Data traffic on mobile networks is growing exponentially through the introduction of powerful smartphones and data-heavy multimedia services. Industry analysts across the board are in agreement that this trend will continue. Since network resources in mobile networks are limited through spectrum allocation and budget for capital expenditure, this data growth is increasingly causing resource shortages in the Radio Access Network (RAN). These in turn cause congestion which dramatically reduces subscriber quality of experience.
In order to deal with congestion, you need to know where it's happening and then control or manage the traffic causing it. VPIsystems' RAN Congestion Analytics provides the means to accurately predict short-term congestion patterns. By coupling this to a subscriber aware policy management solution, you can avoid congestion before it happens.
