NetMotion Releases Cellular Network Performance Management Software

NetMotion Wireless (News - Alert) has announced the general availability of Locality, claiming it’s the industry's first and only cellular network performance management software.


Bob Hunsberger, president and CEO at NetMotion Wireless, noted that any organization with a mobile workforce is becoming highly reliant on cellular networks, and their field employees rely on these networks to be productive in their jobs.

Yet an enormous barrier exists between IT staff and the cellular networks their employees use every day: the staff can't analyze and monitor the performance of deployed devices and applications on these networks, Hunsberger said.

“Locality delivers this insight so organizations can optimize mobile data deployments to increase employee productivity, make the right business decisions, and maximize their return on investment,” he added.

Thanks to Locality, organizations now have the visibility and insight needed to optimize their mobile data deployments. Greg Saugy, Sr. network operations specialist at Amica Insurance, said when one of their field agents tells them they're having a connection or coverage issue in the field, “we need to be able to quickly fix the situation.”

Locality's performance information helps the company get to the root of the problem fast, according to Saugy, and minimizing an employee’s downtime is essential to keeping the company’s customers happy.

This new offering from NetMotion Wireless is touted as the only cellular counterpart to a wired network performance management offering. Its detailed device, network and application reporting allow organizations to proactively identify coverage issues, troubleshoot helpdesk tickets, make performance-based buying decisions, effectively track and manage all deployed devices and more.

Company officials said Locality offers real-world data coverage maps based on field worker experiences, and generates detailed device, network and application reports and exposes poor network performance and chronic connectivity problems related to signal strength, location, network saturation, older network technologies, devices and drivers.

It also offers enhanced wireless control and management, allowing organizations to reduce wireless deployment expenditures by identifying under-utilized or unused mobile assets. Company officials said their new offering increases mobile worker productivity.

Late last year, NetMotion Wireless introduced Locality to a select group of its existing customers beginning.

NetMotion Wireless develops software to manage, secure and optimize wireless data deployments for organizations with mobile field workers. Last year, the company made the 2011 Technology Fast 500, Deloitte's (News - Alert) annual ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America.
