5G scales everything

Most mobile network and virtual network operators believe their current service assurance systems are inadequate for the 5G era and beyond.

81%

expect 5G will be more complex to troubleshoot than its predecessors

More complex

Today’s mobile networks are made up of many new moving parts, cloud platforms, private networks, strong encryption, and countless micro connections, all tightly and dynamically linked together, pushing network complexity to its peak.

69%

agree that fault detection and correlation are more difficult in cloud native networks

More diverse

5G services now span core data centers, edge sites, and multiple clouds, each with its own tools, processes, and data, making it much harder to stitch together and understand the complete picture.

74%

say a lack of cloud‑specific assurance tools force them to rely on manual processes

More traffic

Users are consuming 2-3x more data after adopting 5G services, and operators attempting to monitor this new data landscape with legacy tools and manual processes have seen sharp increases to OPEX.

80%

say they must monitor performance for each user, device, and end-to-end network slice

More endpoints

Billions of connected endpoints now rely on the network across cities, factories, healthcare, and homes, adding service streams operators must watch in real time at user and service levels.

86%

believe that real‑time network and quality of experience intelligence is needed

Real‑time is no longer optional

When traffic, devices, use cases, deployments, and architectures are all multiplying at once, problems spread in minutes, not hours. Operators can no longer rely on a reactive approach, they need live, actionable feedback to spot and fix issues proactively.

Mobile Assurance FAQs

Is NumoData Mobile assurance fully cloud native?

Plus Icon

Yes, NumoData’s Mobile assurance solution is fully cloud native. The solution is orchestrated by Kubernetes and designed as a coherent collection of microservices that can easily scale horizontally. It features N+1 redundancy with automatic re-instantiation if any microservice instance fails, zero-touch administration, and can be deployed in private cloud, public cloud, or a combination of both.

Is it compatible with Virtual traffic access point (vTap)?

Plus Icon

Yes, the solution is compatible with vTap. The documentation recommends instantiating cloud-native probes on the same site as Network Functions to avoid packet loss introduced by long distance transfer over user datagram protocol (UDP) tunnels used by vTAPs. The platform supports multiple vTap options including network vendor vTaps, third-party vTaps, Tap-As-A-Service (TAAS), and physical tapping functions.

Can you modify your Anomaly Detection rules?

Plus Icon

Yes, you can modify Anomaly Detection parameters. The system allows tuning sensitivity parameters to adjust detection thresholds and supports multiple models. The solution uses AI and advanced machine learning to automatically set and dynamically adapt thresholds to network changes, but parameters can be configured to customize the detection sensitivity.

Can you create your own KPIs?

Plus Icon

Yes, custom KPI creation is supported. The Operational Analytics application features a highly configurable self-service UI that enables custom dashboard creation and KPI definition. The platform is data-agnostic and allows users to create custom KPIs tailored to their specific monitoring needs.

Do you have management system for probe configuration?

Plus Icon

Yes, there is a comprehensive probe configuration management system. The platform includes a Tracing Policy service that manages real-time configuration changes for Control Plane (CP) and User Plane (UP) capture at the probe level. This includes activation/deactivation of interface capturing, User Plane packet generation for subscriber lists, and adaptive data capture configurations through REST APIs.

Do you monitor Real time transfer protocol (RTP) traffic for voice quality?

Plus Icon

Yes, the solution monitors RTP traffic for comprehensive voice quality analysis. The User Plane probe can be deployed in IMS mode specifically to monitor real time transfer protocol/real time transfer configuration protocol (RTP/RTCP) streams from IP media subsystems (IMS) networks.

The RTP monitoring provides extensive voice quality metrics including:·

  • MOS (Mean Opinion Score) calculations: Both Listening Quality (MOS-LQ) and Conversational Quality (MOS-CQ), measured at call start, during the call, and at call end
  • R-factor measurements: Listening quality and conversational quality R-factors calculated for audio streams
  • Packet loss metrics: Packets lost in the network, packets discarded due to late arrival, and out-of-sequence packets
  • Jitter measurement: Packet-to-packet delay variation per (RFC3550) standards
  • One-way delay: Average one-way delay including playout buffer and decoder delay
  • Bitrate monitoring: Average bitrate of audio data in bps

What is the difference between active and passive mobile network testing?

Plus Icon

Active testing injects synthetic traffic into the network to measure performance under controlled conditions – latency, throughput, jitter, and application behavior. Passive monitoring captures and analyses live network traffic without generating additional load. NumoData Mobile Network Assurance combines both: passive monitoring for continuous baseline visibility, active testing for precise fault isolation and service validation.

How does NumoData Mobile Network Assurance integrate with existing OSS/BSS systems?

Plus Icon

The platform exposes open REST APIs and a flexible adapter framework that ingests and correlates events from any major vendor across domains. It connects to existing OSS/BSS and automation stacks without requiring rearchitecting of current systems, enabling closed-loop use cases on top of infrastructure already in place.

What is 5G service assurance and why does it require a different approach?

Plus Icon

5G service assurance is the process of monitoring, diagnosing, and maintaining quality across 5G network slices, cloud-native functions, and edge deployments. It requires different tooling from 4G because 5G is cloud-native and highly distributed, uses strong encryption that limits traditional packet analysis, and introduces new architectural elements such as network slicing, NFV, and multi-access edge computing that must each be assured independently and end-to-end.
