TEOCO announces updated version of Dimension for telcos

TEOCO has released version 2.2 of Dimension – its end-to-end visualisation and capacity planning tool for mobile networks. Dimension enables operators to plan their entire network capacity across each element, from radio access to backhaul and transport core.

Dimension is a centralised system that can be accessed simultaneously by numerous network planners. The new release improves performance in key areas and adds new functionality.

Previously, Dimension required the user to input traffic growth forecasts in order to determine the future needs of the network. Now, Dimension can use historical data to predict future traffic growth, and use these predictions to identify where upgrades will be necessary to cope with this growth.

Importantly, the release has also added LTE to its UMTS and GSM radio capacity planning capability. The updated version also includes flexibility in the data being measured - users can add custom data such as costs or performance management parameters to the data.

By using Dimension, operators can plan a network accurately, predict and prevent bottlenecks; use an efficient ‘just-in-time’ approach to network upgrades, and prioritize upgrades based on device launches and planned services.

“Operators need to see not only how their network is coping with the amount of data passing through it - but also to predict with confidence how new technologies and new devices will affect the network, and where investment is needed,” said Shachar Ebel, CTO TEOCO. “The new, upgraded version of Dimension allows operators to be smart and shrewd in how they invest in their networks, to properly plan for the future.”
