Sniffer® Mobile Intelligence
Performance analysis of subscriber sessions on Mobile-IP Networks
Focused on successfully acquiring and retaining consumer and business customers, mobile service providers need to optimize performance, and when problems do occur, to quickly identify them and reduce the time required to resolve service impacting issues. Mobile service providers require a solution for IP-based service assurance to analyze service quality and improve performance. Ultimately they require a solution that minimizes operational expenditures while improving subscriber experience.
Sniffer® Mobile Intelligence enables mobile wireless carriers to test, deploy, and operate 2.5G, 3G and emerging 4G mobile wireless data networks by providing a means of examining subscriber sessions and performing protocol analysis. Utilized on the wired/core side of Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)2000, WiMAX, and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) networks, Sniffer Mobile Intelligence helps mobile operators resolve issues related to subscriber registration, network latency, dropped packets, and application response times, as well as Mobile IP and GPRS Tunneling Protocols (GTP). The module is used in conjunction with nGenius® InfiniStream™ in order to take advantage of its extremely reliable high performance stream-to-disk architecture and massive storage capacity – providing visibility into wide time windows of retained packets.

|
- Advanced Mobile Filtering: Efficiently mine wide timeframes of traffic to discover mobile sessions for specific subscribers. Filtering on mobile core network controls protocols, International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI), Network Access Identifier (NAI), Mobile Station ISDN (MSISDN), and Access Point Name (APN).
- Subscriber Summary: Enabled in combination with nGenius InfiniStream, Sniffer Mobile Intelligence provides a list of subscriber session data sessions that match the subscriber and time-based filters selected in the mining console.
- Expert Analysis: Expert symptoms and diagnoses make it possible to discover network inefficiencies before they lead to more substantial deterioration in network performance. Sniffer Mobile Intelligence integrates with nGenius InfiniStream to provide Expert analysis for GTP, Mobile IP and RADIUS.
- Call Trace Visualization: Subscriber data sessions can be presented in a ladder diagram as a graphical depiction of specific communications. For each subscriber session total elapsed time is presented along with individual delays associated with individual messages/commands.
