Optimus selects Xperience to Monitor and Diagnose their Mobile Broadband Internet from End User Perspective

Xperience enables Optimus to monitor Broadband Customer Experience using commercial Smartphones as test scouts. Detected problems are then analysed by technicians using Xperience and commercial mobile dongles to run deep mobile diagnosis for troubleshooting. When customers complain, Xperience helps to diagnose the problem cause.

Lisbon – July 26th, 2013 – STREAMBOW, a leading provider of customer centric quality of experience and service solutions for mobile, home and access networks, today announced that Optimus has selected its Xperience solution to diagnose and monitor the customer experience of end user’s mobile internet services.

“We are using Xperience enabled Smartphones as moving test probes across the country. An active role is given to Optimus’ employees on monitoring the performance of internet experience, without any effort. The Xperience Apps generate data to really draw the picture of Customer Experience for our mobile broadband service. Furthermore, we can now reach network areas that we could not address so far. Optimus is mainly looking at performance / Quality of Experience (QoE) KPIs. This set of data can be used to define standards and trends in what regards to network performance, such as network mode, cell coverage, neighbors, customer device, localization and time, etc. It even allows us to configure the Smartphones to drive test mode. If we eventually need deeper technical data, we can use the dongle based Xperience deep radio analysis that any technician can run on his PC or laptop. At Customer Support, Xperience improves the efficiency. When customers complain about performance issues, Xperience allows the attendant to rapidly verify issues and to dispatch them to the correct problem owner”, commented Jorge Teles Fernandes, Director at Optimus.
