 === Additional opportunities ===
 The use of a network monitoring device provides additional business opportunities over and above performance management. Some additional applications made possible are:
 *Billing reconciliation (via [[call detail record]] validation)
 *Fraud detection

 Unlike software-based solutions running on the base station controller, Tmonitor devices impose no additional overhead on the core network equipment. Unlike a hardware probe, Tmonitor creates no additional latency and therefore no performance hit.
