“At Argela, we are continually innovating and developing new products to help operators and service providers optimize their networks”

FENG detects these femtocell-related events by sniffing the operator’s network with the following standard interfaces: Iu-h, Iu-CS, A-Interface, and MAP. Some of the femtocell events which are detected include entries to and exits from the femtocell network in addition to femtocell registrations and deregistrations. After immediately detecting important femtocell events, Argela’s FENG then notifies Argela’s APPs-on Femto Application Server which in turn, immediately notifies the applications. Argela’s two products, the FENG Femto Notification Generator and Argela’s APPs-on Femto Application Server, work together as part of a complete femtocell application solution.

“We wanted to develop a solution that is independent from the femtocell and the femtocell gateway so that any mobile operator could offer value-added services and applications even after they have already deployed their femtocell service,” explained Argela’s VP of Sales, Mr. Oguz Oktay. “It is the notifications issued by our FENG product which enables operators to offer the location-based services and applications through their femtocell network. And, it is the applications which transform femtocells from a telecom device to a channel for revenue-generating services.”

Argela provides next-generation telecommunication solutions and network infrastructure software to telecom operators and offers a range of small cell products and solutions including femtocells powered by their SmartFemto technology. The Femto Notification Generator is the newest addition to the Small Cell product line and is a key product in Argela’s Femto Application Suite. As part of this Suite, Argela also offers femtocell applications including: PromoZone, Track-U and the award-winning, ADz-on Advertising Application.

“At Argela, we are continually innovating and developing new products to help operators and service providers optimize their networks,” said Mr. Bulent Kaytaz, Argela’s CEO. “The Femto Notification Generator is our most recent innovation enabling mobile operators to offer value-added femtocell applications. It was our aim to provide a complete femtocell application solution for mobile operators so that they may increase the ROI of their femtocell deployment through offering value-added services to their subscribers.”

TETRA World Congress (TWC), Dubai May 15, 2012 -

Evercor integrates Alcatel-Lucent’s 4G LTE mobile broadband with TETRA-based systems to form the first end-to-end integrated LTE 400 professional mobile radio (PMR) solution for the 380-470 MHz band – the frequency band currently used by public safety agencies and other essential services in many parts of the world. As a result it will support new broadband communications capabilities such as real-time video to complement existing radio systems. It also allows transport and energy companies using TETRA communications to benefit from mobile broadband applications.

Alcatel-Lucent and Cassidian are showing how Evercor enhances information-sharing between control centers and field operations at TETRA World Congress 2012 in Dubai. By delivering high-speed 4G LTE mobile broadband services such as enhanced location information and transmission of medical records to ‘smart’ emergency response vehicles, handheld tablet devices and control center systems, teams will be equipped with the vital information they need to rapidly prepare for and respond to any incident. This can improve safety and security for both the public and workers and allow teams to more quickly identify locations and respond to incidents.

The use of real-time video and data services will improve operations for those working in the transport and energy industries. Early warnings of outages and incidents will in turn result in faster response and reduced maintenance time and costs. For all companies using TETRA communications, the solution will enable cost-efficiencies, allowing them to re-use their existing sites and equipment.

Jean Marc Nasr, Head of Secure Communication Solutions at Cassidian said: “The launch of this innovative solution comes only a year since we announced the joint work program between Alcatel-Lucent and Cassidian and shows the real progress we’ve made to enhance operations for companies using the 400 MHz band. We are able to integrate these services within the Cassidian command-and-control collaborative suite of applications for our Public Safety and Defence users.”

Philippe Keryer, President of Alcatel-Lucent’s Networks Group said: “Alcatel-Lucent’s 4G LTE architecture is being embraced by the public safety sector. Evercor delivers the highest speeds and greatest capacity for mobile broadband communications networks today and supports essential operations in the most cost-effective manner. Alcatel-Lucent has deep-rooted expertise in providing groundbreaking mobile broadband communications solutions to enhance operations and safety across many industries and we are pleased to work with Cassidian to achieve this.”

The Evercor solution uses Alcatel-Lucent’s eNodeB base stations, wireless packet core and backhaul solutions, and Cassidian LTE 400 Remote Radio Head, terminals and applications. The LTE 400 eNodeB can be fitted into Cassidian’s new TB3S TETRA Base station. Working in the 400 MHz bands delivers advantages over communications in a higher frequency band. Fewer base stations are required to provide coverage to a comparable geographic area and communication is made more reliable inside buildings and within built up urban areas.

“Shifting the Mobile Operator Battleground toward RAN Capacity Optimization”

According to Cisco, mobile data traffic more than doubled in 2011. This dramatic demand for bandwidth has triggered a multitude of challenges for mobile operators. They are faced with not only controlling the costly RAN domain and reducing its impact on OPEX, but also managing a growing arsenal of 2G and 3G networks, which are being stretched to provide additional capacity. At the same time, they need to deliver network upgrade projects, such as transitioning to IP backhaul, and plan and roll out 4G/LTE networks, while assuring and improving quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE)—all with their existing resources.

InfoVista’s solution alleviates these pressures on mobile operators. VistaSON helps them safely transition from manual and suggestive network optimization with required human decision-making to a full, closed-loop, dynamic and automated practice based on pre-defined network conditions and approvals.

Key Facts

• VistaSON is able to not only reduce the amount of human involvement required to manage RAN environments, but also measure the performance impact of network automations via an advanced visualization engine. It leverages Vista360®, InfoVista’s award-winning analytics and 2.0 reporting dashboard, to provide holistic views on the impact and savings introduced by the solution.
• To deploy a SON solution that guarantees a quick return on investment (ROI), mobile operators need to be able to easily identify the areas of optimization that provide the maximum benefits. VistaSON includes unique network analytics and reporting engines, which allow mobile operators to proactively identify 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE “SON hotspots”. VistaSON analyzes key performance indicators (KPIs) to identify coverage holes, performance degradations, network overload and mobility patterns in handover and utilization.
• Closely aligned with the SON requirements defined by the NGMN and adopted by 3GPP, the solution includes a set of out-of-the-box 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE use cases that are designed to rapidly enable the automation needed for the optimization and maintenance of the network lifecycle. These include Automatic Outage Detection & Compensation, where antennas’ settings are adjusted to provide coverage when cell outages occur; Coverage & Capacity Optimization, which monitors performance metrics and identifies weak coverage and capacity spots that can be optimized to improve QoE; Dynamic Load Balancing, which helps detect network load imbalances and congestion patterns to facilitate load distribution; and Green Networks Power Savings, where under-utilized network cells are placed into a ‘sleep mode’ during periods of very low traffic.
