ZaraCom to Begin Research Cooperation with Taiwan’s National Institute

ZaraCom and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), a national-level R&D organization in Taiwan, recently announced their plan to deepen cooperation through co-researching at ITRI’s M-Taiwan WiMAX Applications Lab (MTWAL). The co-researching opportunity will be an integration of ITRI’s experiences from long-term studies on application testing cases and ZaraCom’s unique AI-based solutions for network performance management. MTWAL, one of the few WiMAX forum application labs in the world, provides a centralized monitor/analysis application field trial lab and makes it possible to provide application vendors with performance and user behavior data as reference information for future commercial operation.

As a kick-off to the new cooperation, ITRI invited ZaraCom to participate in this year’s MTWAL Open House on June 3rd and 4th. Through a powerful combination of several modules, ZaraCom provided live demonstrations of direct collection and processing of raw data from the ASNGateway. ZaraCom engineers were able to prove the ability to make accurate forecasts of network conditions with the immediate display of statistical analysis in user-friendly graphical charts. In addition, the demonstrations revealed that conventional performance management system is insufficient for the “all-IP” architecture of WiMAX and analyzed application profile for better managing transport network and equipment.
