Agilent Technologies have announced the end-to-end analysis and troubleshooting solution for LTE networks. The Signalling Analyser Real Time (SART) for LTE provides monitoring and network diagnostics by interpreting, correlating and analysing protocol signalling messages produced by multiple network technologies at mobile network interfaces.
Agilent Technologies new LTE solution extends the SART platform, which covers mobile networks such as GSM/GPRS, UMTS, CDMA2000 as well as service delivery platforms such as VoIP and IMS. Since real-world LTE does not function in isolation, lab engineers need to monitor and analyse communications between LTE and other network technologies.
Agilent Technologies SART for LTE is a solution that combines these capabilities within a single proven platform. Network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) can use it to refine their technology against test benchmarks. WSPs can use the solution to accelerate trials, deployment and operations, and quickly provide consumers with reliable services over LTE networks.
Agilent Technologies have combined distributed probing, software and hardware intelligence, multi-user access and real-time network performance analysis to make SART for LTE a fast solution. Agilent Technologies probes can be placed anywhere in the network, including at any interface between LTE and other technologies.
Probes use built-in hardware intelligence to perform relevant analyses that enable faster processing and scalability. This is critical in LTE environments, where performance demands are expected to increase. SART's real-time network performance analysis provides real-time measurements against key performance indicators (KPIs) as defined by LTE standards organisations. This lets users instantly see what is happening on the network at a given time.
