One of the largest mobility operators in Europe, with a presence across multiple countries, wanted to optimize their RAN infrastructure with minimal human effort spent on the quality analysis of the sites. TCTS' Site Quality as a service (SQAAS) solution monitored ~500 KPIs and automated KPI computation utilizing various data points, such as performance data, drive test data, scanner data and crowdsourced data. The initiative led to optimized efforts and reduction in CAPEX through optimum site configurations.
One of the largest mobility operators in the European region, with a presence across multiple countries, wanted to serve maximum consumers using minimum RAN sites. They also wanted to limit human effort spent on the quality analysis of the sites. TCTS' SQAAS solution monitored ~500 KPIs and automated KPI computation utilizing various data points, such as performance data, drive test data, scanner data and crowdsourced data. The initiative led to critical manhour savings and reduction in CAPEX through optimum site configurations.
New business models are emerging with innovative technologies like 5G, virtualization etc, allowing telcos to go beyond offering voice and data services. The success of telcos in the new world order will depend on their capability to leverage network intelligence.
TCTS offers a suite of services powered by advanced analytics and AI to deliver enhanced management based on intelligent fault prediction and closed-loop automation.
TCTS’ predictive Analytics helped a Tier 1 Telco in UK achieve 99.8% network uptime and improved customer experience by predicting network faults before they occurred. The network logic automated fault localization assisting assurance teams to fix the fault proactively resulting in 40% reduction in tickets, 20% reduction in field visits resulting in reduced costs.
TCTS’ offers a range of services to enable service providers to ensure the smooth adoption of cloud solutions so they are able to leverage the benefits of agility, flexibility, programmability and scalability. With next-generation network architecture that combines SDN, NFV, and cloud-native technology into a distributed computing network, telcos can quickly introduce new services, ensure faster response to the evolving market dynamics and more efficiently manage their resources.
TCTS solution offers a cloud-native MANO platform from Ubiqube for multiple virtualized and/or containerized network functions from various domains. It also provides NFVI Support System by integrating with multiple OSS systems.
TCTS leveraged its global experience to provide MANO professional services with VNF & CNF onboarding, integration and lifecycle management based on ETSI standards. This enabled the telco to seamlessly integrate multiple technologies across multiple vendors on the telco cloud enabling them to realize the true benefits of virtualization.
Telcos networks are highly complex involving multi-technology and multi-OEM environments requiring expertise across multiple administrative domains and infrastructure tools and platforms. CSPs need Multi-Domain Service Orchestrator (MDSO) to gain crucial agility to take advantage of the emerging revenue-generating services and scale the network as required.
TCTS’ MDSO powered by Ubiqube is designed to automate and orchestrate across multi- technology domains from multiple vendor digital infrastructures, including SD-WAN, security, edge, 5G, RAN, IoT and legacy networks. This provides a single pane of glass with multi-tenancy for CSPs to deploy or operate multi- technology, Multi-OEM solutions addressing one of the major challenges of the skill gap
Different SDWAN solutions offer their unique set of features, benefits and differentiation resulting in operators deploying multiple SDWAN solutions based on customer requirements.
TCTS has integrated and tested SDWAN solutions from different OEMs on a single MDSO instance. This resulted in a single pane of glass to control across the two SDWAN solutions there by simplifying initial SDWAN configuration and service assurance. This helps telcos operated across multi-technology and multi-OEM environments with minimal skillset changes.
Wireless networks are now expected to provide extreme availability for all applications and ensure truly ubiquitous connectivity at all times.
