Manage Subscriber QoE across Data, VoIP and IPTV Services
Today’s landscape is highly competitive, with subscribers having the freedom to select services from multiple service operators. As a result, service providers today are facing high churn rates.
In order to reduce churn rates, service operators work harder at offering a better customer experience and ensuring that services meet customer expectations. Operators understand that providing consistently reliable and high quality service through effective QoE measurement will lead to increased subscriber satisfaction and loyalty over time; and a drop in churn rates.
The Friendly QoE Monitoring Pro measures quality of service at the subscriber endpoint. Based on unique “QoE Proxy” technique, which facilitates the observation of TR 069 performance, Service Operators can proactively identify problems before they are felt by the customer, reducing service calls and churn and increasing satisfaction.
Friendly QoE Monitoring Pro verifies quality levels and KPIs of the broadband connectivity and service. If performance degradation or threshold violations are detected, the system sends an alarm notification and appropriate preventative actions can be taken. The application provides a broader view of the system in its entirety, rather than a limited assessment based on where degradation is located.
Measuring and understanding Subscriber’s Quality of Experience is highly important for the following segments:
- xDSL, Cable, ONT services – ensure smooth service operation and high throughput.
- 4G LTE Mobile Broadband – maximize radio network performance.
- IPTV OTT services – avoid image pixelization, freezing and zapping delays.
- Business Customers – guarantee SLA.
Friendly’s QoE & Monitoring solution enables to measure the service quality, network performance and traffic utilization as experienced by the subscriber.
Friendly’s QoE collects, analyzes, stores and presents KPIs and QoE measurements.
