Infonetics: As Operators Strive for "Zero Touch Networks," Optimization/Self-Organizing Market GrowsCAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 2013 Self-Organizing Networks (SON) and Optimization Software report, which tracks SON software by generation (3G, 4G) and by architecture (centralized, distributed) as well as 2G and 3G optimization software for the mobile network optimization market. ANALYST NOTE "Self-organizing networks (SON) remain baked in LTE (News - Alert), but as an evolutionary 3GGP technology, SON will continue to evolve, offering more and more advanced features. So deploying SON for 3G optimization - with the zero-touch network as the long-term goal - is something that's natural and logical for many operators," notes Stéphane Téral, principal analyst for mobile infrastructure and carrier economics at Infonetics Research. Téral adds: "There is at least one cumbersome task, however, that can't be easily automated and will require human intervention for quite a long time: drive testing. Our discussions with large mobile operators confirm there's no way to replace today's rudimentary technique of having a crew cruising a neighborhood in a truck to measure what's going on."
