the new RAN architecture, front- and mid-haul) network is crucial for the 5G performance and success
  • How can MNOs monitor transport (e.g. backhaul) performance cost-effectively?

Challenge

Rectangle, Font
  • Nova Active* + Professional Services
    *includes probes, and Nova Worx
  • For proactive IP testing/monitoring of the transport domain in any network, incl. 5G

Solution

Note: only part of the solution may be considered in practice, while other EXFO SASS solutions are relevant too (e.g., Nova SensAI)

Results

  • Today (case study) – Leading MNO, N. America
    Using EXFO’s solution to monitor leased backhaul performance (24x7 SLA compliance) with real-time alerting:
    • Detect and locate poor-service areas before subscribers are impacted
    • Lower MTTR and improve customer satisfaction
  • Soon –Reliance on ML/AI for more effective, incl. predictive, transport network monitoring
