Why Tems Symphony

1. Quality of service (QoS) is a key differentiator for attracting and retaining subscribers

2. Understanding competition is one way to ensure differentiation

How can Tems Symphony improves differentiation

a) Keep Track of Your Competitors – TEMS Symphony will quickly give you insight into any changes (good or bad) to your competitors’ networks, allowing you to respond, or capitalize

b)Target Optimization Efforts – By focusing network optimization efforts on those areas where your performance is weakest, you can provide the highest level of perceived service quality, at the lowest possible cost

c)Attract and Retain Subscribers – By making TEMS Symphony part of your continuous network improvement cycle, you can ensure that you are delivering the network quality necessary to appeal to high-revenue customers

TEMS Symphony Suite Training – 1 day (excl. Installation)

Course Description

Description:

TEMS™ Symphony, Ascom Network Testing’s highly configurable wireless network Benchmarking solution, enables engineers to run benchmarking campaigns and drive test in a quick, easy, and cost-effective manner.

This one-day course covers the TEMS Sypmhony features that engineers need to prepare so they can adequately operate and configure the system. It is aimed at a higher skill level of intermediate to expert. Comprehensive description and system feature demonstration will help the students understand the tools work flow to extract and interpret any relevant information.

Learning Objectives:

After completion of this training, the participant should be able to:

• Configure the Symphony data acquisition equipment to measure mobile radio network systems on various technologies (GSM / GRPS-EDGE / WCDMA – HSPA / LTE)
• Understand general KPI’s for Voice, Data, SMS, MMS and VT tests and configure adequate related measurement scenarios

Target Audience:

The target audience for this course is primarily for service deployment engineers, system engineers, and service engineers, but also radio network optimizers, cell planners, service planning engineers, service design engineers, network design engineers, network deployment engineers.

Prerequisites:

The participants should have the related technology competence as radio network terms are used extensively during the training. In addition, we ask that you provide us the contact details of a local coordinator with whom Ascom can liaise to organize the training.

Duration and class size:

The duration of the course is 1 day and the maximum number of participants is 10. It comes together with system commissioning of the equipment that is performed before the classroom to take place. Usually sold as a 3 days service but depends on the number of systems to commission.
