rorotika son (self-organising networks) suite
TRANSCRIPT
Rorotika’s Self-Organizing Network
solution, with all the intelligence needed
to automate a radio network environment,
reduce faults and increase revenues.
Operators need to analyse data from several di�erent network interfaces, systems and
departments in order to optimise their network infrastructure and expenditure, while
growing ARPU, pro�tability and market share. Such systems include Performance
Management, Con�guration Management, Fault Management, Customer Experience
Management and the Charging System.
Operators face the following challenges:
Isolation of network subsystems thwarts data analysis
Fault reporting is dispersed across systems, resulting in low visibility and accountability
Root cause analysis requires manual data correlation e�orts across multiple systems
Isolated systems have ine�ective methods of prioritising faults and alarms
Lack of revenue data correlation hides valuable information about the cost of faults
and hinders e�ective prioritisation.
Lack of CEM data correlation hides valuable information about the problems being
experienced on the ground, and their exact locations.
Rorotika’s SON is a centralised analytics and data correlation engine with the following key
components.
Rorotika’s SONSelf-Organising Network Solution
In a complex multi-vendor and multi-technology environment, NetCM provides a brand
new, automated, repeatable and independent review of the status of network parameters.
This web-based product is unique in its ability to manage core parameters, analyse
B-numbers, identify routing problems, and determine BSS parameter faults. NetCM
automatically processes the parameter information, highlights inconsistencies and
pinpoints key areas where settings do not conform to OEM best practice or to
operator-speci�c policies. MML scripts are generated to �x inconsistencies, as well as
manage planned activities. NetCM works toward consolidating all vendor technologies on
one platform.

SON Components
NetRevenue is a bulk revenue data acquisition, summarisation and
reporting solution.
NetRevenue is built on technology which has been vigorously
load-tested and commercially proven in tier-1 networks in populous
environments such as Nigeria and Bangladesh.
NetRevenue provides an extremely robust interface to the IN CDR
platform, extracting valuable information about site value and revenue
trends at site level. This information allows for fault costing and
cost-priority fault management.
The NetTrax CEM tool from RanWorx fully integrates with the Rorotika
SON solution to provide a comprehensive view of handset-based
events, recurring network faults and problematic routes with
pinpoint accuracy. NetTrax provides a feature-rich web-based
interface with powerful reporting, drill-down capabilities and
subscriber event-tracking capabilities. NetTrax also supports Network
Initiated Logging (NIL) which allows an operator to analyse custom
test routes and interval reports for target handsets in a speci!ed area.
Handset software resides on standard commercially available smart
phones, running Windows Mobile OS, Android, Blackberry and
Symbian.
NetPM is Rorotika’s multi-vendor, multi-technology performance management solution. Built on proven mission-critical ETL technology, NetPM
provides a powerful, web-based interface to your network performance. Built on a PostgreSQL database and OLAP processing engine, NetPM aims to
keep unnecessary costs down while providing an attractive web-based interface for e"ective reporting and analysis. NetPM leverages o" Rorotika’s
wealth of knowledge and experience in the MNO performance and optimisation arena to bring expert driven reports and content to the user.
