Overview
EVOIA Assure is a VIAVI solution for monitoring and troubleshooting mission critical communications (MCx) and railway telecom networks. It is used in public safety, transportation, utilities, maritime and airport environments, where downtime or degraded service can have operational consequences. Coverage extends across MCx application services (MCPTT, MCVideo, MCData), telecom infrastructure and device interoperability.
The system provides end-to-end monitoring for tracking KPIs, validating SLAs and resolving issues before they escalate. VIAVI states support for GSM-R until 2040 and readiness for FRMCS, so the same platform covers current GSM-R operations and the migration to FRMCS.
Passive monitoring for ERTMS
EVOIA Assure combines probes, responder units, scanners and other monitoring hardware with software tools that compile, collate and analyze the collected data, plus maintenance equipment, consultancy and services. Signalling data streams from trackside and on-board units are collected in real time from a range of network and train equipment. This allows true end-to-end ERTMS transactions to be processed and analyzed across GSM-R, ETCS and interlocking (IXL) networks.
Radio and QoS KPIs
The solution traces and measures radio and quality of service indicators, from handover performance and voice group calls to transaction times and HDLC frame analysis, including real subscriber MCPTT and MCVideo MOS scores. Metrics are available in real time, with historical access for auditing, compliance and trend analysis.
Operations and network acceptance
In daily operations, EVOIA Assure helps shorten incident resolution and supports proactive maintenance. During rollouts and upgrades, it validates networks against technical KPIs (connection times, transaction success rates, handovers) and functional KPIs (location-based call routing, registration/deregistration, group call area functions) to check compliance with safety, performance and regulatory standards.
