Empirix xCentrix LTE Analysis Package

Predict. Master mobile complexities in LTE deployments to control quality, experience, profitibilty and growth.

Thriving Under Evolving Conditions

Mobile communications seems to be changing daily. Customers are clamoring for the newest devices and downloading apps at a phenom-enal rate. Operators are expanding as quickly as possible to support the demand and evolving technical requirements. To be successful, they need to continuously deliver a great and minimize cost per bit delivered.

LTE as an Advantage

Where possible, operators are de-ploying LTE on a large scale in the hopes of gaining an advantage over competitors. However, understanding the impact of this new technology on customer experience, roaming and service performance can be difficult. They also need to know service utili-zation rates and how well customers are supported as they move beyond LTE access areas.

Without this type of visibility, opera-tors cannot determine the success - or ROI - of their LTE projects.
