Toward Multidimensional Geographical Performance Analysis for Telecommunications Network

Management and maintenance of mobile networks is a challenging activity: key point indicators related to different dimensions need to be evaluated in order to make business decisions and/or to manage problems arising from the network and the relative impact on business. This paper presents a visual analytics solution able to geo-reference up to three key point indicators, aiming at supporting operators in charge of analyzing the mobile network, detecting possible mobile network failures and managing resulting business oriented decisions. The proposed system has been developed collaboratively by University of Rome “La Sapienza” and TIM.
