A typical large operator might generate 150,000 data records or more every second of the day.

Telecommunications data."

exactly their quality of service and pinpoint the
causes of any problems."

priority for service providers worldwide. Network

senior customer experience, operators must look at their

Heavy Reading customer."

is combined with other customer data and analyzed to extrapolate
customer usage, experience and behavioral information.
