NIx Network
Intelligence

Make your network work harder for you by leveraging the power of NIx assurance and automation platform. This powerful multi-vendor, multi-technology, multi-domain and multi-service platform offers to service providers a portfolio of fully flexible modules and applications that help to automate and orchestrate specific use cases, improving network performance and guaranteeing quality customer experience.
NIx maximises efficiency and quality while adding richness of data, agility, adaptability and responsiveness to your network, irrespective of whether the environment of your choice is OSS, CSON or RIC.

The NIx Platform

A powerful solution to address your automation and orchestration challenges

NIx is a modular, scalable, easily customisable and cost-effective platform. It allows CSPs to automate operation and optimisation network processes by implementing the latest technology advancements such as AI, ML, OpenAPI and big data analytics.

NIx intelligently learns from all your data sources regardless of their nature or departmental ownership, BSS or OSS.

Extremely flexible, NIx adapts to your set up and use cases. Equally, its modules and applications are easily customisable to the required technology (legacy and virtualised), equipment vendor and domain.

NIx for your chosen system

Process automation and orchestration improve the performance of any system.
Whether you manage the network directly via OSS, optimise your RAN via a C-SON system or, indeed,
start to dive into the OpenRAN standards (i.e O-RAN ALLIANCE, Telecom Infra Project, etc) and explore xApps/rApps via a RIC platform,
the NIx platform offers a portfolio of applications that are adaptable to any of the ecosystems: you decide which one.

OSS

The traditional Operations Support Systems, where all what relates to networks (i.e. order management, network inventory management and network operations) is managed

C-SON

The Centralised Self- Organising Network system makes the management of mobile radio access networks simpler and faster, and inter-works with cells supplied by different equipment vendors

RIC

A RAN Intelligent Controller brings multivendor interoperability, intelligence, agility, and programmability to radio access networks by implementing radio access technology (RAT)

Discover our use case-focused, data-driven AI/ML solutions

Depending on the specific stage of the Autonomous Network Journey you are in, you may find refreshing to discover use-case focused solutions that leverage the power of AI/ML. Here are some of the most popular examples at a glance:

Apps that make a difference

Energy Saver

Advanced power saving
features orchestrator

The App manages the switching on and off of the radio resources based on forecasting of traffic demand and performance. It orchestrates the activation of the power consumption features implemented by the different equipment vendors considering the topology, configuration and forecasted performance data of network elements such as traffic, number of active users, etc.

The Energy Saver solution supports network operators with the optimisation of their power consumption, minimising their energy costs based on their specific energy saving strategy, without causing any service degradation that could negatively impact the service performance.

Real-implementations have demonstrated that the level of energy savings achieved is a reduction of up to 15% of the life cycle cost.

Smart planner

Intelligent utilisation
of existing capacity

The App applies data analytics based on AI/ML to identify congestion situations. It then recommends appropriate remediation actions according to the specific strategy defined by the operator.

The Smart Planner solution helps to make the most of the current capacity to maximise traffic and users before a decision on expensive capacity expansion is considered and taken.

Supervisor

Automated network supervision
and degradation remediation

AI/ML algorithms automatically detect any deviation from the norm which may give rise to potential degradations and correlate them to the most probable cause. Suitable actions are then automatically taken to implement the corrections.

The Supervisor solution identifies degradations of the network through continuous unattended network supervision and automatically remediates them to fully recover the expected service level.

Footprint

Advanced coverage and
user distribution automation

The Automatic Cell Footprint Optimisation solution, developed using our Footprint App, identifies the inefficiencies of the radio spectrum utilisation. Using advanced AI/ML models, the powerful algorithms identify abnormal cell coverage and then recommend the corrections required to achieve optimal configuration on the network.

Explore our Automatic Cell Footprint Optimisation solution

The Spectrum Efficiency solution goes a step further. Once it has identified the cells that either overshoot or undershoot their intended coverage areas and proposed the recommended corrections, it automates the appropriate adjustments of the electrical tilt of their antenna, closing the loop. The corrections applied result in an increase of the throughput values, a more comprehensive traffic load distribution and an optimum use of the spectrum.
