9. ic is creating concerns about how IP packet data affects wireless networks Since IP applications were not designed for transmission over a wireless infrastructure it is no surprise that some of these applications consume significant amounts of resources in the wireless network In addition to bandwidth these applications consume signaling radio frequency RF channels airtime and backhaul resources The perform ance of wireless IP networks is intimately coupled to the types of applications the network transports and in a complex way To accommodate the IP load and enable resilient and robust delivery of emerging applications wireless service providers need complete visibility of how every behavior and flow resolved to individual devices and servers places load on the network This is a paradigm shift in how IP networks are currently built This new visibility means the service provider can effectively optimize their wireless networks to deliver the continuously evolving list of applications Identify Resource Usage and Manage the Network The Alcatel Lucent 9900 Wireless Network Guardian WNG offers powerful capabilities for monitoring 2 5G 3G and 4G wireless data networks It identifies wireless network resource usage and allows you to better manage network performance And it allows you to pro tect your networks from degraded performance and outages that can arise from transmitting wireless unfriendly IP traffic
