SINGAPORE, June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- Network element design and test, network and service assurance, optimization and CEM solutions to be featured at CommunicAsia

Tektronix Communications, a leading worldwide provider of communications test and Network Intelligence solutions, today announced its presence at CommunicAsia in Singapore, June 21-24 at BN4-01. This year, industry leading solutions from Tektronix Communications which include OptiMon, IrisView, Geoprobe and Arantech's Customer Experience Management (CEM) systems will be featured as enabling technologies to speed the service provider transition from 2.5/3G to 4G/LTE.

As operators move to all IP environments, networks are becoming more complex, and time-to-market more critical for service providers to launch new services. Network operators require a trusted partner who can offer the breadth and depth of solutions across fixed, mobile, legacy and converged technologies to simplify their business and operational support systems, and to have a more complete view of how subscribers are using IP data services.

Network Element Design and Test - Next generation network elements require fast and efficient testing solutions to improve overall product quality and time-to-market. Tektronix Communications supports network equipment manufacturers and operators in the design and test of network elements with many solutions including Spectra2, which provides protocol and media test solutions across multiple technologies in an easy-to-use single, scalable platform.

Network and Service Assurance - Tektronix Communications delivers service providers a comprehensive network monitoring product line that features integrated, end-to-end monitoring solutions. At the core of network management is the Iris suite of solutions, which provides multiple organizations within a service provider real-time and historical information for all service troubleshooting and performance monitoring needs to improve operational and commercial readiness. The Iris family of products, deployed by more than a dozen top-tier carriers around the globe, includes the GeoProbe G10, the Iris Analyzer toolset (Iris Protocol Analyzer, Iris Session Analyzer and Iris Traffic Analyzer), IrisView and Iris Performance Intelligence.

Network Optimization - With the uptake in high-speed data services on 2.5/3G, and 4G/LTE networks, optimization teams are quickly finding that what worked in the past is now time-consuming, limiting and expensive. Tektronix Communications' protocol- based OptiMon solution can increase efficiency and productivity while simultaneously lowering costs. Tektronix Communications enables service providers to identify the root cause of quality of service issues in real-time through the OptiMon advanced suite of applications that is specifically designed to improve 3G radio network performance and optimize troubleshooting operations to achieve increased efficiency and productivity.

Customer Experience Management - CEM provides operators the ability to proactively monitor and manage the lifecycle experience of every customer in real time as they come into contact with the business and operational platforms of a communications provider. At that point, service providers can analyze the millions of data transactions and translate that into valuable information, which can then be acted upon by the operator to improve business performance across the network. Arantech's CEM solutions have been deployed by mobile operators from four of the six largest mobile operator groups in the world, serving in excess of 300 million mobile subscribers.
