Ericsson has a complete offering for operators wanting to gain total control of their wireline networks to increase efficiency, improve service performance and bring down costs.

The Wireline OSS portfolio, based on OSS-RC and MN-OSS, supports Ericsson’s wireline technologies including the IP Multimedia Telephony (IMT) and Telephony Softswitch Solution (TSS) offerings, while ServiceOn Data is a carrier-class network management system for Ericsson multiservice switches.

All the Ericsson offerings include support of open single-point interfaces towards higher level management systems (NMS).

Ericsson Wireline OSS provides off-the-shelf operational support that includes:

• Support for converged network solutions
• Open northbound interfaces
• Automated operational processes
• Network configuration tools to automate support and coordinate the configuration between network elements
• Alarm correlation and filtering

The Ericsson Wireline OSS offering provides both the built-in redundancy and high-level security required to protect network operation, and the operator’s reputation, brand and revenue.

To protect against malicious attacks, from both inside the network and external hackers, Ericsson systems include several layers of security and firewalls for both northbound and southbound interfaces.  Similarly, built-in redundancy for both the and Telephony Servers secures ongoing operation against failures, natural disasters and other threats. 

With better control over the network, operators can take the right steps to increase network efficiency while improving service performance and therefore user satisfaction.

Ericsson’s approach to network management covers both automation of processes and support, to drive efficiency, and smart alarm monitoring and reporting to establish and quickly resolve the root cause of any problem.

By providing strong visibility throughout the entire network, Ericsson’s Wireline OSS portfolio ensures operators are aware of service outages or if service quality is being degraded, so they can quickly rectify the situation. This total approach focuses on providing the right quality of service to create profitable, long-term business.

Based on standard and open interfaces, and designed to operate with all Ericson’s wireline technologies, Ericsson’s OSS offerings can be quickly implemented and integrated into existing networks to provide effective operation from day one.As a leading provider of both packet and circuit-switched networks, Ericsson’s systems have been developed to work efficiently in today’s converged networks and support the latest all-IP and next-generation infrastructures.
