Airvana Launches Device Management System to Optimize the Performance of Small Cell NetworksAirvana, a leading provider of small cell solutions, today announced the Device Management System (DMS), a comprehensive management system that enables wireless operators to deploy and support small cell networks. DMS builds upon Airvana's proven first-generation Femtocell (News - Alert) Service Manager (FSM), which has helped operators exceed 99 percent voice and data session success rates across millions of small cells in the field. DMS supports all of Airvana's small cell products, including OneCell™, an LTE (News - Alert) Cloud RAN small cell system for enterprises and public venues. DMS provides a centralized view of the small cell network, empowering operators to deliver an optimal subscriber experience. Operators can control key functions such as plug-and-play device configuration, self-organizing network (SON) settings, problem diagnosis and resolution, and system-wide management. The DMS's intelligent SON algorithms consistently achieve the best possible voice and data performance. These field-proven algorithms also ensure the macro network is not negatively impacted, even in markets where the operator has nearly 1,000 small cells within the footprint of a single macro cell. "Operators need to efficiently manage high volumes of small cells while ensuring tight integration with the macro network and back-end operational systems," said Joe Madden, Principal Analyst with Mobile Experts. "In particular, operators need better tols to enable rapid deployment of small cells, and it's important for new management software to include features to handle configuration changes gracefully over large numbers of devices. Systems like DMS are critical in enabling operators to reduce costs of deploying small cells at high volume." Key benefits of Airvana (News - Alert) DMS include:
"Management systems are the unsung heroes of successful small cell deployments," said Rod Gatehouse, vice president of marketing and product management at Airvana. "As operators increasingly leverage small cells to deliver LTE service to subscribers and enterprises, a comprehensive management system is essential in providing a quality subscriber experience while maintaining full network visibility." DMS will be commercially available in Q2 2015. For more information, visit www.airvana.com.
