In an increasing complex multi-vendor and multi-technology environment it's not easy to keep control of all the details.  A higher degree of operational efficiency can be achieved by using an integrated configuration and performance management solution to work as a single and unified interface between engineers and the mobile system. RAN Configuration Manager streamlines critical information management processes, such as parameter administration, advanced configuration analyses, parameter audits, consistency checks and network topology management, and can boost information reliability and operational efficiency.

What is RAN Configuration Manager?

Ericsson RAN Configuration Manager (xNetManager) is a state-of-the-art configuration and performance management platform that centralizes the handling of all information concerning parameter settings and performance indicators in a multi-vendor and multi-technology cellular system. All available features are built on top of a rich set of common functionalities that allow direct connectivity to multi-vendor and multi-technology OSS databases, automatic task scheduling and advanced user management.

Our advanced configuration management functionalities allow engineering teams to navigate through the system’s parameter and interface settings at different hierarchical levels to

  • visualize and/or edit the current configuration,
  • execute consistency checks to identify settings that violate the established business rules,
  • highlight nodes with settings that deviate from recommended default values,
  • and automatically generate vendor-specific configuration scripts in order to modify network settings.

It also allows teams to keep track of the parameter change history and if needed fall-back to a previous configuration.
