Working with MWTM Statistics Reports
Once every hour, MWTM gathers critical information from all known network objects. MWTM then uses that information to calculate statistics, and generates reports based on those statistics.
MWTM enables you to:
•
View and export detailed RAN utilization statistics summary reports.
•
Create, view, and export custom statistics reports.
•
Change the way MWTM displays information in reports.
By default, MWTM stores all report data in the database.
Viewing RAN Backhaul Utilization Statistics Report
MWTM enables you to view the RAN Backhaul Utilization statistics report. You can also export the report.
To view the report, select RAN Backhaul Utilization from the MWTM Server Home Page.
The following table describes the additional menu options provided by the RAN Backhaul Utilization Statistics page:

The RAN Backhaul Utilization Statistics Report provides statistical data in two formats:
•
Capacity Planning Report—Summary data that is derived from the raw data and provides summaries of GSM and UMTS traffic utilization on the backhaul links. This data can be displayed on a yearly, monthly, daily, and hourly basis and can be used for capacity planning.
•
View 15 Minutes Statistics Report—Raw backhaul performance data collected in 15 minute intervals that can be displayed on a yearly, monthly, daily, or hourly basis. This data can be used for detailed analysis of traffic utilization on the backhaul links.
The RAN Backhaul Utilization Statistics Report table displays the following information:
