3G Networks, Services Boost Wireless Network Monitoring Systems

Increasing implementation rates of 3G wireless networks and their associated high-bandwidth services are driving the demand for wireless network monitoring services. The need to monitor these services will likely drive wireless network monitoring services over the next several years.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, World Wireless Network Monitoring Systems Market, reveals that the market earned revenues of $201.9 million in 2006 and estimates this to reach $291.7 million in 2011.

According to Frost & Sullivan research analyst Mark Holler, “With implementation rates of 3G wireless networks and services on the rise, the opportunities for monitoring system vendors are significant indeed.”

However, vendors providing monitoring systems face significant challenges, as network operators change their approach from customer-centric management to a more service-oriented one. Operators expect advanced systems capable of monitoring network connectivity and services as well as their customers.

Offering these advanced services will likely heighten the complexity of monitoring and analysis. “Vendors need to understand the focus shift by operators and offer a range of products/solutions specific to subscriber experience and service management, as opposed to basic products/solutions for managing network elements,” notes Holler.

Also, the increasingly complex networks have created strong demand for systems capable of monitoring across all of the various technologies incorporated in increasingly complex communication networks.
