Oi [Brazil], Orange[Spain], Zain[East Africa], ICON+ [Indonesia] Use NSN's Managed Transport Services

     

Nokia Siemens Networks unveiled its Managed Transport Services a service for management of transport networks on behalf of operators - "
Transport is traditionally the costliest part of the overall transmission network to run. Operators need to keep this operational expenditure at a minimum while maintaining Quality of Service (QoS) and coping with increased data traffic, driven by fixed and mobile broadband. Scaling and managing transport networks efficiently is a challenge due to their multi-vendor environment, and a mix of legacy and new technologies. The end-to-end approach to Managed Transport Services from Nokia Siemens Networks allows operators to maximize network capacity and optimize the operational expenditure of transport."

“The transport network contributes a significant share of the overall transmission-related operating cost, with some analysts estimating its share at up to 70% [Source: Analysis Mason, 2009]. The challenges in scaling and managing are compounded by multi-vendor, multi-generation environments,” said Ashwini Bakshi, head of global managed services at Nokia Siemens Networks. “With our Managed Transport Services, we provide a holistic approach that combines advanced transport products from our own R&D and our partner ecosystem with our world-class operations support systems and end-to-end services.”

"The delivery model balances and optimizes the mix of local and global delivery of network management and care services. The model is underpinned by standardized operations model and innovative tools that support third-party solutions. Nokia Siemens Networks has already demonstrated its managed transport services capability as part of its ongoing managed services contracts with network operators including Oi in Brazil, Orange in Spain, Zain in East Africa, and ICON+ in Indonesia."
