Abstract: A capacitor component includes a body, including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode layer, and an external electrode disposed on the body and connected to the internal electrode layer. At least one hole is formed in the internal electrode layer, and a region, containing at least one selected from the group consisting of indium (In) and tin (Sn), is disposed in the hole. A method of manufacturing a capacitor component includes forming a dielectric green sheet, forming a conductive thin film, including a first conductive material and a second conductive material, on the dielectric green sheet, and sintering the conductive thin film to form an internal electrode layer. The internal electrode layer includes the first conductive material, and a region, including the second conductive material, is formed in the internal electrode layer.

Abstract: A method for vendor-agnostic processing of data for monitoring a real-time operational status of a telecommunications network includes routing cell site status indications from a broker node to an in-memory processing engine. The cell site status indications are based on parameter data. A first application of the in-memory processing engine generates unique identifiers that associate each cell site status indication to a particular cell site identification code and generate feedback for the broker node including modified cell site status indications including the unique identifiers. The broker node forwards the modified cell site status indications to a second application of the in-memory processing. The second application processes the modified broker messages to extract the second parameter data from the modified cell site status indications. The in-memory processing engine generates a dataset including the second parameter data associated with the unique identifiers by the in-memory processing engine.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for improved monitoring of cellular sites. The method includes identifying a base station of the one or more base stations. The base station has a base station status that is a down status and, based on the down status, the method includes identifying whether a connection is functioning between a mediation server associated with the base station and an operational support system (OSS) associated with an OSS database. The method includes determining whether the base station is connected to the mediation server and, when the base station is connected to the mediation server and the connection is functioning between the mediation server and the OSS, updating the base station status to be an up status.

Abstract: System and methods for managing and tracking hardware assets for a telecommunications network. A set of hardware asset records is maintained in a database table, each hardware asset record corresponding to a hardware asset of a telecommunications service provider. To update hardware asset records, a set of hardware asset objects is received from one or more operations support systems (OSSs) of the telecommunications service provider. Parameters are extracted from the hardware asset objects and compared to parameters in the hardware asset records. When a changed parameter is identified, the hardware asset record is updated to reflect the changed parameter.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for improved monitoring of cellular sites. The method includes identifying a first base station of one or more base stations, where the first base station has a base station status that is a down status. The method includes determining that a connection failure alarm for the first base station has not been triggered. Based on the determination that the connection failure alarm for the first base station has not been triggered, the method includes determining that the first base station is connected to a mediation server associated with the first base station. Based on the determination that the first base station is connected to the mediation server, the method includes updating the base station status for the first base station to be an up status.

Abstract: A method for improving monitoring of cellular sites including receiving base station status for one or more base stations. If a first base station has a down status, the method includes identifying a connection failure with a mediation server associated with the first base station, identifying a neighbor base station to the first base station, determining that the neighbor base station includes recent performance management data associated with the first base station, and determining that the first base station is connected to the mediation server. Based on the determination that the first base station is connected to the mediation server, the method includes updating the base station status for the first base station to be an up status.
