Mobile network operators are facing increased pressure from carriers and cable companies to offer more revenue-generating services. As a result, they are quickly enhancing their wireless service offerings with fully converged voice, video, and data services. Concurrently, mobile operators are transitioning their networks to IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) frameworks to add more customers and build loyalty.
All of this leads to a number of challenges that mobile operators need to address, including:
- Changing user expectations with new service rollouts
- Increasing user reliance on wireless services
- More complex network architectures
- Inadequate legacy monitoring tools
- Lack of service performance visibility on subscribers' handsets
The Brix System's BrixMobile Test Suite monitors service availability and performance throughout mobile operators' core and IP access networks and out to subscribers' handsets, while ensuring the quality delivery of voice, video, and data services.
