Dublin, January 11, 2011 – CommProve, the top innovation provider of network monitoring and business solutions for mobile networks,today announced that it has become a member of the Network Intelligence Alliance (NI Alliance), a new industry organization created for collaboration among the Network Economy’s technology providers. Participation in theNI Alliance will help CommProve to build and market innovative solutions for customers seeking to maximize their profit and revenue while keeping the network quality at a sustainable level.

In today’s Network Economy accurate visibility and precise tracking of data crossing networks have become crucial to the availability, performance and security of applications and services. The growing complexity of IP transactions, the explosion of mobile applications, and the mainstream adoption of cloud computing surpass the capabilities of conventional tools to improve how networks operate. Just like Business Intelligence solutions emerged to unlock information hidden in the enterprise, Network Intelligence technology is an emerging technology aimed at revealing the critical details of the data locked inside network traffic and transactions.

The NI Alliance serves two purposes: first, as a forum for collaboration among technology providers whose solutions secure data in transit, ensure efficient data delivery, monetize data transactions or track real-time information. Through the NI Alliance, members can better serve their customers.

The NI Alliance also seeks to educate the market and the public on the role and value of Network Intelligence in protecting sensitive information; delivering value-added services, applications and information; and ensuring better performance of network-dependent solutions.

CommProve includes Network Intelligence within CommProve Complete™ Solutions to transform operators’network data into profitability. The Network Intelligence will boost the mobile broadband network monitoring capabilities of CommProve Complete™ to improve the visibility of mobile traffic at various layers of the network, in order to identify and troubleshoot precisely where in the network subscriber Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) issues arise.

“We are proud to be a member of the Network Intelligence Alliance. As the telecom value chain is changing and money may flow away from the infrastructure providers, difficult choices have to be made concerning CAPEX purchases, which will affect business performance for many years to come,” says Lars Pedersen, CEO of CommProve.”Network Intelligence capabilities will help us to address the business element in the network in an effective way.”

Operators need a powerful tool to prevent RAN congestion in the areas where standard subscribers are blocking the network for VIP subscribers. Having different types of subscribers, an intelligent selection can be made based on customer profiles by differentiating between the VIP subscribers versus the standard subscribers, the location and type of service accessed (e.g. email, P2P, streaming etc.). The CommProve RAN congestion detection solution, through real-time monitoring across the different network interfaces will provide valuable information about the services being used by different subscribers in different areas of the network. Combined with a mobile traffic steering solution this allows increased revenues and reduced CAPEX and OPEX by optimizing the usage of the available network infrastructure resources.

“CommProve is a valuable addition to the NI Alliance and we welcome their participation,” said Erik Larsson, Chairman of the NI Alliance. “The NI Alliance is about collaborative innovation with companies like CommProve who plays a leadership role in mobile network monitoring. Working with other NI Alliance members, CommProve’s customers will be able to more effectively leverage Network Intelligence to better manage, protect and profit from their data networks.”

Establishment of the NI Alliance was initiated by Qosmos, whose Network Intelligence technology components provide the crucial first step in understanding what’s passing through networks. Qosmos’ hardware and software components extract and interpret real-time traffic—translating a data stream’s 1s and 0s into their respective communications protocols, metadata and content for use by third-party applications.

Through the NI Alliance, Qosmos expands its collaborative approach to help vendors design and deliver advanced solutions with embedded Network Intelligence technology in less time and at lower cost. The NI Alliance provides a channel for dialogue and partnerships that Alliance Members otherwise may not have considered or pursued when addressing the needs of joint customers. Visibility within the vendor community through the NI Alliance affords companies opportunities to market more comprehensive solutions with greater ROI and faster time to value for customers.
