Metrica for 3G UMTS Network in Austria

1st July , 2004

US : ADC announced that Austrian communications company, ONE, has selected Metrica® to monitor their network performance and quality of services delivered over its multi-vendor Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) network.

Metrica will provide ONE with a consolidated view of key performance indicators, giving the service provider comprehensive visibility of network quality and utilization. With this information, ONE will be able to run its networks at maximum efficiency, maintaining its highly competitive service quality while dynamically deploying capacity to match growth in demand. It will also provide the tools needed to help detect both long-term and immediate problems and distinguish between service-affecting and non-service-affecting network-quality issues.

"ONE was established several years ago as Austria's only GSM 1800 mobile operator, and, during that time, it has created a reputation for providing innovative services to over 1.5 million mobile subscribers," said David Heaps, senior vice president and general manager of the Metrica group of the Software Systems Business Unit for ADC. "We now look forward to working with ONE to achieve similar success in their UMTS business, using our Metrica solution to set new levels of quality."

In addition to performance management solutions, ADC also offers Metrica Service Manager, a Service Quality Management (SQM) solution that manages end-to-end service quality in real-time and provides historical analysis against customer-focused quality objectives for both existing and emergent services.
