NITRO GEO GEOperformance Location Intelligence RAN Performance Engineering Software
Location intelligence software on the NITRO platform for RAN planning and performance engineering using geolocated measurements.
Overview
NITRO GEO GEOperformance is a location intelligence application built on the VIAVI Network Integrated Test, Real-time analytics and Optimization (NITRO) intelligence platform. It applies location intelligence to RAN planning and performance engineering, with the aim of increasing operational efficiency and improving the network performance experienced by subscribers.
Performance analysis
The user interface lets engineers view maps and tables of RF KPIs such as signal strength and interference, based on actual measurements geolocated to building-level accuracy. Maps and tables can be analyzed and filtered to find problem areas, such as areas with high dropped call rates. Individual calls can be selected and their full Layer 3 detail viewed to find the root cause.
Automated detection and optimization
Automated problem detection directs engineers to areas of the network that do not meet defined KPI thresholds. Automated optimization functions recommend changes to neighbour relationships, identify scrambling code and frequency clashes, and propose resolutions. Dedicated reports identify coverage overshoots and guide engineers to the correct antenna tilt adjustment.
