With the surge in data and application traffic, some operators are struggling not only to optimize, but also monetize this traffic. The high-value, cross-domain data Tektronix Communications probes collect and correlate provides operators the ability to see quality and usage at the end-user level, including the handset and application. Since mobile usage varies tremendously by country and segment, operators need to quickly understand the types of applications that are being used in real-time in order to capitalize on opportunities for targeted custom upsell or cross-sell programs.

Tektronix Communications solutions, which address this need, include:

• Deep Packet Classification (DPC) solution – Enables operators to clearly understand what services are consuming the valuable network bandwidth on a per-subscriber basis enabling them to protect and maximize their revenue-generating potential.
• TouchPoint – Provides the ability to proactively monitor and manage, in real time, the lifecycle experience of every customer, ensuring true end-to-end Quality of Experience.
• GeoProbe G10 – Based on the industry-leading GeoProbe, the high-speed, high-density 10GE probe features a distributed architecture optimized to handle high bandwidth IP traffic.
• Iris Analyzer toolset – Includes Iris Protocol Analyzer (PA), Iris Session Analyzer (ISA) and Iris Traffic Analyzer (ITA), which provides L2 to L7 troubleshooting by characterizing IP traffic by links, applications and servers.
• IrisView – Easy-to-use, configurable software framework that provides a single, integrated platform for all applications, including feeds to customer experience management (CEM) systems and third party OSS/BSS applications.
• Iris Performance Intelligence – Provides unmatched end-to-end analysis and reporting capabilities coupled with an extremely flexible and powerful KPI/KQI modeling engine that allows operators to better link desired business outcomes to events that occur at the network level.

As first to market an LTE monitoring solution, Tektronix Communications has positioned themselves as the market leader by helping 15 customers worldwide address each phase of the LTE lifecycle – from NEMs to carrier labs to multi-vendor deployment. With end-to-end, scalable customer experience and assurance solutions deemed operationally ready from day one, Tektronix Communications has won 50 percent of the global LTE monitoring business.
