  "Services such as SMS must be as profitable as possible so service providers can afford to rollout GPRS and 3G," said Andy Belcher, VP and GM of Agilent's Telecom Systems Division."As 2G networks and services reach saturation, the only way to minimize customer turnover is through improved service quality.SM-SA will help service providers protect their customer base and increase revenues from 2G services," he adds.
  
  SM-SA enables wireless service providers to deliver high QoS by capturing performance metrics for the whole service and breaking it down by national, international, corporate, and home usage.Information can also be used in setting and policing SLAs.

  The traffic patterns and flows on the network are changing much faster than they were three or five years ago , says Andy Belcher , general manager of the telecom systems division at Hewlett-Packard Co. ( South Queensferry , Scotland ).Internet traffic is fundamentally of a different structure and nature than voice traffic - the PSTN [ public switched telephone network ] is architected for the average , three-minute voice call , but with the Internet , people stay on an open line for hours at a time.The public network was just not architected for that..
  
  Local number portability ( LNP ) also has a critical impact on the network.Once a single number in any given NNX is ported , the carrier must do a database dip for every call to that NNX.LNP isn't widely used yet , but once it's implemented , it puts a significant additional pressure on the network , Belcher says.With database dips , the path of any call could end up being twice as long as it was before , which uses twice as many network resources..
  
  The increasingly competitive business market is another major driver.Emboldened by a choice of carriers , business customers are starting to require service level agreements from their carriers , and demanding rebates if the guarantees are not met.As a result , carriers are more interested in preventing any network disruptions that could end up costing them money or , ultimately , a customer.
