Mobile Core Monitoring
IP based services and architectures are increasingly becoming the norm in mobile networks, bringing opportunities for service differentiation and OPEX/CAPEX savings. Service providers need to aggressively transform their operations to stay competitive while maintaining a high level of quality for their subscribers. Hammer XMS™ delivers a single platform with complete visibility across TDM and packet domains, providing the right solutions for managing complexity and providing a consistent customer experience – including transitions from circuit switched voice to packet based VOIP / IMS as well as mobile signaling from conventional TDM SS7 to SIGTRAN.
Hammer XMS solutions for GSM and CDMA networks enable real-time visibility into service delivery performance for mobile voice and SMS services. With a comprehensive view of network activity, service providers can proactively manage call quality and ensure a superior QoE (Quality of Experience) by optimizing network and service efficiency.
The Hammer XMS solution provides an integrated approach to monitoring and verifying services through the following IP-based innovations for mobile networks:- Mobile SoftSwitches: To reduce service delivery costs and address increasing threats from low-cost operators, service providers are making mobile softswitches an essential element of their network cores. Hammer XMS provides an integrated approach to monitor next generation VoIP and IMS network elements and their interworking with established TDM-based mobile signaling. Learn more
- Peering/Interconnect: To maximize revenue and lower CAPX and OPEX spend, mobile operators can utilize an ecosystem of IP peering partners for carrying roaming traffic, traffic between network regions, as well as terminations to the PSTN. While IP peering brings economic benefits, it also introduces a new set of technical metrics that must be monitored to ensure SLA compliance and a consistent customer experience. Hammer XMS has long been deployed for VoIP interconnect monitoring and provides extensive support for the peering/interconnect challenges of mobile operators. Learn more
- Fixed Mobile Convergence: With the increased convergence of mobile and fixed line networks in providing mobility, leveraging existing broadband infrastructure is becoming more compelling and economical. Hammer XMS enables operators to take advantage of these topologies by providing solutions to monitor and verify smooth handoffs, voice call continuity and quality for a consistent customer experience.

- Femtocells: As consumer expectations continue to rise for ubiquitous coverage and as more customers “cut the cord” for voice service, femtocells play an essential role in helping operators optimize their networks. Hammer XMS provides the necessary visibility to IP and TDM legs of a femtocell call, giving operators the confidence that femtocells can be a transparent part of their overall mobile network.
