Tektronix ties up with Groundhog Technologies

BARCELONA, SPAIN: Tektronix Communications, a provider of Network Intelligence and communications test solutions, today announced an innovative geolocation monitoring application as part of its OptiMon suite.

With this addition, Tektronix Communications provides operators with unprecedented deep-dive analysis that correlates all related radio and subscriber-level information into a single geo-located view in just a few mouse-clicks. This unique combination of expertise and ease-of-use will drastically improve Operator’s approach to fault isolation for RAN Optimization, said a press release.

“There are many reasons for subscribers to experience poor service quality,” said Richard Kenedi, vice president, Test & Optimization, Tektronix Communications. “But with accurate data, issues can be quickly resolved. This innovative geolocation solution accurately pinpoints poor user experience with high geographical resolution through the patented technology from Groundhog Technologies. This not only gives operators quicker resolution time, but will contribute to improving subscriber satisfaction.”

Developed by Groundhog Technologies, the geolocation application incorporates Google Earth 3D visualization, which enhances operators’ analytical capability on the geographical map. Integrated with OptiMon analysis capability, this combined, innovative application provides operators with the detailed information of dropped calls as well as the location and cell site in which the call was dropped, the release added.

David Chiou, CEO, Groundhog Technologies, said “Tektronix Communications and Groundhog Technologies have combined strength with revolutionary technology for solving radio access network challenges.”

He added that with this collaboration, we developed a solution that provides over 90 per cent accuracy for indoor coverage analysis — the highest available — for immediate deployment, which will exceed operator’s demands for network test and optimization and ultimately assure a reduction in subscriber churn
