How SDN And NFV Extend the Adoption and Capabilities of Self-Organizing Networks (SON)
Watch our video!
Mobile data traffic has grown 18-fold over the past five years, while mobile services are becoming more diverse, ranging from mobile broadband, through massive IoT, to mission-critical IoT. In order to deliver these services, MNOs need to continue investing in their LTE networks, implementing radio network optimization to extend their current capacity, while keeping one eye open for future 5G deployments. This is leading to more dense and complex networks that are more difficult and expensive to maintain. The only way MNOs can meet this challenge in a sustainable manner is to increase the automation of network management by employing SON telecom (self-organizing network) solutions.
Comarch Self-Organizing Network (Comarch SON) can easily be integrated within the existing OSS environment and provides plug & play functions, that can be exposed to other OSS applications. Comarch Self-Organizing Network introduces true network automation, thus enabling mobile network operators to implement RAN optimization that will significantly reduce OPEX, shorten time to market for new services, and improve customer experience.

Providing a customer-centric networkCustomers expect to enjoy quality services independent of factors that might impact the network quality. In order to satisfy these expectations, MNOs can leverage SON algorithms to manage the complex dynamic behavior of radio access networks. Self-healing modules can minimize the impact of network failures on services, while self-optimization algorithms can change the configuration automatically, to increase the service quality. | Increasing the return on infrastructure investmentsProvider networks are over-dimensioned because they need to support both the peak and nominal network load. By providing self-optimization algorithms, Comarch SON can automatically change the configuration of the network to optimize the resources for prevailing requirements. This will allow the MNO to better utilize their assets and achieve a corresponding return on investment. |
Lowering the cost of managing the radio access networkMNOs need to invest heavily in the people and operations connected with their radio access network, in order to offer a reliable and performant service to their customers. As the network expands daily, management becomes increasingly expensive. Automating these operational activities will allow MNOs to shift their experts from daily operations to strategic, high yield projects. | Reducing time to market for network projectsDeploying new network resources or services in the mobile domain is a time-consuming and mostly manual process. By leveraging the algorithms provided by SON for self-configuration, many of these activities can be automated. This allows faster deployment and reduces provisioning errors. |
Comarch SON implements advanced algorithms and integrates a wide range of data sources to analyze, detect and implement a desired course of action automatically:
As an OSS provider, Comarch understands how to deploy and integrate SON in an existing OSS environment.
Thanks to rich experience in providing planning tools for the radio access network, Comarch understands what is needed to improve the network operations of MNOs.
Comarch brings extensive expertise to other network domains such as mobile access transport to provide E2E service optimization. Comarch continues to invest in new algorithms and technologies.
