Operator Cuts Network Optimization Time by 50 Percent

A mobile network operator, with operations spanning Northern and Eastern Europe, was looking to expand its mobile and data services offering into the Internet of Things (IoT). It identified two emerging cellular IoT technologies—NB-IoT and LTE-Cat-M1 (LTE-M)—as prime methods for delivering that service, but needed to better understand the real-world performance of those technologies. The operator wanted technical validation that its network could meet the quality and coverage requirements necessary to support its IoT business case. Read this case study to learn how the network operator successfully completed its NB-IoT/Cat-M1 pilot project, while reducing its network optimization time by 50% and improving network quality by 25%.
