EXFO enhances mobile backhaul monitoring solution

25 January 2012 Test & Measurement

EXFO announced the latest release of the Brix system, its award-winning service assurance solution. This release enhances scalability and monitoring functionality for every service supported by the multiplay solution (voice, video, data and mobile).

The result is broader coverage of today’s rapidly growing multiplay service assurance requirements that help operators reduce capital expenditures by scaling to meet their growth, while at the same time reducing operational expenses by providing more comprehensive monitoring for simpler network troubleshooting.

The Brix system now allows carriers to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) across wireless backhaul and Metro Ethernet networks for thousands of end points. This saves both fixed and mobile operators money by allowing them to support more network connections with less equipment—all via one integrated service assurance platform. Scaling improvements also extend across the Brix system’s voice-over-IP (VoIP) and voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) solutions, which now support over 30 million busy hour call attempts (BHCA) and 100 thousand circuits.

Among the many functional enhancements is VoLTE support, which is an extension of EXFO’s existing LTE solution for mobile providers. This capability integrates VoIP and VoLTE service assurance across multiple networks on one monitoring platform. EXFO has also enabled new customer experience management capabilities that allow all operators to monitor and manage the quality of a customer’s experience while using any service (for example, Web browsing from an LTE device). Network operators also gain improved reporting capabilities with the addition of user-generated custom reports that make it easier for users to quickly develop unique reporting portals to meet their individual needs.
