A method that provides improved element outage monitoring in a wireless telecommunication system comprises obtaining data indicating a state of the element in the wireless telecommunication system and outputting a status to a display if the state comprises a first condition. The first condition may comprise at least one sector of a base transceiver station (BTS) being non-operational. In addition, the display may be located in a Network Operation Center (NOC) or a Customer Service Center (CSC) placed on a wall in plain view of a network operator or a customer service representative.
