Our all-rounder for optimised network performance
7P Accelerant is cloud-based software that allows you to continuously and automatically test network parameters from the perspective of your end customers. The possible applications are extremely diverse. This means that 7P Accelerant can be used for a wide range of challenges and problems with your network performance.
The following list provides an insight into how 7P Accelerant can support you.
- Problem: With the introduction of new technologies such as 5G and the increasing complexity of networks, telecoms companies are faced with the challenge of having to scale their test infrastructure quickly in order to cope with increasing demands.
- Solution: 7P Accelerant’s scalable architecture enables easy adaptation to new technologies and horizontal scaling to meet growing network requirements. This ensures a future-proof test infrastructure that grows with the requirements of the industry.
- Example: A network test provider scales its test infrastructure using 7P Accelerant to support the rollout of a new national 5G network and ensure seamless test coverage.
- Problem: The telecoms industry is evolving rapidly and test frameworks need to be continuously adapted to new technologies and standards. A slow update cycle can cause companies to fall behind the technological curve.
- Solution: Through bi-weekly software updates, 7P Accelerant ensures that the test framework is always at the cutting edge of technology. This enables users to quickly integrate new technologies and continuously optimise their test processes.
- Example: A telecommunications company benefits from regular software updates that support new 5G functionalities and can immediately integrate these functions into its test processes.
- Problem: Companies offering telecoms services need to ensure that charge data records (CDRs) are recorded and processed correctly. Manual checks are time-consuming and error-prone, which can lead to billing errors and potential loss of revenue.
- Solution: The automated checking of CDRs against predefined rules enables billing errors to be recognised and rectified at an early stage without the need for manual intervention. This ensures high billing accuracy and reduces the risk of errors that could lead to customer complaints.
- Example: A mobile phone provider relies on automated CDR checks to ensure that all call minutes and data volumes are billed correctly, even with complex tariff structures.
- Problem: Telecommunications companies need to ensure that their systems and services comply with industry standards such as 3GPP, ETSI and RFCs. Manual rule management is time-consuming and can lead to inconsistencies.
- Solution: The use of AI for automated rule generation ensures that all tests and processes comply with current industry standards. This increases compliance and minimises the risk of breaching regulatory requirements.
- Example: A network solutions provider uses AI to automatically generate test rules that comply with the latest 3GPP standards, ensuring that all new network functions meet regulatory requirements.
- Problem: Companies that test telecoms networks often have to manage thousands of SIM cards. Managing these SIMs manually can lead to significant delays and errors, especially when SIMs are required for different test purposes or networks.
- Solution: With advanced SIM management and the integration of SIM multiplexers and eSIM platforms, companies can manage their SIMs efficiently. This facilitates testing in large networks and significantly reduces the time needed to handle SIMs.
- Example: A test lab validating network services for different markets can quickly switch between SIM cards thanks to seamless SIM management, speeding up the testing process.
- Problem: Telecommunications services need to be tested in different countries and networks, which often requires different environment variables such as APNs or SMSC addresses. Manually adapting test scripts for each configuration is time-consuming and error-prone.
- Solution: The ability to dynamically adjust environment variables without changing the core scripts allows testers to test efficiently across multiple configurations. This saves time and reduces susceptibility to errors, especially when expanding to new markets.
- Example: A mobile phone provider that offers its services in several countries can test new network settings quickly and efficiently thanks to dynamic test customisation, without having to manually adapt existing test scripts.
- Problem: In many regions, multiple network technologies coexist (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G NSA, WiFi, 5G SA). Applications that are only tested under optimal conditions can be unstable or unreliable when switching between these technologies, which can lead to a poor user experience.
- Solution: With multi-technology support, applications can be tested across all relevant network technologies. This ensures that the app runs stably under all conditions and offers consistently good performance, regardless of whether the user is connected via 2G, 5G or WiFi.
- Example: A music streaming service that notices that streaming slows down when switching from 4G to 3G can test and optimise these scenarios in advance to ensure uninterrupted playback.
- Problem: Companies that operate globally face the challenge of ensuring that their mobile app works reliably in different countries and regions. Simulated test environments cannot adequately reflect the variety of network conditions and device types, which can lead to an inadequate user experience and possible loss of revenue.
- Solution: Global Real Device Testing allows developers and testers to test their apps on real devices in different countries. This makes it possible to simulate real-life usage conditions, e.g. varying network coverage, different operating system versions and local restrictions. This allows companies to ensure that their apps offer a consistent and positive user experience worldwide.
- Example: An e-commerce platform that finds that users in regions with poor network coverage are having difficulty completing orders can identify and resolve the issue by testing on real devices in those regions before customer complaints arise.
- Problem: Errors that only occur on certain devices or in specific networks are difficult to reproduce and rectify. Developers often cannot access these devices directly, which slows down the debugging process and delays the release of updates.
- Solution: Remote Device Interaction enables developers to access devices that may be located in other countries or networks directly and in real time. They can manually investigate errors, identify the cause and then automate the necessary troubleshooting steps. This significantly reduces the time needed for troubleshooting.
- Example: A development team discovers that a gesture in their app is not working as expected on certain Android devices. Remote Device Interaction allows them to investigate the problem on the affected devices, implement a solution and automate the corresponding test cases to avoid future problems of this kind.
- Problem: Telecommunications companies often need customised solutions to respond to specific operational or strategic challenges. Conventional development cycles are often too slow to respond to urgent requirements.
- Solution: 7P Accelerant’s ability to quickly develop customised solutions enables companies to respond flexibly and efficiently to new challenges. This significantly shortens the time-to-market for new products and services and enables better adaptation to changing market requirements.
- Example: A mobile phone provider needs to quickly adapt its test processes to support a new network feature. 7P Accelerant quickly develops a customised solution that comprehensively tests the feature and is ready in time for the market launch.
- Problem: In the telecoms industry, security and data protection are of paramount importance. Standardised security protocols do not always provide the necessary protection and customisation is often required to meet specific security requirements.
- Solution: Customisable security protocols such as mTLS and comprehensive certificate management enable companies to carry out their tests securely and in accordance with the relevant requirements. This protects sensitive data and ensures that all tests are carried out under secure conditions.
- Example: A telecommunications company uses customisable mTLS protocols to ensure that its network tests are carried out in a fully secured environment that meets the highest data protection requirements.
- Problem: Voice quality is crucial for customer satisfaction with VoIP services. However, varying network quality and environmental conditions can affect audio quality, leading to communication problems and customer complaints.
- Solution: With Advanced Audio Testing, which integrates tools such as OOKLA and VisQol, telecoms providers can precisely measure and optimise voice quality under different network conditions. These tests help to recognise potential quality problems at an early stage and rectify them before they have a negative impact on the customer experience.
- Example: A telecommunications provider uses VisQol to test voice quality in areas with poor network coverage. Optimising the VoIP services based on the test results ensures that customers also experience clear and intelligible voice quality in these areas.
