Ericsson is launching a new self-organising networks (SON) Optimization Manager that automates the process of optimsing the capacity, coverage and quality of mobile networks.
SON Optimization Manager is part of Ericsson’s Smart Simplicity concept, which focuses on increasing automation in complex networks in order to reduce operating expenses and deliver a better Mobile Broadband experience.
The new release results in less dropped calls, better internet browsing experience, while operators are benefitted from reduced operating expenses, as well as increased traffic and revenue from their existing networks.
SON Optimization Manager also helps in extending SON functionality to existing networks, said the company.
Ericsson senior vice-president, chief technology officer and Group Function Technology & Portfolio Management head Ulf Ewaldsson said SON Optimization Manager is based on the idea of increasing automation to overcome increasing complexity.
"We call this Smart Simplicity, because it simplifies operators’ processes and makes them more efficient," said Ewaldsson.
