This paper investigates GSM traffic performance. It is a case study of one of the leading GSM operators in Nigeria. In this work, efforts were made to assess traffic performance of the network using operational parameters such as network failure, call drop and capacity utilization. Physical measurements of call events on a specific base transceiver station (BTS) were carried out for a period of three (3) days. Results were taken and recorded accordingly. Thereafter, the traffic flow was simulated at the interface with the main switching center (M.S.C). Results from simulation were considered secondary data and this was compared with the initial data recorded. Our findings obtained from this work has highlighted the main causes of incessant failures, imperfection in GSM network and ways to correct these problems for better network operational efficiencies.
