PTA. 3G /4G QoS MONITORING TRAINING

ISLAMABAD ( BMZ REPORT )

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has organized a two days training in collaboration with NEMO Anite (Finland based Company) at PTA HQs from 26th to 27th June 2014. The aim of this training was to impart knowledge and skills to PTA officials so that they can effectively monitor the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters in 3G/4G environment.

Earlier in 2006, PTA procured NEMO outdoor equipment to measure the QoS of GSM mobile networks. Now, Anite has provided an upgrade of its NEMO QoS Monitoring Platform to PTA for 3G/4G. The NEMO Invex (Tool Model) enables outdoor drive test measurements and benchmarking to ensure QoS of the Cellular networks. Anite has an established position in mobile benchmarking, drive test measurement, and optimization solutions for perfecting the air interface of wireless networks.

Saybi, the local partner of Anite, has also supported the training, with the aim to impart the 3G/4G QoS knowledge and hands on experience on NEMO Invex 7.0. On this occasion, Chairman PTA, Dr. Ismail Shah, thanked Saybi Anite for provisioning of an upgrade model to PTA. He further stated that this solution will enable PTA to monitor licensed QoS Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of 3G / 4G networks in the country to ensure that quality standards are met and users get the services at anticipated quality standards. With this upgrade and training, PTA officials have been up skilled on 3G/4G and LTE technologies.
