Formerly provided by legacy Private Mobile Radio network technologies (TETRA/P25, GSM-R...), Mission Critical features such as push-to-talk (MPTT), group calls, video (MCVideo) and audio broadcasting, functional numbering (aliases) are now supported by standards over LTE and 5G networks. However, the technical complexity and multiplayer environment (e.g., core network provider, critical service provider, and sometimes radio optimization) require an independent solution to monitor and investigate the network service and performance and ensure interoperability between components.
By providing end-to-end visibility on the quality of service and network performance, and by offering an open and fully customizable solution to fit the customers’ needs, VIAVI Solutions supports Critical Network Operators during all the network stages: deployment, qualification, acceptance and operation.
Our EVOIA solutions also enables smooth migration from legacy to newer technologies.
The EVOIA solutions make it easy to monitor your mission critical communications networks, radios and data throughput.
By providing end-to-end visibility on the quality of service and network performance, the EVOIA portfolio supports Critical Network Operators during all the network stages: deployment, qualification, acceptance and operation. Our solution also enables smooth migration from legacy to newer technologies.
By recording data over several years, our solutions can be used during legal investigations and prove that every critical network communication element behaved properly, and that communication was established between participants during a critical event.

Modern rail, signalling, telecom and interlocking systems are complex technical environments. That’s why it’s essential to test, measure & monitor these networks, to ensure they are fully optimized at all stages of the life cycle.
VIAVI offers solutions to ensure compliance with the various standards required, from network rollout to daily operations. Our products answer the needs of network engineers, field technicians, managers, analysts and network operations centers.
These solutions enable operators, such as telecoms and signalling engineers, to effectively and efficiently deploy, test measure, analyze and monitor rail telecoms, signalling and interlocking networks. This includes monitoring, troubleshooting and optimization, and covers all railway telecommunication and signalling networks and domains, such as FRMCS, GSM-R, GPRS and ETCS.
For example, network engineers, field technicians, managers, analysts and network operations centers, use our solutions during a network rollout to ensure compliance with various key industry standards, and also for ongoing service assurance during daily operations.
VIAVI aims to answer the needs of anyone responsible for railway telecoms network signalling systems and other mission critical operators.
Improved safety, increased productivity and better voice, video and data communications throughout the site, are just three key reasons why mining operators value mission critical networks.
That’s because private networks enable greater connectivity, which bring other benefits too. For example, when drones remotely assess earthworks, it keeps workers safer. And using the network to deploy automated vehicles, offers new ways to address shortages in vital skills and labor.

Increased productivity, improved safety, and better voice, video and data communications throughout the site, are just three key reasons why port operators value mission critical networks.
That’s because private 4G and 5G networks bring new benefits and opportunities. For example, greater connectivity enables greater automation, helping to improve productivity and worker safety.
And making it easy for ships to connect to the network, when entering the port, can also increase their revenue too.

Emergency services depend on fast, secure, and effective communication.
Existing emergency services’ TETRA/P25 networks are now being replaced with advanced private 4G- and 5G-based mission critical networks (MCx), to provide greater benefits to public safety.
Using MCx, enables the Police, Fire, Ambulance and other emergency services to exchange high-quality voice, video and data, in real-time. This means they can provide their vital services even more efficiently and effectively.

For those responsible for or working with multiple sites or users, , we offer a multi-tenancy option with EVOIA. This makes it easy to maximise the value from EVOIA licences.
This is useful for operators, such as such as Port Authorities , responsible for more than one port, for example.
This multi-tenancy approach enables a Management team, for example, to access all data and networks, while ensuring that local teams only have access to information for their local systems.
The same can apply to a private network that allows different on-site suppliers or customers. Multi-tenancy can enable all user types the capability to enjoy the benefits of the same private network, yet only access data from their own operations.
