High-level description of Rorotika's SON Suite (Self-Organising Network), with NetCM, NetPM, NetTrax, NetRevenue and our managed services offering NPM.
2. Rorotika’s SON
Self-Organising Network Solution
Operators need to analyse data from several different network interfaces, systems and
departments in order to optimise their network infrastructure and expenditure, while
growing ARPU, profitability and market share. Such systems include Performance
Management, Configuration Management, Fault Management, Customer Experience
SON Features Management and the Charging System.
Operators face the following challenges:
Isolation of network subsystems thwarts data analysis
Multi: Vendor, Technology, Node, Handset
Fault reporting is dispersed across systems, resulting in low visibility and accountability
Expert-driven inference engine
Root cause analysis requires manual data correlation efforts across multiple systems
Revenue-driven fault costing and ranking
Isolated systems have ineffective methods of prioritising faults and alarms
Discrepancy resolution or recommendation
reporting Lack of revenue data correlation hides valuable information about the cost of faults
and hinders effective prioritisation.
Correlation of network-based (PM) vs
handset-based (CEM) fault information Lack of CEM data correlation hides valuable information about the problems being
experienced on the ground, and their exact locations.
Geo-accurate fault detection and root-cause
analysis Rorotika’s SON is a centralised analytics and data correlation engine with the following key
components.
Route tracing, B-number analysis, policy
management, site value and upgrade /
downgrade reporting
Seamless integration between SON products
Cost-effective technologies Netcm
Strategy-based BI & reporting (Revenue vs KPI) In a complex multi-vendor and multi-technology environment, NetCM provides a brand
new, automated, repeatable and independent review of the status of network parameters.
GIS interface for easy navigation This web-based product is unique in its ability to manage core parameters, analyse
B-numbers, identify routing problems, and determine BSS parameter faults. NetCM

Simultaneous node command execution operator-specific policies. MML scripts are generated to fix inconsistencies, as well as
manage planned activities. NetCM works toward consolidating all vendor technologies on
one platform.
