Big Data Solution For
Major Telecom Carrier
A large telecom client needed a solution that would let them efficiently analyze their incoming radio network data in real-time. They needed a tool that provided rich reporting through interactive dashboards and reports to visualize large volume streaming data while landing historical information.
Business Problem
A major U.S. wireless carrier, having launched the first wireless 4G service in the United States, was facing reporting and operational measurement problems with its Radio Access Network(RAN) which had been built in the MS Suite (legacy system). With its growing success, the company was burdened with an overwhelming data volume that had reached petabytes in size.
The RAN data is critical as it is made available to the radio-frequency engineers to monitor and correct network performance, monitor alarms, check fault tolerance, and handshakes between radio network elements.
Key Challenges
- Different data formats from different OEMs
- High volumes and loads of data, causing speed/performance issues
- Late arrival of feeds, data latency, and duplicate call data from the source
- Late arrival of feeds, data latency, and duplicate call data from the source
- Lack of analytics and multidimensional(Business & Operational) view on data
OTSI Approach
OTSI developed a robust carrier-grade OSS tool suite that collects and processes operational measurements, performance measurements, correlation of PM, fault & configuration management data. The tool was named BRTS is designed for multiple radio access networks. BRTS is vendor agnostic and can capture 1xRTT, EVDO, LTE, GSM and UMTS RAN parameters and interfaces with other carrier BSS and OSS system tools. BRTS uses the latest cutting-edge design/architecture software and big data technologies which replaced several end-of-life non-scalable tools that had become incapable of meeting their original functionality and performance levels.
OTSI Value
- Provides an overview of the entire network, interactive map-based dashboards, customized KPIs, and user-based ad hoc reporting capability.
- Enables quick access for RAN engineers to address issues faster
- Presents stored information in an organized format while maintaining real-time metrics
- Offers ten times the new insights through dynamic spatial data visualizations at half of the cost
- Supplies analytics and multidimensional (Business & Operational) view on data
