SEQ Analyst Carrier's central site

NetProbe3010 Carrier's remote site

NOTE:
 It is recommended to deploy the NetProbe3010 and the NEs from
which it collects data in the same equipment room.
 If the NEs from which a NetProbe3010 probe server collects data is
located at the central site, it is recommended to deploy
the NetProbe3010 web server and this probe server at the central site,
facilitating device maintenance and management.

the SEQ Analyst and the NetProbe3010 probe servers.
 If multiple NetProbe3010 systems are deployed at different remote
sites, O&M communication channels must be established between the
web server and the probe servers in each NetProbe3010 system.

Parent topic: Introduction to the Solution

we need to answer on the following questions:

Thank you to confirm the version of NetProbe3010, what is the number of this version V200R001C02
or V200R001C01?.

knowing that for V200R001C01, the data collection interfaces are Gn, Iu-PS, Gi, Gb, S1-U, and S11
and for monitoring other interface as S8/S1–MME/S6a interface traffic (Gbps) it is necessary the
added to the License Items for SEQ Analyst solution V200R001C02, and for the Capacity and
Performance for Number of CS subscribers the V200R001C01 is ≤ 20 million and the V200R001C02
is ≤ 50 million.

And thank you to confirm that this version can monitor other interface as UI CS interface, GI, Gr ... like
finding on this image below:

is that there is the possibility of monitoring the CS part (signaling plane and user plane)?

and what are the products delivered or component for this possibility?

thank you for giving us all the KPIs for the SMART PCC solution.

Capacity and Performance

Overview

As carriers' data communication networks expand rapidly, the Gn-interface traffic on these networks
has been increasing from 10 Gbit/s to 100 Gbit/s or even higher in recent years. To accommodate
such rapid growth, all subsystems of SEQ Analyst V200R002C02 must provide enhanced data
analysis and processing capabilities.
