Nokia Touts OSS Kit

HELSINKI -- Nokia launches a range of new Operations Support System tools for mobile operators as part of its Nokia NetActTM portfolio at the TeleManagement World conference (TMW). These tools combined with Nokia's expert services for operators, underline Nokia's commitment to multivendor solutions and mobile network and service management efficiency.

Specifically addressing the need for multivendor solutions, Nokia NetActTM Traffica for multi-vendor Core is a tool that offers visibility to traffic over all circuit and packet switched networks regardless of the network equipment vendor. This tool offers operators higher service quality, faster customer complaint resolution and increased visibility to subscriber and service behaviour; all in real-time.

In addition, Nokia NetActTM Intelligent Service Configurator, Nokia NetActTM Optimal Planner and Nokia NetActTM Service Optimizer highlight Nokia's commitment to efficient network operations through maximum re-use of existing resources targeting lower operating costs and speeding up the service launch.

"Operators are increasingly looking for solutions to get more from their networks. Operators are seeking ways to run their networks more efficiently - managing many technologies at once. We trust that with our operational and end-to-end mobile expertise, we can greatly support operators, enabling them to offer high quality mobile services in a cost-efficient way to their customers," says Jyrki Holmala, Vice President & General Manager, Nokia Operations Solutions, Networks, Nokia.

"This support ranges from Nokia NetAct tools to our commitment and experience in providing expert optimizing, operating, advisory, development and benchmarking services also as a managed service provider," he adds.

Nokia will also be giving demonstrations at the OSS through JavaTM initiative's stand reinforcing its dedication to the initiative and open standards.

As Nokia helps operators to get more from mobile networks and services, it can draw on its over 15-year track record of deploying and operating networks and its extensive practical experience of implementing mobile services for the operators. Nokia has contracted operating services for 19 operators globally, in addition to providing full turnkey implementations for a total of 24 operators. The NetActTM framework, the unique Nokia network and service management system, has been delivered to over 300 customers worldwide.
