Europe
: NetHawk, a pioneer in 3G testing since their release of the world’s
first 3G protocol analyser in 2001, is now launching a new release
of their intelligent data acquisition product for 3G Networks, the
NetHawk 3G Probe.
Real-time
3G network data is a vast source of information for the operator.
With the correct tools for filtering and refining this vast amount
of data, the operator can get an accurate view of what is going on
in the network, as well as the reasons behind the various events.
The NetHawk 3G Probe’s data gathering is based on established
industry standards, and thus it provides a vendor-independent source
of information.
The
NetHawk 3G Probe with its leading technological approach is a long-term
solution for effective data capturing from remote sites. The tool
reduces the need to travel to remote sites, as it can be operated
easily and effectively from your office through the IP network. The
data captured with the NetHawk Probe can be examined in your office
using NetHawk Analysers, other NetHawk applications or a variety of
third party post-processing applications.
NetHawk
3G Probes can be used as stand-alone monitoring tools or as building
blocks for large, distributed systems which can monitor a part of
the network or even complete networks. Typical application areas for
the NetHawk 3G Probe are 3G rollouts, troubleshooting, network optimisation,
network performance and QoS monitoring, as well as implementation
of value-added services.
The
NetHawk 3G Probe can capture both user plane and control plane data
in 3G networks in real time. With the tool’s efficient pre-filtering
capabilities, it is possible to limit the amount of gathered data
to contain only essential information. With flexible scheduling of
recording, the periods of data gathering can be set up accurately
to suit
the user’s needs.
All
these features combined with cost-efficiency and field-proven technology
make the NetHawk 3G Probe an easy-to-use, effective tool that helps
network operators provide their subscribers with high quality, functional
3G services.
