Dittberner's Examination of Nokia's OSS Middleware Proposal: Should Network Equipment Providers Support a Multi-Vendor OSS Frame?

Tags: mobile networks, middleware, network, management

Overview The high cost of OSS integration OPEX can no longer be ignored. Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) have their own reasons for making integration a priority: fixed and mobile networks are converging, new Asian NEPs are getting stronger, and networks are becoming enormously complex. To respond, NEPs realize they must move to more flexible industry-standard middleware architectures, but they hesitate to migrate because IT middleware offers nothing to ease the task of network adaptation and testing. Nokia has therefore proposed "OSS middleware", an OEM solution that adds network topology, inventory, configuration, fault, and performance management building blocks to an IT middleware foundation.
