Alcatel-Lucent 1300 Convergent Network Management Center OPEX REDUCTION THROUGH INTEGRATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT
The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 Convergent Network Management Center (CMC) provides cost-effective integrated network management for next generation networks (NGNs), fixed IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) networks, public switched telephone networks (PSTNs), signaling networks - and any combination of these. It provides an easy upgrade from PSTN to NGN/IMS.
Integrated Network Management Today and Tomorrow As PSTNs evolve, service providers are faced with the challenge of managing NGNs, IMS networks and signaling networks. Network management solutions must be flexible and cost-effective. They must enable new revenuegenerating services, allow for future growth, improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. It’s a tall order.
Figure 1 shows the overall scope of the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC network management capabilities. Open operations support system (OSS) interfaces based on the enhanced Telcom Operating Map (eTOM) model provide maximum flexibility in a multivendor environment. In addition, the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC can be tailored to each customer’s needs for access rights, profiles and alarm and event routing.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC Value Proposition In today’s highly competitive and fast-moving telecom landscape, each step in migration to IMS must generate value immediately. The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides immediate benefits in CAPEX and OPEX savings.
KEY FEATURES The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides integrated network management from one terminal, as shown in Figure 2.
Intelligent Interfaces for Cost-Effective Management INTUITIVE GUI The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides an intuitive GUI for simple network management. An animated network map displays the equipment and enables the operator to navigate easily through all configuration and maintenance functions. For ease of monitoring and management, alarms from all relevant equipment are conveniently displayed in one alarm list; centralized alarm management helps to increase network availability.
A Complete Value Proposition The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC supports the management of fixed networks and enables service providers to migrate their subscribers from PSTN to NGN/IMS networks. It ensures minimum service downtime for customers and requires no modification of existing dialing plan and subscriber domain names; subscriber profiles and services can be kept. The process is efficient, safe and secure, and results in a short migration phase.
