No matter how well the core network is performing, issues in the RAN often lead to significant quality of experience (QOE) or Quality of Service (QoS) problems. Empowered with a deep understanding of the RAN, Carrier Service Providers (CSPs) can build and tune better performing access networks, proactively resolve emerging problems and reduce the risk of widespread, debilitating subscriber churn.

Increasing quality expectations around existing 4G services (mobility, data, VoLTE and video) and the evolution to 5G and cloud architectures only magnify the complexity of RAN innerworkings that contribute to issues including latency, reliability, and signaling overhead.

To meet these new challenges, LTE & 5G RAN planning and operations teams rely on NETSCOUT solutions to protect and accelerate time to market, identify and resolve network degradation and efficiently triage fault isolation across cross functional teams.
