Tektronix Communications, a leading worldwide provider of Network
Intelligence and communications test solutions, today announced at
Mobile World Congress that Telstra, Australia’s leading
telecommunications company, will deploy Tektronix’ new GeoProbe G10
probe and Iris applications for monitoring its national 3G mobile
broadband network, a network with speeds that are unsurpassed by any
other national mobile broadband network in the world.
Telstra currently uses the GeoProbe network assurance solution
from Tektronix Communications to monitor and troubleshoot its 2G/3G,
VoIP and fixed networks, and will now deploy the GeoProbe G10 and Iris
applications throughout its nationwide, high-speed mobile broadband
network, the Next G network.
The GeoProbe G10 provides real-time information in a
single-sign-on interface for all service troubleshooting and performance
monitoring functions.
"Our wireless data growth is doubling every eight months, so
upgrading to the GeoProbe G10 will enable us to provide the capacity
required to monitor the network," said John Romano, director of wireless
operations for Telstra. "We expect it will also help us to better
understand network traffic patterns and issues that may be impacting our
customers’ experience when using our Next G services."
"Telstra was looking to expand its network management platform
to manage their world-class mobile broadband network, a network with
speeds that are unsurpassed by any other national mobile broadband
network in the world," said Mark Driedger, vice president and general
manager of Network Management for Tektronix Communications. "The Iris
suite of products, together with the already installed GeoProbe
solutions from Tektronix Communications, will provide Telstra with a
scalable platform and toolset for rapidly increasing data-centric
customer demand."
