PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 12, 2012 - Prague, Czech Republic, September  12, 2012 - Astellia, a leading provider of monitoring solutions for the optimization of mobile network QoS and QoE, has been selected by Vodafone Czech Republic as a main partner for testing and maximizing its network performance in the context of its 3-year equipment swap project. The contract will enable Vodafone to ensure fast and successful replacement of more than 40 BSCs in its 2G network and deliver the highest customer experience to its subscribers.

In the near future, we will most certainly call on their expertise for our 3G network monitoring.” said Slavomír Slanina, RAN Manager at Vodafone Czech Republic.
