Through the use of Virtual Drive Test, WINDTRE analyzes the
quality of mobile network services along Italy's road and rail routes, achieving
significant time and cost savings, as well as a significant
reduction in CO2 emissions to the environment.
TEL
AVIV, Israel, Feb. 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- RADCOM Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDCM) - Introduced in
Italy drive test innovation that
brings mobile service quality monitoring to the user to a virtual
level. This ensures greater efficiency and reduced impact on the
environment. WINDTRE, the multiservice operator offering
connections, energy, and insurance products, is also adopting
RADCOM Virtual Drive Test technology in the Cloud and using the
specialized services of NTT DATA Italia to assess and optimize its
radio access network (RAN), ensuring high-quality in the mobility
services offered to customers throughout Italy.
RADCOM Virtual Drive Test (VDT) is offered as
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) on Cloud Platforms). The technology
uses - in full compliance with confidentiality and security
requirements - real network traffic data, reducing the need for
teams moving around the territory to take measurements and making
it possible to identify large-scale priorities for engineering
interventions to improve the service offered to the customer.
Using the Virtual Drive Test service, NTT DATA analyzed data
collected over a 14-day period on 143,471 km of road
and rail network, including more than 600 million data connections
and more than 9 million phone calls for a total of
135,258 hours of voice and data traffic*, compared to the
140 hours* that could have been conducted with a traditional
drive test over the same time frame. With this technology, the
volume of data that can be analyzed to identify opportunities for
customer service improvement increases significantly.
In addition, from an environmental point of view, with the
Virtual Drive Test, the emission of about 15 tons of CO2
into the atmosphere has been avoided***.
"RADCOM's Virtual Drive Test solution and NTT DATA's specialized
services provide vital and detailed information to our work teams,
contributing significantly to the continuous improvement of mobile
network services," said Massimiliano
Testa, Head of Quality and Customer Experience at WINDTRE.
"Given the importance our company places on the quality levels
offered to customers, we greatly appreciate the fruitful
collaboration with RADCOM and NTT DATA, which aims to ensure an
excellent customer experience."
"We are proud to have proposed and implemented RADCOM's Virtual
Drive Test solution in WINDTRE, which recognized before others the
validity of this solution that not only allows for network
optimization, but also significantly reduces CO2 emissions compared
to traditional approaches," said Andrea Fravega, Vice President
Telco & Media at NTT DATA Italy.
"We are excited to work with WINDTRE, Italy's leading mobile operator, and NTT DATA,
a company with recognized expertise in mobile network optimization
and planning. RADCOM's Virtual Drive Test solution provides a
concrete response to the growing focus on mobile network service
quality levels and cost containment needs that telecom operators
face." said Omer Geva, VP Business
Development at RADCOM.
WINDTRE is engaged in an extensive rollout of 5G networks and is
constantly looking for technologies that can analyze and improve
the customer experience throughout Italy. In fact, the morphology of the country,
the complexity of infrastructure and telecommunications networks
represent a challenge for mobile operators in providing quality
services to mobile users.
One answer to this challenge is offered by Virtual Drive Tests
that allow one to obtain:
- Customer Experience indicators,
- Radio and handover technology utilization indicators,
- Network KPIs such as Throughput, voice and data
disconnections, and other quality indicators,
- Recommendations for network optimization.
* Assuming 3 simultaneous calls, lasting 61 seconds with an
interval between calls of 10 seconds
** Assuming 10 hours of drive tests per day, including weekends
*** Assuming for physical test drives the use of Euro 6 gasoline cars with a CO2 emission of
100g/km
