NEXUS TELECOM Maintain QoS in RAT and NGN Convergent Networks Nexus8630 Product line of protocol analyzer software covering a great diversity of applications. The various (portable, rack mount and server based) hardware platforms may be equipped with various network interface cards, including T1/E1/ATM, STM-1 OC3 Optical, 1 GigEth (Optical and Electrical) and 10 GigEth enabling the monitoring and troubleshooting of access networks (ISDN/PRI, SS7), mobile networks (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, HSPA+, CSMA-1/CDMA2000), NGN and LTE networks (Control Plane and User Plane correlation).
Cross Technology Call Trace Correlation For troubleshooting LTE interworking with legacy networks as well as for maintaining quality of service in convergent networks, cross-technology call trace analysis capability is indispensable. The Nexus8630 protocol Analyzer allows instant correlation of message flows over multiple interfaces and different types of technologies.
Nexus8630 offers sophisticated and comprehensive network element monitoring and analyzing capabilities on the respective interfaces with no need for capture scheduling. It continuously monitors and decodes full call trace and protocol details, providing the best cost-effective means to secure highest quality of service for your most important subscribers.
Nexus8630 is a portable solution with alternative rack mounted server systems, benefiting and tailored to:
Integration test labs Professional service teams Engineering, planning, operation and maintenance
Instant Message Flow Correlation, Analysis & Depiction It is possible to schedule and activate test and monitoring scenarios for recurring problems, as well as to deploy Nexus8630 permanently as a multi-user centralized system, continuously providing network-wide comprehensive protocol analysis functions 24x7. When service degradation occurs, investigating specific subscriber activities with Nexus8630 provides real-time as well as historic data for message correlation and flow diagrams, including Iub/Gb/LTE deciphering. Auto-Configuration Wizard The Nexus8630 initial setup wizard detects and configures all installed interface cards and technologies automatically, including signaling channels on Abis and Iub interface cards.
Transparent Mobile Subscriber Behavior Nexus8630 enables any mobile subscriber activity to be traced through any Radio Access Technology (RAT) network. In response to a problem report, Nexus8630 immediately provides message correlation of the network protocol data covering the time the problem occurred.
With just one mouse click, Nexus8630 displays graphical call flow ladder diagrams, providing excellent multi-technology call trace analysis and visualization functionality.
Customer transaction Call Flow Analysis Nexus8630 provides on-line monitoring of call progress through your network and marks the faulty message of a problem in an instant. Where simultaneous testing is required in LTE, UMTS, GPRS, GSM, SS7 and NGN converged networks, Nexus8630 can accommodate all analysis needs including error color- coding!
www.nexustelcom.com Cost-Effective Service Assurance Made Easy Troubleshooting all types of Networks Nexus8630 is a highly versatile protocol analyzer that enables comprehensive analysis of message flows in the network. Simultaneous tracing on different technology interfaces eases troubleshooting of network interworking problems. Traces from different sites can be merged together to look at the overall call in one window. This is mandatory to maintain LTE and NGN interworking with legacy networks.
Save & Replay Audio & Video Payload As well as analyzing the protocol details of subscribers activities, Nexus8630 is also able to store and replay audio and/or video payload. These audio or video data streams can be replayed in order to (subjectively by the user) analyze the quality of the communication.
Ensure proper LTE Roll-out and LTE QoS Nexus8630 supports all protocol decodes used and deciphering within LTE networks to provide correlation over different interfaces (signaling and user plane). The Nexus8630 family enables the user to investigate
Interworking issues with 3G and 2G networks packet loss and latency at SGW and PGW Handover issues and Fallback Scenarios LTE signaling and payload KPIs Payload related issues over several interfaces
LTE Call Trace over S1,S5/S8,S6a and S11
Easy Drill-down from continuous CDRs to Call Problems When continuously monitoring selected links, CDRs are generated automatically giving an immediate overview about the different calls and their main characteristics. When detecting a call with problems, drill-down to all the call details is done with just one mouse click. Key Benefits Troubleshoot LTE protocols on SGW and PGW interfaces.
