Digitata Networks’ Network Parameter Audit service, NPA, provides an automated, repeatable and independent review of an operator’s network parameter status.

With NPA, parameter information can be automatically processed, configuration inconsistencies can be highlighted and key areas where settings do not conform to OEM best practices or operator specific policies can be pinpointed.

The NPA service is performed using Digitata Networks’ NetCM solution, a vendor agnostic, multi-technology and multi-domain network configuration management tool.

NPA Group OPCO Reports

For Group OPCOs, Digitata Networks offers a Network Parameter Health Report, which provides a standardised way to compare and measure the different networks in the group with one another in terms of parameter issues using a Network Parameter Health Index (NPHI).

An audit is run on each network, and an NPHI value is assigned based on the number of errors identified in the network, taking into consideration the impact of the issues on network performance as well as the network size.

NPA Use Cases

Menu

A number of operators have seen significant improvement in network quality and revenue after fixing issues that were identified using Digitata Network’s NPA Service.

Using NPA, we identified over 9000 One Way Intra Frequency Neighbours configured in the network at a small African operator. These were subsequently fixed, and an improvement in Handover Success Rate was seen.

An operator in Europe was concerned about feature utilisation in their network. With NPA, we were able to identify that the HSPA+ feature was not enabled correctly on 10% of cells. After identifying the cells, the feature was enabled, ensuring that the network assets were being used to their full potential.

At a Tier 1 operator in Africa, we found that due to configuration and transmission restraints EDGE was disabled for certain cells.

The Huawei feature, FLEXIBLE ABIS makes ABIS utilisation more efficient. Enabling this feature on the affected cells ensured that EDGE could be enabled on these cells.

NPA identified 5% of the network that was configured to FIXED ABIS. These cells were reconfigured to include FLEXIBLE ABIS and EDGE was enabled at the same time.

There was a significant increase in EDGE traffic, and increased revenue as a result.

Edge Not Enabled

One Way Neighbours

With NPA, a number of Deactivated and Blocked cells were identified at a small network in Africa. A few of these cells belonged to new sites, but many cells were active in the network previously.

After activating the cells that were not supposed to be deactivated, the operator saw an increase in traffic due to the affected cells now being able to process calls.

Challenges on passive assets Offered Solution

Why Asset Verification

Inability to proactivelytrack assets

Inconsistent capturingof information

No standard way to identify all passive

assets

Centralised FAR database that is

populated with correct information

Active and passive data consolidated in a

single DB

Verifiable, geo-located and photographic

evidence of every asset identified

Digitised at source

Near real-time access to captured data (Remote Receiver

Deployment)

Multi-vendor, automated active asset gathering,

hardware identification and software version

identification

Inability to account for equipment leads to

the FAR not reflecting what is actually in the

field

Loss of information

Assets easily movedby vendors or stolen

Inconsistent description of

information elements and their conditions

Once equipment is in the field, operator has little control of it. For example, where the

equipment is situated
