A Ixia Case Study
The customer is a large telecommunications provider. Their challenge was to maintain a high quality of service and accurately bill for new 3G/4G services, requiring reliable and cost-effective access to wireless network traffic without impacting the core network. They engaged vendor Ixia and its Net Optics Director data monitoring switch to address this.
The solution from Ixia involved deploying the Director to create a monitoring access layer, tapping traffic between network nodes. This provided 100% visibility for monitoring and billing systems, isolated them from live traffic, and reduced network complexity. The results included increased reliability, a simplified core network, and a more cost-effective solution due to the product's high port density and lower price per tap. Ixia's Director was proven reliable in testing and will be included in the company's full 3G/4G rollout.
