InfoVista Integrates Network Performance Management Data and Backhaul Planning with Mentum Ellipse

InfoVista, the global player for IP and RF network planning, service assurance and network optimization software solutions, has announced the availability of a new version of its mobile backhaul network planning and optimization software, Mentum Ellipse 8.5.

This new software release integrates with InfoVista’s end-to-end network performance management solution, VistaInsight for Networks. The combined solution feeds mobile operators’ network planning and design efforts with current radio access network (RAN) traffic volumes and backhaul network performance data.

Mentum Ellipse 8.5 helps mobile operators understand the variations and evolution of live RAN traffic, so they can proactively prevent backhaul capacity bottlenecks with better network planning and timely network investments.

Mobile operators can also monitor and address backhaul network performance by comparing actual microwave link configurations and performance KPIs against the planned network configuration and quality of service (QoS). Finally, the integrated solution enables a comprehensive view of mobile network topology to simplify engineering for future network changes.

“With increasingly complex networks, mobile operators need to proactively manage performance across the entire network, from one end to the other,” said Bernard Breton, senior vice president, Americas & APAC sales and chief marketing officer, InfoVista. “This update to Mentum Ellipse helps mobile operators plan the capacity and performance of their mobile backhaul networks by using live network data. As a result, mobile operators can prevent mobile backhaul performance issues from affecting customers, and deliver a high QoS to them today, and in the future.”
