nScan Network Assurance

NetScan is a powerful, flexible network monitoring system that extracts information directly from the control and user plane and makes it accessible in real-time. In addition to full, end-to-end capabilities, NetScan offers continuous monitoring of 100% of transactions in real-time, ensuring that no data is lost or information missed. All transactions in the network are captured, processed, consolidated and stored for real-time or historic reporting. It offers many important features for every mobile operator.

N

Real-time 24/7, continues network monitoring, processing and data analysis.

N

Supports fixed and mobile (incl. GSM-R) voice and data networks, from SS7 to LTE – all in one system.

N

Shared-RAN support (MOCN & MORAN) including secure separation of data between MNO’s involved.

N

Reach set of pre-defined KPI’s aggregated per cell, project, region, BSC/RNC, roaming partner, terminal type.

N

Detailed analysis of radio-related problems, incl. unique full Abis coverage.

N

Network-wide call tracing with down-to-bit message decoding.

N

Open architecture ready to deploy new features (real time alarming, VIP subscriber care system, Gn, LTE).

System architecture

N

Highly distributed, scalable system architecture to cope with high load.

N

Network signalling monitored through a chain of smart TAP’s feeding local servers with pre-filtered data.

N

Captured PDU’s are decoded and processed to calculate KPI’s and correlate on various levels.

N

Multi-interface correlation is supported, including inter-BSC and inter-system HO’s.

Network status indication

N

Network status screen visualizes values of statistics with colours indicating violation of statistics pre-defined thresholds.

N

All elements on screen are active – with single mouse-click one can see statistic details, detailed cell analysis or signalling transaction.

Statistics

N

400+ KPIs calculated for all major protocols on RAN & Core interfaces

N

Daily, hourly, 15 minutes … aggregations per cell, region, cluster, etc.

N

Graphical visualisation of single statistic in many geo- and time contexts.

Call tracing

N

Calls can be analysed both in tabular and graphical formats.

N

Calls can be traced based on localization (region->project->BSC/RNC->cell), terminal or user identity (IMEI, IMSI, TMSI), selected transaction parameters (termination cause, type of transaction, etc.) or specific events like unsuccessful HO.
