At the heart of Merlin is the RANStatsTM data lake which views RAN performance from a consumer application standpoint. Every time a user communicates on the mobile network, Merlin records critical CX performance metrics for that data session, alongside application-level information. These CX KPIs are then stored together with detailed radio channel information and are available for post-processing using advanced ML Applications. For the first time in the wireless industry, Merlin connects CX performance directly with cell site realities.
- Understand which specific cell sites are not meeting performance targets
- Optimize individual cell site performance to contribute to the larger business
- Optimize individual cell site performance to contribute to the larger business
- Prevent the defection of users identified as likely to leave your network
With billions of dollars of CAPEX in play, 4G/5G demands modernized RAN Business Intelligence
For mobile operators, real-time RAN control is the most valuable untapped opportunity for ML application development. Using Opanga’s proven ML-enabled data lake, Merlin combines network-wide data with second-by-second RAN insights.
RANStats data lake is built by disaggregating control protocol and traffic information:
- Inference of real-time RAN conditions
- Automatic performance triggers initiate second-by-second data collection reported every minute
- Data samples include all key subscriber, application, and network information for ML deep learning
- Supervised data models train quickly with high levels of accuracy as a result of dynamic data granularity
