Value Based Backhaul Monitoring for Small Cells - How Network Operations can Contribute to the 'Bottom Line'

This paper investigates the benefits to LTE Operators of Value Based Monitoring for Small Cell Backhaul. Such Monitoring and Management solutions leverage End to End, Real Time network monitoring and Selective Visibility to assure high quality Mobile Broadband network service and fast problem resolution for superior Customer Experience Management and Policy Control. At the same time the right solution can transform the role of Network Operations to enable fast Service Activation and Subscriber Service Management that reduces network total cost of operations (TCO) and customer dissatisfaction while helping to create value from new services.
