ZTE helps Guangxi Telecom upgrade! Create intelligent network operation and maintenance, and create a better 5G experience

At present, China leads the world in network development, and has built the world's largest optical fiber network, with an Internet penetration rate of over 70%. At the same time, with the rapid development of network, the large-scale deployment of network infrastructure and the explosive growth of communication industry, users are no longer only satisfied with the primary requirements of accessing the network, but also put forward higher requirements for network quality.

At this time, the traditional mode of network quality monitoring and analysis by manpower has been difficult to meet the requirements of network development; The network monitoring mode with intelligence as the core will become the direction of future network evolution.

Traditional network operation and maintenance is facing great challenges.

As we all know, early communication networks relied on traditional manual operation and maintenance. For example, to realize 24-hour network quality monitoring and analysis, it is necessary to arrange multiple employees to work in three shifts, which greatly consumes manpower.

Moreover, this method can deal with simple networks in the early days, but it is more difficult for today's increasingly complex and huge networks when the difficulty of operation and maintenance has increased many times.

Therefore, when faced with the troubles of a large number of cells and counters in a subnet, it is a time-consuming and laborious work to find out the cells that cause network problems from many cells and then locate the root of the problem, so it is difficult to find the root of the problem quickly and ensure timeliness and accuracy.

ZTE joined hands with Guangxi Telecom to enter the era of intelligent network operation and reform.

Based on this, ZTE combines its leading technology in the 5G field with its understanding of industry development. Aiming at the internal and external challenges that telecom networks will face in the 5G era, this paper takes the trend of combining artificial intelligence, big data technology and networks as the breakthrough point to help Guangxi Telecom start the intelligent transformation of network operation and maintenance.

Recently, China Telecom Guangxi Branch and ZTE completed the first NQI(Network Quality Insight) network anomaly detection application based on uSmartNet intelligent platform in China, which marked that Guangxi Telecom's network quality monitoring entered a brand-new intelligent era, and this application was the first in the industry.

NQI's network change detection function is very different from the previous manual service with low efficiency and untimely response. It can provide 7*24 network key indicators monitoring, and the monitoring granularity can be increased to 15 minutes once, so as to automatically discover network operation problems and root causes.

It is worth mentioning that by setting NQI background tasks, sudden changes in network indicators can be found in time. Once an indicator deteriorates or fluctuates abnormally, the system will notify the monitor as soon as possible. At the same time, the system will automatically correlate network management alarm information, historical operation records, KPI and other data, quickly determine the affected sites or communities, analyze and give the root cause of KPI deterioration, and complete the problem location. NQI can compress the whole analysis and positioning time within 10- 15 minutes, which is 4-5 times more efficient than the traditional index change analysis.

In this way, operators can not only understand the operation status of all aspects of the network, but also monitor the operation quality of specific services, find problems in time, optimize and adjust quickly, and help the operation department reduce complaints from network customers and improve the user experience.

As a "digital economy road builder", ZTE has been giving full play to the technical advantages of 5G+ big data +AI, deeply tapping the value of data, and is committed to providing all-round capacity support for partners, with a view to building a digital ecology of the whole industry.

Nowadays, the introduction of ZTE NQI intelligent operation and maintenance will once again help operators upgrade their network performance, greatly improve the efficiency of network quality monitoring, build a more efficient and high-quality network, and provide users with a better 5G experience.
