In a significant advancement for telecommunications infrastructure management, A1 Hrvatska, in collaboration with Bulb Technologies, has successfully deployed a cutting-edge Proactive Network Maintenance (PNM) system. The implementation, completed in October 2024 represents a paradigm shift in how network maintenance and customer service are approached in the telecommunications sector.
Transformative Impact on Network Operations
The implementation has yielded impressive operational improvements:
- 24% reduction in HFC technology-related customer support calls
- 20% decrease in field service visits
- 5% reduction on Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) replacements
- Significant improvement in customer satisfaction metrics (NPS)
Innovation in Proactive Network Management
The newly implemented Proactive Network Maintenance system has transformed A1 Hrvatska’s network operations through sophisticated automation and predictive analytics. The system has demonstrated remarkable efficiency in identifying and resolving network issues before they significantly impact customer experience.
Advanced Capabilities
The system’s comprehensive technical capabilities include:
- Full Band Spectrum analysis for detailed network diagnostics
- Pre-equalization data analysis for precise fault identification
- Integration with existing OSS/BSS systems
- Mobile application support for field technicians
- Real-time KPI monitoring and performance analytics
- Mobile application for field technicians with automated dispatching
Field Operations Enhancement
Field operations have been particularly revolutionized through the introduction of a purpose-built mobile application that equips technicians with real-time access to network performance data and diagnostic tools. This mobile solution has been instrumental in achieving a remarkable 91% first-time resolution rate for identified issues, significantly improving operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Proactive Network Maintenance Architecture
The system’s architecture emphasizes proactive maintenance through automated fault detection and diagnosis, enabling precise location identification for technical interventions. This capability has led to more streamlined dispatch of field technicians and faster resolution of potential service degradation. The implementation includes a sophisticated reporting engine that facilitates accelerated root cause analysis, providing customized visibility into network performance from regional to individual modem levels.
Customer Service Excellence
Customer service has seen substantial improvements, with the system’s ability to predict and address potential issues before they affect service quality. The PNM system’s sophisticated monitoring capabilities extend to various network parameters, including upstream and downstream signal quality, micro-reflections, and group faults. This comprehensive approach to network management enables A1 Croatia to maintain higher service quality standards while optimizing operational resources and reducing unnecessary field interventions.
About the Partnership
The success of this implementation stems from the strong partnership between A1 Hrvatska and Bulb Technologies, combining A1 Hrvatska’s telecommunications expertise with Bulb’s innovative software solutions. Looking ahead, this implementation positions A1 Hrvatska at the forefront of telecommunications network management, with a robust foundation for future innovations in service delivery and customer support. The success of this project demonstrates the significant benefits of investing in proactive network maintenance technologies and sets a new standard for telecommunications infrastructure management.
