NetCracker NIOSS solution

Drivers

• Project Goals • Inventory provisioning for the exploding customer base

• Centralize data • Different macro regions

• Heterogeneous networks

• Heterogeneous systems

• NetCracker’s Role • Core platform covering 80 regions across the entire Russian Federation

• Problems before project • No centralized inventory system on macro region and corporate level

• Each department track inventory data in separate source

• Low data accuracy

• Data gathering and preparation for reports and technical solutions takes a long time

• No tool for link data about resources of radio, transmission and core subsystem.

Best Practices for Selection Process

• Architecture and flexibility are key criteria to evaluate as well as the product

needs to grow with changes in your company

• A good product is only part of a good selection process – you should also

evaluate ability to deliver. How many times has the vendor or vendor/SI

delivered similar software? Are the core product experts going to be

involved in your project?

• Integration is another key element of an evaluation – may consider doing

integration scenarios in the PoC.

Automated Control of the Site Rollout

• NIOSS provides the following capabilities: • Documentation and inventory of the BSS object construction

• Creation of construction checklists

• Construction report generation

• Based on the created construction checklists, a user can

form consolidated reports to calculate integral rates on the

execution of construction plans: • Work status of putting base station (BS) into test operation mode

• Work status of site construction (GSM/DCS and UMTS)

• BS annual enabling plan

• BS construction status table

• Antenna support construction status table

• Construction plan execution KPI calculation (quarterly, monthly)

• 15 Reconciliation NMS/EMS

• Motorola OMCR

• Alcatel Lucent 1353/1354NM

• Siemens RC

• Siemens SC

• Lucent AqueView

• Alcatel Lucent 5620NM

• Huawei T2000

• Ericsson OSS

• Ericsson MiniLink Manager

• Alcatel A1353RA

• Huawei M2000

• Nokia Siemens NetAct

• FiberBase

• Ericsson Core

• Nokia Siemens Core

• Integrations • Remedy – trouble ticketing

• MAP Info – GIS map

• LDAP – users

• MIS, SAS Corporate Reporting

• NGSA

• RDB • external reporting

Integrations

Solution Dimensioning

• Number of objects:

• 46.000 of site locations

• 90.000 of network elements

• 115.000.000 of objects

• Users

• 6500 named at total

• 200 concurrent users

• 650 named users logged

per day

• Distributed deployment

architecture between macro-

regions.
