Mobile network monitoring solutions provider, Astellia, has signed a major contract with Unitel, Angola’s biggest mobile phone operator, which will see Astellia provide Unitel with a complete exchange to exchange (E2E) overview
Astellia’s solution is used for service troubleshooting and performance monitoring and will provide Unitel with full E2E details - from RAN to Core network - of their 2G, 3G and 4G traffic.
By using data coming from Astellia’s Neptune probes, technical teams can quickly identify and diagnose network issues and better target network optimisation activities.
Through network and customer analytics, consumption of network resources is also followed up in real-time, allowing a better understanding of their behaviour.
"Astellia’s track record and global experience in passive network monitoring will help us gain more visibility and control of what is happening on our network," said Amílcar F. Safeca, deputy CEO of Unitel Angola. "Hereby, we can increase problem resolution efficiency and increase our knowledge of our subscribers’ usage."
Jean-Philippe Larvol, Astellia’s managing director for Africa, added, "We are excited to help Unitel in ensuring their network performance is at its best. By providing a 360° visibility into customers’ usage behaviour, the network – both core and RAN, and the handset, Unitel can proactively resolve issues to deliver enhanced subscriber experience and generate incremental revenue."
