Ascom Unveils TEMS® Discovery Enterprise.

Enterprise-Scale, Post-Processing Platform Provides Sophisticated Analysis of Multiple Network Test Probes and Technologies for Network Rollout, Optimization and Benchmarking Applications.

BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, 27 February 2012 — Ascom Network Testing today announced TEMS® Discovery Enterprise, an enterprise version of its globally deployed TEMS Discovery solution that enables operators to centrally analyze and manage massive amounts of test data for report generation via a single, unified client-server architecture.

TEMS Discovery Enterprise meets growing demand from large mobile operators, who increasingly require centralized, automated, highly scalable solutions for enterprise-grade post-processing and analysis for huge volumes of drive-, in-building-, nomadic- and autonomous-test data. TEMS Discovery Enterprise provides a single, uniform platform for these data sources, providing a highly scalable client-server solution that provides multi-faceted performance information throughout the network lifecycle: from rollout, to optimization, benchmarking, in-building testing and subscriber quality of experience (QOE).

TEMS Discovery Enterprise supports a wide range of data sources (drive test, IP trace, call trace and network cell configuration); network technologies (LTE/TD-LTE, WCDMA, HSPA/HSPA+, GSM, CDMA, EVDO, WiMAX), and TEMS® and third-party vendor probes (TEMS® Investigation, TEMS® Pocket, TEMS® Automatic, TEMS® Symphony, TEMS® Monitor Master, JDSU, Nemo, Qualcomm QXDM, ZK Celltest, LLDM and PCTEL scanners).

By providing a uniform platform, TEMS Discovery Enterprise enables operators and services providers to achieve substantial operational efficiencies by facilitating knowledge transfer, and shared best practices, across the organization. TEMS Discovery Enterprise streamlines troubleshooting and root-cause analysis by automatically processing and analyzing collected data. Multi-dimension statistics can be presented in virtually unlimited ways including using user-selectable metrics and user-selectable dimensions.

The solution includes backend data processing, web-based clients and connection workstation components. The backend system for TEMS Discovery Enterprise includes automated data processing, data storage, analysis and system-wide reporting. Web-based access is provided via a TEMS Discovery web client that enables high-level analysis and on-demand reporting remotely from PCs, mobile tablets and devices. TEMS Discovery Professional is used as the system’s troubleshooting, configuration and development tool.

“TEMS Discovery Enterprise is part of a significant initiative to unify the various attributes of our products into a single, streamlined portfolio to give customers as broad a view as possible of the performance of their networks across a wide range of scenarios and technologies,” said Erik Tarnvik, Vice President Marketing and Deputy General Manager, Ascom Network Testing Division. “By consolidating the best of our post-processing capabilities into a single platform, we are enabling our customers to meet rising demand for data services and to do so at the optimal quality level that subscribers demand.”

TEMS Discovery Enterprise benefits from Ascom Network Testing’s recent acquisition of Veelong Corporation, which added significant IP and development capabilities to the company’s market-leading post-processing capabilities. TEMS Discovery Enterprise also provides a seamless, post-processing alternative for current users of TEMS Automatic® – the company’s autonomous network testing system that delivers end-to-end QoS information using unattended test probes – and TEMS Symphony®, a unified benchmarking platform for drive testing, indoor testing, and nomadic testing. For these customers, Ascom Network Testing will provide a migration path to the TEMS Discovery web client.

Ascom Network Testing offers a range of TEMS Discovery post-processing solutions – used in more than 80 countries worldwide – based on the widely varying needs of small-to-large operators and service providers. In addition to TEMS Discovery Enterprise, the company also offers TEMS® Discovery Replay, a tool for “replay analyzing” TEMS Pocket logfiles; TEMS® Discovery Standard, a post-processing tool for TEMS Investigation multi-logfile analysis; and TEMS Discovery Professional, which can be used to combine logfiles from the major drive-test tool vendors as well as a in depth troubleshooting, customization, report creation, configuration and development tool for TEMS Discovery Enterprise.
