Network optimization is a process aimed at improving mobile network performance, user experience, and operational efficiency. As mobile networks evolve toward more complex multi-technology environments, including LTE, 5G NSA, and 5G SA, operators face increasing challenges in identifying performance bottlenecks and other QoS issues.
Effective network optimization relies on accurate, real-world data collected from the field. Drive and walk testing and stationary measurements remain critical methods for understanding how networks perform under actual usage conditions. Key optimization metrics include throughput, latency, packet loss, handover success rates, call setup times, and signal quality indicators such as RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR.
Network optimization is pivotal as, in an era dominated by high-definition video and data-heavy content, user expectations have never been higher. The lack of effective network optimization leads to poor network quality, which then will lead to frustration for end users and churn for operators.
Echo solutions enable engineers to capture high-quality network performance data efficiently, without the complexity or cost associated with traditional test systems. We offer support for multi-technology measurements across LTE and 5G networks, allowing teams to identify coverage holes and interference issues, compare performance across vendors, sites, and configurations, and more.
