Ericsson’s portfolio of Mobile Operational Support Systems (OSSs) ensures operators can effectively manage their complete network.  The Ericsson domain management solution, OSS-RC, is capable of handling the broad range of applications needed to remain competitive in the mobile market.

It provides:

• A common environment for radio and core network management for the complete evolution of GSM and WCDMA technologies.
• An integrated environment for managing multimedia service applications handling services such as SMS, MMS and prepaid.
• A wide range of value-added features to improve coverage and call quality and pool management.

Emphasis is on service assurance through effective fault, performance and configuration management, while driving productivity and reducing costs.

This is achieved through key features and tools such as:

• Network optimization
• Auto-provisioning of radio base stations
• Base station re-parenting
• Advanced power management
• Geographical event analysis.

Ericsson has been in the telecom management business for over 25 years and today is the market leader in domain management solutions. Today, more than 1 billion subscribers use networks supported by Ericsson Mobile OSS.

Ericsson’s network management offering for mobile networks goes a step beyond service assurance with cutting-edge functionality to get the most out of network investments.

The emphasis is on optimizing network resources to improve performance, and maximizing airtime to increase user satisfaction and therefore secure long-term revenue.

This is an increasingly challenging task for operators, faced with constantly evolving networks that grow in complexity to provide the enriched converged and multimedia experience users demand.

OSS-RC helps remove complexity by providing an integrated environment for managing multimedia service applications.

Ericsson OSS-RC provides a single environment for both radio and core network management bringing about significant capex and opex savings.

It is based on industry standards and an open architecture, and supports both legacy and next-generation technologies (GSM, WCDMA/HSPA, and LTE).  It is easy to integrate and will evolve with the network, ensuring speedy roll out of new network  infrastructure.

The enhanced network visibility offered with all Ericsson Mobile OSS offerings combined with value-added features in OSS-RC, give operators even greater scope to identify opportunities to optimize network operation to reduce on-going costs.

Savings are also possible through pool management functionality, which greatly simplifies network configuration in GSM and WCDMA networks.
