MWC 2014: NSN to add telecom industry’s first virtualized OSS

Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN) today announced the telecom industry’s first virtualized OSS (Operations Support System).

NSN said NetAct 8 can be leveraged by telecom operators to change the configuration of up to 10,000 base stations automatically in a few minutes.

NetAct 8 enables telecoms to maintain high network availability and secure key network operations, said NSN.

This is not a new solution and it is an enhancement to the current OSS.

If there are unexpected spikes in demand or in the unlikely event that a Network Operations Center (NOC) goes down, mobile operators will also now get automatic, real-time prioritization of network issues based on subscriber impact.

The automatic activation of all NetAct applications and content in a new location ensures uninterrupted network and service operations without the cost to operators of building and maintaining a permanent back-up NOC if situation damages a Network Operations Centre (NOC). This ensures uninterrupted network and service operations without the cost to operators of building and maintaining a permanent back-up NOC.

Enhancements to NSN’s Serve at Once Traffica product allow operators to see immediately how many subscribers are affected by a network problem and list them in order of the scale of impact. Resources can thus be efficiently focused to resolve the issue and minimize the impact.

Performance Manager complements the Traffica solution with network performance trend information to understand typical capacity utilization of the area. Combining useful alarm prioritization with trending information, operators can achieve more efficient customer–centric operations.

Peter Patomella, vice president for CEM and OSS at NSN. “To help operators upgrade to NetAct 8, the NSN Services team provides full support to ensure a smooth transition is made to a virtualized OSS.”

NSN speeds up the integration of multivendor networks through the newly signed OSS interoperability agreement.
