Network & Service Analyzer (NSA)

NSA is a suite of fully-automated software applications designed for effective troubleshooting and the optimization of mobile networks and services. NSA allows users to trace subscribers' calls both in real time and offline as they travel across the network over multiple interfaces and over several network elements, such as control plane and user plane analysis. Identification of network problems and
service quality degradation (from the symptom down to the root cause) becomes tremendously fast and easy.

 

Network Service Analyzer

 

 

The NSA's capabilities and benefits can be realized across LTE, UMTS (including HSPA), WiMAX and 2.5G/2G networks. It is also designed to support the K18 and K15 platforms. As a result, time required to obtain and analyze data from across all wireless mobile networks is greatly reduced. In addition, carriers can realize improved network efficiency and effective optimization of infrastructure.

(NSA) Features & Benefits

  • Scalable platform, starting from a single probe to multiple time-synchronized probes
  • Distributed configuration probes synchronized via LAN
  • Mobile network operators and equipment manufacturers can identify the root cause of poor QoS by mapping service problems into the underlying network
  • NSA runs on a Windows XP or Windows server-based PC
  • The PC performs application measurements and acts as a data archive server
    NSA provides full visibility of an entire cell by connecting it to a base station. It also aligns the signaling information of multiple interfaces to find the root cause of problems
  • NSA dramatically reduces the costs associated with drive test by collecting inexpensive radio measurement data that is generated by real network users
  • The built-in hardware filters eliminate unnecessary data, thereby reducing processing time
  • Multiple technicians can work in parallel by sharing the same information collected by the measurement device.

As a result, productivity increases by reducing wait time for access to test and measurement equipment
