Spurred by exponential growth, MTN Group, a multi-national telecoms provider with operating companies in 21 countries across Africa and the Middle East, has tapped Arieso for its location-aware mobile network management solutions.
The agreement makes Arieso the preferred supplier of software and systems for subscriber-centric network design, planning and optimization to MTN Group. All 21 of MTN’s operating companies can use Arieso’s full suite of mobile network planning and optimization solutions to manage and improve the performance of their 2G and 3G networks.
Arieso’s mobile network management technologies target mobile operators who are experiencing high growth in data traffic, but whose radio network quality is suffering because of insufficient network capacity. Arieso solutions use location-aware subscriber information to improve network performance and quality of service to the subscriber, based on actual end-user experience.
“MTN is committed to providing the highest standards of mobile voice and high-speed data services to our customers everywhere,” said Navi Naidoo, general manager of network technology at MTN Group. “Our rapid growth across different markets – together with the explosion in demand for mobile broadband in Africa and the Middle East – means we need powerful, scalable solutions that help us actively manage and optimize our networks. Arieso’s ground-breaking technology addresses this need, according to end-user requirements and our own CAPEX and OPEX guidelines.”
Arieso solutions enable a mobile operator to monitor and improve network performance on an ongoing basis, according to the precise location of subscribers and their user patterns, so the operator can deliver an optimal mobile end-user experience.
MTN Group is one of the world’s fastest growing operator groups. It serves more than 123 million 2G and 3G subscribers in South Africa, Botswana, Cameroon, Liberia, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Rwanda, Sudan, Cyprus, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Yemen and others.
