1 Nokia Networks Performance Manager Helping operators extract relevant network insights from mountains of data

2 Helping operators extract relevant network insights from the data mountain Being able to optimize network capacity and quality according to actual demand is critical for improving operator profitability. To achieve this, operators need to answer key questions, including how to ensure and optimize the right capacity? How to maintain high quality network? How to succeed in both and with less operational expenditure (OPEX)? While the information to provide the answers may be available to the operator, it is often hidden in the mountains of data that today s networks typically produce. Operators often find the data too fragmented to be readily useful in helping them to improve the efficiency of their network operations. Instead, operators need a way to quickly identify the most relevant network insights to be able to accurately analyze the performance and use of the network resources in an end-to-end network environment. Single view of network performance and capacity Nokia Networks Performance Manager (PM) provides a single point of access for holistic network performance insight. This state-of-the-art tool helps operators to manage network performance and capacity across 2G/3G/LTE multi-vendor networks. It supports information sharing across an operator s organization, which can help achieve an immediate increase in productivity. A good example of the benefits of information sharing is a US-based operator with 300 concurrent daily users and 2,500+ registered users of its PM solution. The tool is used heavily across departments and integrates workflows, tickets, work orders, alarms and site information. Engineers save time every day because there is no need to navigate multiple tools to tie all the data together. PM combines Nokia Networks network technology know-how and extensive experience of operating, optimizing and delivering multi-technology network performance management solutions for hundreds of operators. 2 Performance Manager

3 Network Quality Indicator Easy-to-use interface based on real operations The easy-to-use, innovative webbased PM user interface is designed for operations, planning and optimization functions. Workflows are based on real operations knowhow and with a complete view of the network available on multiple devices. Performance Manager 3

4 Proven in practice Case 1 One of the most recent deployments shows how efficiently PM can be used to build, optimize and run LTE networks. A US-based operator has used the tool to closely monitor and optimize its network roll-out phase in defined locations with pilot customers, ahead of the full commercial launch. This same operator uses PM to run its 3G multivendor network, handling billions of counters per hour and hundreds of different users in its organization. Case 2 An operator in Asia uses PM to help ensure consistent network quality for its mobile broadband services. Relying on the end-to-end network view from PM for LTE, it simultaneously manages SON functions for detailed task scheduling and configuration management. This enables end-toend automated optimization of the entire network according to traffic trends and operator policies. Case 3 touch Lebanon wanted to increase the efficiency of its network operations, reduce maintenance costs and improve the quality of voice, text messaging and other data services for its subscribers. touch improved its existing network operations with cross-domain, multi-vendor capabilities and introduced PM to gain one view of performance across the network. 4 Performance Manager

5 Case 4 A European operator uses accurate and automated recommendations on network quality to ensure a successful network launch. Previously, the operator had many information sources and only a few people knew the rules for quality acceptance. With PM, the operator can now evaluate automatically if network quality is at the required level for acceptance and share this with all users consistently. This has improved operational efficiency and information sharing. Performance Manager 5

6 Operator benefits The easy-to-use, innovative webbased PM user interface is designed for operations, planning and optimization functions. Workflows are based on real operations knowhow and with a complete view of the network available on multiple devices. 1. Best-in-class network insight based on practical know-how By easily identifying network performance degradation and prioritizing the problems with the greatest impact on overall network quality, Performance Manager helps operators maintain a high quality network experience for their subscribers, maximize network investments and plan capacity growth based on demand. Operators can reduce their planning OPEX by 10-15% by focusing tasks based on capacity demand. 2. Usability based on real operations Fewer clicks and less guesswork in frontline operations. Less time and effort is needed in troubleshooting. Less manual work and fewer errors. Better information sharing simplifies operations and enables operators reduce their OPEX by 2-4 % due to faster problem resolution. 6 Performance Manager

7 3. Pre-integrated in Nokia Networks and multi-vendor networks Off-the-shelf content packs that generate multi-vendor KPIs and reports, can be delivered in just a few weeks. Performance Manager brings more than 15,000 off-the-shelf LTE/3G/2G KPIs across vendors. The built-in KPIs and reports are available for operators immediately offthe-shelf multi-vendor integrations are also available. Performance Manager is supported by Nokia Networks professional services to integrate, optimize and adapt the content for an operator s multi-technology, multi-vendor environment.
