“For the most recent 4G technologies with their vastly higher data rates and complex configuration options, traditional available bandwidth measurements (ABM) are no longer adequate,” says Kenneth Sch?nfeldt, VP Test & Measurement at Ascom Network Testing. He adds, “We have devised an innovative method of ABM, Blixt™, which helps operators to track the bandwidth being offered to their subscribers with great precision and millisecond resolution, but with minimum intrusiveness to have the smallest possible impact on paying subscribers.”
Ascom Network Testing is a market leader in testing and optimization solutions for mobile networks. The company serves over 500 customers including the top 20 mobile operators worldwide, including operators, infrastructure vendors, service providers, and government regulators. Blixt™ is a new tool for accurate and non-intrusive monitoring of the available bandwidth in a wireless network. It is a distinct improvement on existing methods, and it is indispensable for modern-day technologies such as 4G.
