P.I.

SON
New Generation Optimization
P.I.SON is a centralized automated network optimization solution. Automated configuration management and
adaptive optimization algorithms are coordinated centrally to manage improvements to complex heterogeneous
networks (HetNets) and shared networks. The P.I.SON solution yields best subscriber experience, increased data
throughput, minimizing OpEx and improving utilization of network equipment leading to CapEx reductions and
deferral.

P.I.Works provides
centralized mobile network
performance optimization
solutions. P.I.Works
solutions assure lower
cost by improving network
capacity and mobile user
experience. Its proprietary
performance management
and optimization tools that
specialize in GSM, CDMA,
HSPA & LTE technologies
reduce operational costs
while minimizing capacity
requirements by deferring
capacity extension cost.

Automated MRO (Mobility Robustness Optimization)

reduces handover failures by tuning the handover
borders, which are crucial for mobile streaming and
Voice over LTE (VoLTE) service.

Operational Efficiency by Advanced Correlation

Minimized Coverage Problems by Dynamic RET

P.I.SON`s geo-located call-trace visualization, CEM-data

processing, FM-correlation features allow operators to
boost LTE service with fewer drive tests.

P.I SON CCO automatically reduces the coverage gaps

by up-tilting the cells within the power budget. This
resulted in fewer customer complaints and higher traffic
volume.

Quick results see the impact on your network in less
than one month.
Reduce and defer CapEx P.I.SON provides efficient
usage of network resources with load balancing
Function (MLB) and Coverage and Capacity
Optimization (CCO) functions which have been
demonstrated to defer capEx investments by 13
months.*

Reduce OpEx automated optimization increases

the productivity of your team to improve and
maintain the quality of your network as it grows more

Increase your revenue and profitability
improvements in network KPIs and better resource
utilization minimize customer complaints and help
you to reduce subscriber churn. Fast recovery time
on network outages reduces lost traffic.

ARCHITECTURE
P.I.SON system architecture consists of two main components; OneTOOL Platform and Execution Manager.
OneTOOL ETL Platform collects, processes and stores all data from network sources. The execution manager is
heart of the tool and executes the optimization algorithms according to configuration taken from web-based user
interface. Command management and retrieval of system configuration are done with coordination of execution
manager and OSS/IRP manager.
