Self-organizing Network

What is Comarch Self-organizing Network Solution?

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 solution (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’s SON telecom solution 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.

Self-organizing Network & Radio Network (RAN) Optimization - Comarch Solution Features:

Advanced CSON solution

Comarch SON implements advanced algorithms and integrates a wide range of data sources to analyze, detect and implement a desired course of action automatically:

• Self-configuration: automatically configure RAN resources deployed in the network
• Self-optimization: optimize RAN configuration based on data received from various data sources (performance, faults and probes)
• Self-healing: re-configure the RAN to minimize the impact of network incidents.

Integrated with the OSS Ecosystem

As an OSS provider, Comarch understands how to deploy and integrate a SON solution in an existing
OSS environment.

• Through the SON API interface, the SON solution can easily be integrated with an existing OSS environment, ensuring data consistency across various network applications
• By providing plug & play functions that can be exposed to other OSS applications and tools, the SON can support provisioning, assurance and optimization processes.

Hands-on Support for Solution Deployment

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 will provide the expertise to guide the MNO in deploying the solution and making sure that the benefits are obtained
• Comarch understands that self-organizing networks can be daunting, so supports soft roll-outs ahead of fully automatic implementation. So, there is no need for “big bang” deployments.

Future-proof

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.
