Network equipment operation adjustment system

Abstract

A network equipment operation adjustment system is provided herein that is configured to improve the performance of a telecommunications network by generating a network score representing the performance of a telecommunications network within a geographic region, determining one or more network equipment parameter adjustments using the network score, and causing the adjustments to occur. The network equipment operation adjustment system can further display the network score and other network scores for other geographic regions in an interactive user interface to efficiently allow a network operator to view the network performance of a telecommunications network by geographic region and/or to view how the network performance in each of the geographic regions is changing over time.
