NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. announced that it has provided its end-through-end service assurance solutions to the Rural Independent Network Alliance (known as RINA Wireless) to support mobile control plane and user plane visibility for greater efficiency. NETSCOUT’s solutions also help RINA Wireless’s mobile carrier service providers (CSPs) to evolve their networks to deliver higher data speeds, lower latency, and increased capacity for an exceptional customer experience.
“Rural carriers face many unique challenges, including the cost of building and maintaining their infrastructure and the ability to offer new technologies due to limited economies of scale,” said Patrick Kelly, founder, partner, and principal analyst for Appledore Research. “NETSCOUT’s solutions help CSPs quickly identify and resolve network challenges, reducing the total cost of ownership while enabling them to compete more effectively.”
RINA Wireless’s membership includes 26 independent CSPs across 17 markets. The cooperative helps mitigate business and technology risks to yield successful and profitable deployment of mobile network services. It provides carriers with the high-quality services their rural customers demand to ensure the optimal mobile experience they deserve.
“NETSCOUT’s trusted solutions provide a significant gain in efficiency that directly impacts the quality of services we can provide to our subscribers,” said Allen Bennion, chief operating officer at RINA Wireless. “Proactive monitoring assures the highest levels of LTE, VoLTE, VoWi-Fi, and overall performance, and NETSCOUT’s solutions go beyond monitoring to provide real-time visibility and insights that enable carriers to reduce troubleshooting costs and deliver better customer service.”
