Kentrox Offers First 360 Degree Solution for Automated Cell Site Maintenance and Control
Wireless carriers use Optima(R) to reduce cell site management costs and improve customer retention
HILLSBORO, Ore., Dec. 6 -- Kentrox(R), the global leader in network site maintenance and control solutions, announces the availability of Optima(R) for network service providers. Optima is a flexible, turnkey carrier-grade technology platform that automates critical network site management tasks. It gives technicians and executives the power to remotely collect, monitor and report on operating data from all critical cell-site network elements at any time. Optima's unique 360 degree, real-time dashboard views of network elements and site conditions allow carriers to proactively diagnose and repair potential network problems before they have an impact on users and operating costs.
Since network maintenance represents the largest portion of a wireless provider's operating costs, Optima has been designed to reduce those costs and improve network availability and quality. Today, when a trouble ticket is issued, technicians have little to no data to diagnose the problem, and a truck must be dispatched to the cell site to determine the source of the outage. Once a diagnosis occurs, another expensive, time-consuming truck roll is typically dispatched for repairs. Ben Stump, Vice President of Network Solutions for Kentrox says, "With Optima, wireless providers can greatly reduce the number of diagnostic and 'no problem found' truck rolls as well as the cost-per-trouble-ticket." Optima customers can initiate diagnostics, management functions or control commands from a remote location, to dramatically reduce the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR). If an onsite visit is required, technicians are dispatched with the necessary Optima diagnostics to repair the problem quickly -- the first time.
Optima is the first tool available that gives service providers total control over cell-site network elements from one interface. Its modular architecture allows carriers to add capabilities incrementally to complement or integrate with their legacy systems. Real-time monitoring, site equipment controls, and proactive alerts are just a few of the features that enable technicians to rapidly resolve cell-site problems before they have an impact on users and costs.
