1. A wireless network performance management system, comprising:
- a mobile device movable within multiple different networks, which include public and/or private networks at a same time;
at least one collection agent located within the mobile device being configured to create a network interface for each detected available network of the multiple different networks within which the mobile device is currently moving;
an adapter manager provided to create a network collector for each network interface;
wherein each network collector is configured to simultaneously collect over time data specific to its respective network interface, the data being related to at least one of service coverage;
service quality; and
usage of the public and/or private data networks for enterprise clients, wherein the mobile device is configured as a terminal node of one of the multiple different networks; and
an image producer to graphically represent the collected data from the multiple different networks to at least one of track, troubleshoot, and analyze the one of the service coverage;
the service quality; and
the usage of the public and/or private data networks for the enterprise clients.

14. A method for managing performance in a communications environment comprising multiple different networks that include public and/or private data networks, the method comprising:
-
creating network interfaces in a mobile device for each detected available network of the multiple different networks within which the mobile device located; creating a network collector for each network interface; each network collector being configured for simultaneously collecting data over time specific to its respective network interface at at least one current location of the mobile device, which is movable within the communications environment, the collected data related to at least one of service coverage;
service quality; and
usage of the public and/or private data networks for enterprise clients; andgraphically displaying the collected data from the multiple different networks at the at least one current location within the communications environment to at least one of track, troubleshoot, and analyze the one of the service coverage;
the service quality; and
the usage of the public and/or private data networks for the enterprise clients. - View Dependent Claims (15)
