- 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
- 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
