Cloud RAN Vendor Platform Health
Trigger
Active probe detects increasing call setup failures correlated with a single vDU vendor platform in three regional clusters.
Tools Required
Response at Each Autonomy Level
Engineering team correlates probe failures with vendor platform logs. Vendor ticket raised.
Traffic rerouted away from degraded vendor clusters. Vendor escalated automatically.
Automated vendor platform health scoring. SLA breach clock started. Compensation claim prepared.
Autonomous traffic management routes around failing vendor components. Vendor notified with full evidence package. Recovery validated before traffic restoration.
Economic Outcome
Subscriber impact from third-party vendor failure contained. Vendor SLA claim evidence captured.
Cloud RAN vendor SLA typically includes credits for availability breach. For a €5M annual contract with 99.99% availability SLA: each hour of breach = €570 credit. Detection speed determines credit capture.
Combination Upgrade
Add Emblasoft nScan (passive probe) to identify which subscribers were affected during the vendor platform degradation — enabling precise impact quantification for the vendor claim.
