Network management systems for overseas solutions
Steve Pelosi · Fujitsu Scientific and Technical Journal · 2006
The deployment and management of large-scale networks entail complex tasks that require careful initial planning and ongoing operations support. Meanwhile, telecommunications carriers are reducing staff as part of their response to increased pressure being applied by intensified competition and more competitive pricing. More than ever before, it is essential that telecommunications equipment suppliers provide complete management solutions for their products. Such solutions should include the Element/Network Management System (EMS), craft Interface, and Network Design & Planning Tools. A flexible strategy is needed to integrate the EMS with upper-layer OSS applications that may already be deployed by the carriers.
