PTA has decided to secure automated Quality of Service (QoS)
monitoring and benchmarking system to benchmark voice, SMS, and data QoS Key
Performance Indicator PTA QoS.
The system will have data collection and data analysis modules
and related services incidental to benchmark
These both voice, SMS, and data QoS KPIs for at least five operators simultaneously and will have the capability to expand to include more operators if required PTA QoS.
Further, it would require measuring all the QoS KPIs. Both
data collection and data analysis units should support all the technologies
including but not limited to Global System for Mobile (GSM) Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA)/ Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
(WCDMA)/High-Speed Download Packet Access (HSDPA)/High-Speed Upload Packet
Access (HSUPA)/High-Speed Packet Access+ (HSPA+)/ Long Term Evolution (LTE)/
Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE)/ Long Term Evolution Advance
(LTE-Advance) etc. (i.e. 2nd, 3rd & 4th generation wireless technologies)
in all bands/spectrum, carrier aggregation in contiguous/non-contiguous
bands/technologies and should also be capable to test 5G technologies.
The system would have to bear the specifications including
the capacity to test and benchmark QoS across a number of mobile operators
(i.e. continuous measurement of at least five mobile networks), with the
objective to reproduce end-user experience in different mobile networks, device
types, and wireless technologies (2G/3G/4G) operational in Pakistan including
AJK Azad Kashmir & GB.
It should have the capability to perform field tests,
measure, benchmark, and report QoS Key Advance Indicators (KPIs) as defined in
mobile services licensees issued from time to time to Cellular Mobile Operators
(CMOs) in Pakistan, PTA service quality regulation (Cellular Mobile Network
Quality of Service (QoS) Regulations 2022).
