KanTerra and LCC Team to Help Wireless Carriers Improve Service, Reduce Costs and Mitigate Risk
The KanTerra Network Operations and Wireless Suite™ (KNOWS™) Platform Provides Complete Wireless Network Monitoring, Management and Resolution Capabilities
San Ramon, California—October 15, 2008—KanTerra™
This teaming agreement positions LCC and KanTerra to work exhaustively beside their carrier customers to ensure that each network gets designed, built and managed to a rigorous standard and set of specifications. LCC’s extensive engineering, consulting and best practices capabilities coupled with KanTerra’s industry leading technologies, methodologies and expertise provide a winning combination for carriers seeking to build the top line while managing dramatic reductions in cost to help the bottom line.
The Design for Manageability (DFM) approach that KanTerra and LCC are prepared to deliver, along with additional technologies and methodologies for managing the network once it is deployed, will position their customers to potentially emerge as leaders in the wireless market, unencumbered by legacy systems. With a clean slate and the ability to ‘do it right the first time’ these carrier customers will be able to offer more services at a higher quality and a lower cost than their competitors.
“Carriers need at least one true partner standing by them, side by side, with a long term perspective and a stake in ensuring that the hardware, site selection, engineering and other third party vendors all perform as expected in order to guarantee the long term manageability and success of the network. KanTerra does this unlike any other company in the industry,” said Tim Courtney, Vice President, America’s Sales and Strategy for LCC. “At the end of the day, each carrier wants to have a team member like KanTerra engaged from the outset to help ensure the Design For Manageability (DFM) of the network, as this will be the key metric against which their own subscribers will ultimately assess the effectiveness and efficacy of the carrier’s offering.”
“Improperly managed network operations can result in huge cost overruns and in dramatic unexpected side effects – such as downtime, rollbacks, customer churn, increased complexity and lost revenue that can cost tens of millions of dollars annually in repair and rework,” said Earle Davis, President and CEO of KanTerra Networks. “With such a complex environment, carriers need the type of robust capabilities provided by KanTerra and LCC to monitor the network, manage operations, including break fix and repair, prioritize change, visualize change scenarios, and predict the impact of “to-be” pro-forma states which will typically return tens of millions of dollars annually in reduced downtime, lower support costs and dramatically lower customer churn.”
