According to The Middle East and North Africa telecoms market: trends and forecasts 2012–2017 by Analysys Mason, telecoms retail revenue in the region will increase from USD 70.3 billion in 2011 to more than USD 96.3 billion by 2017. Mobile network operators worldwide face huge data traffic growth and increasing complexity of a multi-vendor, multi-generation network, but need to handle the growth in a much more efficient manner than previously. They are looking for a way to solve network issues with high geographical resolution and accuracy based on subscribers’ actual user experience. The ability to differentiate indoor issues from outdoors is especially important for network optimization and troubleshooting because the majority of data traffic happens indoor, while conventional approaches such as drive test are more applicable to identify outdoor issues. In many countries, complaints about indoor usage amount to approximately 80% of customers’ complaints about network quality, therefore geolocation with indoor capability is becoming a key element in the overall Customer Experience Management program of mobile network operators.
