Reverb Networks completes successful self-optimizing network pilot in South America
Sterling, Virginia, January 10, 2015:Â Reverb Networks, the pioneering supplier of self-optimizing network solutions, has completed a successful pilot of the InteliSON self-optimizing network system in Brazil.
Reverb was able to successfully optimize a heavily-loaded 3G radio access network with a large percentage of cells reaching 90%+ loading, for up to 12 hours per day. Remarkably, Reverb’s InteliSON self-optimizing network trial was carried out in a fully commercial network without implementing a network freeze of any sort.
This exceptional result entailed adapting to a stream of ongoing network changes introduced by groups and processes operating in parallel to the Reverb InteliSON self-optimizing system. The Reverb SON system dynamically discovered and adapted to changes in underlying network configuration supplied by other processes without requiring any manual intervention.
“This is really a breakthrough,†said Zoran Kehler, Reverb Networks CEO. “Most competing SON systems need a steady-state network environment to operate effectively. But Reverb is able to provide all the benefits of SON without enforcing artificial restrictions and disruptive freezes on the network.â€
“Reverb not only improved performance drastically, but managed this improvement while constantly adapting to network changes introduced through other engineering processes, which is a highly desirable capability for a real-world SON system – you can’t just stop optimizing or building out a network because an existing cell has been re-configured, re-homed, or a new cell has been added,†he continued.
Unique streaming performance analytics built into Reverb Networks InteliSON provided explicit indications about where the highly-loaded and congested cells were located. These detailed analytics allow mobile network operators to pinpoint precise geographical areas for network densification or capacity enhancements.
The result of the trial was a very strong improvement in critical KPIs, while at the same time achieving an increase in total traffic served by the network. This demonstrates the key value of a self-optimizing network system – improving monetization without sacrificing quality or performance.
Reverb Networks will be represented at the forthcoming Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona Spain, from 2-5 March 2015.
