Empirix Acquires Verios for Mobile Analytics

Empirix has acquired Verios Software & Systems, a privately-held company specializing in real-time analytics, for an undisclosed sum.

Based in Dublin, Ireland, Verios takes a “Big Data” analytic approach to managing the increasingly complex radio access network environment. Unlike conventional radio access network management solutions that only sample customer segments, the Verios Vision Platform is designed to provide customer-level detail in high-volume distributed networks in real time. The company was founded in 2009 by Gerard Carroll, Mike Manchip and David O’Loghlin.

Empirix said it plans to integrate the Verios solution with its own analytical, troubleshooting, monitoring and management capabilities to give wireless providers unprecedented capabilities for managing their networks from their customers’ perspectives.

“The radio access network is a vital, expensive and often unpredictable link in the mobile network. Verios provides insight that enables network operators to enhance service levels and predictability of service for their customers,” said Empirix CEO John D’Anna. “Verios’ solution provides complete visibility into radio access network operations, down to the individual user. Integrating that functionality into our IntelliSight platform will enable wireless providers to know exactly what their customers are experiencing, when and where. At the strategic level, that intelligence will help providers target their investments at the areas most likely to yield more revenue.”

“Empirix and Verios have complementary visions of service performance management and how to help providers deliver outstanding customer experiences,” said Verios Founder and CEO Gerard Carroll. “Unifying our respective approaches to SOC – Empirix across the core network and Verios across the radio access network – will give providers immediate, detailed insight for responding to their most lucrative customer segments’ needs.
