Wataniya Maldives Deploys CommProve Real-Time Network Roaming Solution

DUBLIN, March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

- CommProve Roamer Insight Shows Revenue at Risk by Root Cause

With more and more subscribers on the move, Wataniya Telecom Maldives looked to CommProve, a leading provider of network monitoring and business solutions for mobile networks, to ensure a seamless roaming experience. CommProve's Roamer Insight software is now deployed across Wataniya's network to enable quality of service monitoring and proactive network troubleshooting.

Using CommProve's Roamer Insight, Wataniya is able to trouble shoot specific areas across both the radio access and the core layer of their network, focusing on the issues with the greatest revenue improvement potential.

"Wataniya Maldives is committed to enabling a consistent and great quality of customer experience to our 200,000+ subscribers as well as those that are visiting the Maldives," said Mounir Hasrouni, CTO of Wataniya Telecom Maldives. "The CommProve Insight software is enabling us to understand the impact of quality issues such as network congestion, and we're also able to reduce churn and increase network revenues. We're excited about the opportunities Roamer Insight brings to our network."

CommProve Roamer Insight presents key performance indicator reports generated from the underlying radio access network interface protocols for subscribers who roam in or out of the monitored network. This allows operators to analyse where coverage, capacity, drops and call set ups, for example, directly impact roamers. The CommProve solution is capable of monitoring all SS7 protocols on a 24x7x365 basis.

"From the existing deployments and tests that we have done we've found that operators have over 25% roaming revenue at risk and so, using Roamer Insight, operators are able to greatly improve network revenues," said Lars Pedersen, CommProve CEO "We look forward to working with Wataniya to further improve the customer experience."

From a core network perspective, CommProve Roamer Insight can quickly analyse where problems are located e.g. within Wataniya's own network, or with partner networks/interconnect routes.
