Telecom operators are looking to serve their customers better and better to generate more revenue—and specifically, better average revenue per user (ARPU), with the goal of selling them new services and retaining the most profitable subscribers. Likewise, mobile operators are trying to draw subscribers into the same virtuous circle. The difficulty for mobile networks is that they are dependent on external resources: access networks are heterogeneous, the “last mile” is over the air, making it difficult to control its quality, and over-the-top (OTT) services are provided by third-party sources.
End-to-end testing is concerned with verifying that the mobile network infrastructure is able to deliver the services at the expected quality level (network QoS). It is about ensuring that the radio access meets the expected coverage and radio performance, and that the transported service meets subscribers’ expectations in terms of quality of experience (end-to-end).
Several techniques, which are covered in detail during this webinar, are used to verify, troubleshoot and optimize the end-to-end wireless ecosystem.
In this webinar, you will learn about the following:
- Definitions related to end-to-end quality of service
- Specific business dilemmas such as monetization (analytics), OTT traffic growth, etc.
- End-to-end testing issues in wireless networks (focusing on LTE)
- Testing solutions for service assurance, network optimization and troubleshooting
