Unbox your boxed KPIs with FreTSO Pyramid

RF dashboards need modernization just like Technology 3G/4G/5G. when have a single Box of technology at sites, our dashboards were serving the purpose quite well but as soon as the number of Boxes increased at our sites so did the number of dashboards in one-one fashion making global view of the site difficult and hence the impact of changing one parameter in one technology to the entire site was invisible.
now we need to unbox the frequency layer from each of the boxes and have ONE dashboard of KPIs with respect to Frequencies (the most scarce and expensive resource of the cellular network). And FHO grid be an inherent benefit of this model as well. In one of my previous blogs I have already mentioned FHO (Frequency-based HO) Grid that can act as a traffic management KPI.
In this way we can start taking proactive actions to manage RF resources to cater for 10s of new services expected in 5G and beyond as we would be able see the consumption of RF resources at top level on daily basis.
