Trendium, a provider of Customer Experience Assurance (CEA) and Analytics solutions for fixed and mobile broadband communications service providers, today announced that it will present its new assurance solution for 4G/LTE RAN & Backhaul at the MWC 2013 in Barcelona. The system, both hardware and software, will be on display at the Trendium booth in Hall 5, 5G12. Communications service providers (CSPs), media, and editors will be able to “see,” “touch,” and “experience” a new paradigm in 4G/LTE RAN & Backhaul Assurance.

“CSPs around the world are quickly migrating to 4G/LTE in order to cope with and capitalize on the exponential growth of mobile broadband traffic and the broad penetration of smart devices and applications,” stated Dr. Sameh Yamany, President and CEO of Trendium, Inc. “4G/LTE is a new, unexplored frontier. CSPs will face a new reality and a very different technical challenge. 4G/LTE has a flat, IP-based network architecture all the way to the eNB and features much more sophisticated and complex resource management, a newly introduced, data-driven user context management approach, and critical routing and resource allocation decisions made at the very end of the network in the radio access. All of this creates a strong need for real-time visibility in the RAN and the Backhaul, combined with the ability to 'see' an integrated view of network performance in that area based on data taken from network interfaces, network elements, end devices, and also the end user.”

Trendium’s new solution for 4G/LTE RAN & Backhaul Assurance is part of the 4G/LTE Customer Experience Assurance & Analytics Portfolio, all of which will be on display at the MWC. The RAN & Backhaul Assurance solution consists of ViewPORT™, a cloud-based Applications & Analytics portal, and a set of 4G/LTE-specific Network Access Agents (NAA^®), which include a very compact and cost-effective RAN probe. The NAA^®s are capable of collecting data from S1 and X2 interfaces as well as directly from eNB, MME, and SGW, or their Element Management Systems (EMS). In addition, the NAA^® family includes a smart device application, namely Peg™, that enables the collection of information directly through the end device, such as device type and operating system, downlink broadband data speed and delay, as well as an experience rating provided directly by the end user. Peg™ is available in the app stores and can also be white labeled for service providers that want to provide it to their VIP customers.

“Trendium brings the future of 4G/LTE Assurance to MWC 2013,” stated Dr. Yamany. “Visitors will be able to see our deployment of Peg™ in the city of Barcelona, which features a live customer experience map, namely PegMap™, for each of the top three service providers in the city. We will also have the entire NAA^® family of probes, including the new RAN probe, on display and will give a live demonstration of ViewPORT™ for 4G/LTE RAN and Backhaul Assurance. At the show, the first ten service providers that sign up to do a field trial of our solution will receive our 4G/LTE RAN field trial package, which includes hardware, software, and professional services, at a minimal price.”

About Trendium’s solutions for Customer Experience Assurance and Analytics

Trendium’s solutions provide CSPs with an unprecedented ability to identify, isolate, and resolve the network and service performance issues that have the biggest impact on the real customer experience, and allows them to do so in a fraction of the time (minutes instead of days), and with a fraction of the personnel, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and equipment footprint.

About the NAA^® family

The NAA^® family enables collection from any data source along the head-to-end service path: traffic, infrastructure, device, and end user. It includes a set of 1U rack-mount probes with port speeds from 1GE to 100GE that typically only take 1/10 of the footprint of today’s monitoring systems and a fraction of the price. The new NAA^® family also features interactive smart device agents that collect location-based perceived customer experience and network performance data in real time, as well as a large set of 300+ adapters for collection from network elements, EMSs, NMSs, B/OSS applications, and 3^rd party probes.
