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
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
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.
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.

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.
