ADC Launches New Metrica Analysis

ADC Telecommunications will launch, at GSM World Congress in Cannes, a new set of Metrica applications that will directly address the question of how to realize the value of information held in event data sources such as CDRs.

The applications analyze specific occurrences, aggregating events over time, and associating them with related subscribers, services, equipment, designations, carrier interconnects, etc. They do this by drilling directly into call detail records (CDRs) and other valuable repositories of call information such as fault logging, SS7 databases, alarms, and performance management information.

The applications on view at Cannes are:

1. Handset Analysis - the first effective solution to the problem of measuring handset failure statistics. About 2% of handsets typically cause over 75% of handset-related call problems.
2. Traffic Dispersion - helping operators to understand, in near-real-time, the behavior of traffic between different sources and destinations times.

"We are aiming to meet customer needs by offering analysis tools that are carefully targeted to solve specific business problems. Customers are identifying new uses for CDR data all the time. Service Analysis, for example, is a hot topic, so we see this as a rapidly expanding area, " said, Chris Meenan, Metrica/BIN Product Manager for ADC's Software Systems Division. "We need to help operators towards a better understanding of customer experiences and the real costs of doing business, in a customizable, configurable and scalable way. These applications meet that need."
