MANTA CROSS-CONNECT - HIGH E1 / T1 SWITCHING CAPACITY

The MANTA switching device has some very interesting features, such as a scanning mode, a configurable input gain, a dynamic switching mode, an E1 to T1 or T1 to E1 converter, etc., and is completely remote operating.

OCEAN PROBE - CAPTURE PLATFORM DESIGNED FOR MASSIVE DATA CAPTURE

Flexibility, auto-configuration, huge capacity and 24/7 automated capture campaigns are the main characteristics of the OCEAN probe which can combine GSM, GPRS and UMTS signalling collection in the same unit.

Interfaces handled:

• OCEAN GSM / GPRS: Abis, A, Gb, Gr, Gn, Gp, Gi; all SS7 interfaces and other networks (e.g. CDMA or ISDN) using E1 / T1 links
• OCEAN UMTS: all ATM (OC-3, STM-1) links; Ethernet and UMTS interfaces (Iu, Iub, Iur, Gn, Gp, Gr)

CIGALE - POWERFUL MOBILE NETWORK PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS APPLICATIONS FOR GSM, GPRS AND UMTS

The CIGALE product line has been especially designed to provide valuable, ready-to-use, vendor independent access to several levels of information that are intended to be used by several departments within the mobile network operator structure.

Thanks to this key information, Engineering, Operation & Maintenance, Marketing and Corporate Management departments gain a comprehensive view on the network behaviour and can maximize its performance.

Advanced CDR (Call Data Record) browsing, call tracing, IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) tracing, protocol decoding, deciphering, KPI browsing, trending analysis: CIGALE QoS products provide the best means to address issues, optimise network infrastructure behaviour and increase subscribers' satisfaction.

CIGALE GSM application has been designed to help operators detect and troubleshoot problems occurring on their network through automatic ready-to-use customisable reports and charts.

CIGALE GPRS provides a direct view on BSS and core network efficiency for traffic and congestion analysis, data services troubleshooting and radio optimisation. CIGALE GPRS includes Gb deciphering.

CIGALE UMTS is the ideal solution for a fast targeting of WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) network failures. It provides an easy top down analysis from the UTRAN part of the network, which brings the best view on the network behaviour. Radio optimisation, soft hand-over, drive test and automatic Iub deciphering are performed with CIGALE UMTS.

CIGALE ROAMING - NETWORK REVENUE GENERATION

CIGALE Roaming provides for greater revenue generation, with networks tuning for Roamers' profiling, capture and keep, and an outstanding "Loss of Roamers" feature.

CIGALE SLM - NETWORK SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS (SLA)

SLM is the name of Astellia's customer-centric solution for operators to fulfil the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) concluded with their business customers, key contributors of the income.

SERVICES - CONSULTING, AUDITING AND TRAINING

Astellia possesses a team of telecom experts especially devoted to the support of network operators' operational teams. Astellia technical support business unit performs independent service including network optimisation, network design, network deployment, network validation and operational trainings over the GSM, GPRS, EDGE and 3G technologies.
