Overview
4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) has quickly become the
access network technology of choice for next-generation
cellular network deployments. It allows mobile operators
to offer high-speed mobile connections and cost effective
Internet applications, and has been confirmed as the fastest
developing mobile system technology ever.

At the same time, the use of multiple vendor technologies
PERFORMANCE creates new challenges in gaining end-to-end visibility of
performance and availability of 4G LTE and IP Multimedia
MANAGEMENT. Subsystem (IMS) networks and services. The result: a data
collection challenge that puts mobile operators at risk of
not having visibility into critical network elements when
issues arise. This “visibility gap” puts 4G LTE and IMS teams
in the dark at exactly the time they need complete, real-time
visibility into infrastructure performance.
Additionally, mobile operators face the challenge of monitoring large
scale networks as LTE/IMS architecture collapses what were previously
two separate networks (voice and data) into a single all-IP system. These
networks may include as many as five core, multi-vendor systems: radio
access network, aggregation and backhaul, Ethernet packet core, MPLS
transport/backbone, and the IMS core.
PERFORMANCE • Effectively manage and optimize capacity while reducing LTE, backhaul, and
IMS expenditure and customer churn.
CHALLENGES. • Proactively monitor LTE and IMS performance to ensure the infrastructure at all
points meets current service level agreements and addresses future demands.
• Optimize LTE and IMS infrastructures to support increased multi-media traffic
levels, markets and geographies.
• Isolate, determine and alert on performance issues ahead of service impact
to meet and exceed customer expectations.
