IPX Navigator 2.0 is the new version of the monitoring tool available to Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier’s IPX and data roaming customers. It provides advanced end-to-end monitoring of IPX traffic flow in near real time and was developed in cooperation with BENOCS, a traffic optimization and analytics company.
IPX Navigator addresses a common problem for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). They often work with multiple IPX providers for data roaming but are unable to see detailed analytics for their IPX traffic flow. This solution provides a high-level, easy to read visualization over a customizable dashboard. It shows complete data roaming traffic flows from all partner providers over one display. The newly released version of the tool includes new features such as differentiated monitoring of traffic flows, a network heat map, capacity planning and looking glass-as-a-service.
Csaba Füzesi, Head of Product Management Voice & Mobile Services at Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier, said, “This new release of our IPX Navigator data roaming monitoring tool is a perfect example of how seriously we take customer feedback and how market requirements shape our product development activities. Customer satisfaction drives our actions, also when it comes to our product innovation and development processes.”
Stephan Schroeder, CEO from BENOCS added, “IPX Navigator allows the detection of traffic bottlenecks and enables visibility into the most direct routes. This means organizations are able to quickly optimize management, both from a commercial agreement side and from a technical perspective. This is truly an innovative solution for efficient and cost-effective global roaming.”
IPX Navigator works with a top-down approach, meaning the visualization first gives a complete overview of roaming traffic. This includes all retail and business customers the client has in their roaming environment. Then, by simply clicking on the image, it is possible to dive deeper for more detailed views. In this way, for example, more direct routes to a destination can be made visible for the first time. Data privacy and data security are assured throughout the entire IPX Navigator solution.
