Ericsson has launched SON Optimization Manager. This self-organizing networks (SON) product automates the process of optimizing the capacity, coverage and quality of mobile networks. The end result is that users experience fewer dropped calls and get a better internet browsing experience, while operators benefit from happier customers, reduced operating expenses, as well as increased traffic and revenue from their existing networks.
Ulf Ewaldsson, Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer, Head of Group Function Technology &Portfolio Management, Ericsson, said, "SON Optimization Manager is based on a simple idea - increasing automation to overcome increasing complexity. We call this Smart Simplicity, because it simplifies operators' processes and makes them more efficient."
This solution helps extend SON functionality to existing networks, regardless of how many vendors or standards are involved. Optimizing the use of existing network assets is a key component of any heterogeneous (hetnet) network strategy.
