Transparent network-performance verification for LTE rollouts - how to verify an LTE deployment

Many operators have chosen to deploy 4G LTE networks to support the rollout of new services and enhance user experience. The deadlines to deploy LTE networks are very tight and as networks become increasingly complex a need has arisen for a simple and transparent network-performance verification process.

LTE networks provide the higher capacity and data speeds required to support ever-increasing numbers of mobile-broadband subscriptions, smartphones and other connected devices. The timely deployment of LTE networks is crucial for launching new services, support faster data speeds, provide greater capacity, and reduce investment costs.

The network complexity created by such new services, new types of devices, multiple technologies, and multiple-vendor deployments requires an efficient approach to network-performance verification from initial testing through to in-service operation. The aim of such an approach is to allow operators to focus on bringing LTE networks into service quickly with the required level of network performance for successful commercial launch and continued operation.
