Operax, a leading vendor of Network Service Quality control solutions, has further extended the agreement with the Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA), with additional licences for Operax Resource Manager, to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) and manage bandwidth in its growing tactical communications networks.
In operational deployment for more than three years, Operax Resource Manager controls and manages available bandwidth in the RNLA’s TITAAN (Theatre Independent Tactical Army and Airforce Network) . The solution takes the full advantage of Operax multi-service capabilities to utilize all means of communication, such as VoIP, Video conferencing, and wireless communication via TETRA mobile phones and satellite.
Richard Lowe, CEO Operax, stated: “This is further acknowledgement of the value the Operax Resource Manager delivers and I am very happy that the RNLA has expanded our contract and chosen to grow with us. TITAAN is one of the most advanced communication systems for Network Centric Warfare and this proves Operax products as a leading solution in managing scarce resources in mission-critical military networks.”
TITAAN is a central system in the RNLA’s migration to Network Centric Warfare (NCW), with focus on making information available to all troops in real time over an all-IP network. TITAAN is largely built upon Commercial Off The Shelf products and with its cutting edge technology, RNLA has been recognised as world leader in deployed NCW solutions. The TITAAN system is integrated and delivered by the RNLA’s C2 (Command and Control) Support Center . The C2 Support Center is the internal systems integration unit of the RNLA for C2 applications.
Lt. Colonel Andre Poot, of the RNLA’s C2 Support Center, commented: ”Resource Manager is an important component in our Next-Generation Communications Network. Thanks to the robustness and reliability in the product, as well as Operax ability and responsiveness in support, we feel very confident in the continued use of OPERAX in TITAAN.
A key ingredient in the transformation of defense organizations towards NCW is the emphasis on collaboration and tactical decisions. This calls for communications networks enabling real-time access to information and uninterrupted communication capabilities. By implementing standards-based IP communications systems, defense organizations are able to adapt their communications network to evolving needs and simultaneous operations on multiple battle scenes.
Operax Resource Manager provides dynamic Call and Session Admission Control for guaranteed end-to-end communications QoS in systems for NCW. Operax technology – with its real-time awareness of network topologies, support of nomadic network elements and users, and its ability to react immediately to changes in bandwidth allocation policies – suits the needs of the new generation of joint international forces working with multimedia communication in a network-centric fashion. Operax multi-vendor, multi-application and multi-technology characteristics promote maximized flexibility and long-term cost efficiency.

Sonus Networks (Nasdaq: SONS), a leading supplier of service provider Voice over IP (VoIP) infrastructure solutions, and Operax, a leading vendor of Network Service Quality control solutions, has announced at NXTcomm 2007, one of North America’s largest communications industry trade shows, that they have entered into a non-exclusive partnership.
As network operators look to leverage broadband as a service delivery vehicle for advanced applications such as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-based services and services that integrate voice, video and data, the joint solution facilitates faster service creation and superior service quality, essential to protecting the consumer experience. In addition, the ability to create and provision these new services effectively helps network operators realize new revenue streams through enhanced control of their network resources.
“Broadband is a revolutionizing force in the communications industry as it provides a platform on which network operators can deliver services that change the way people communicate,” said Vikram Saksena, chief technology officer, Sonus Networks. “Sonus Networks is focused helping network operators maximize this opportunity by building out its next generation networking ecosystem through innovation across its solutions as well as on the integration of the industry’s best third party products, such as the service quality-control solutions from Operax.”
“We are proud to work with Sonus, a leading player in the next generation voice market. Operax has pioneered the development of standards-compliant Quality of Service solutions designed specifically to ensure the highest level of reliability and performance in multi-vendor networks,” said Roberto Kauffmann-Dev, Operax Solutions Alliances Director. “Operax Bandwidth Management products key strength is to ensure sufficient end-to-end resources are reserved for all types of services and sessions across all components of the IP network. The combined Operax and Sonus solution is a robust platform for today’s most demanding network operators that are looking to benefit from standards-based, cost-effective technologies for their non-IMS, pre-IMS and IMS network infrastructure.”
As a result of the partnership, network operators will be able to seamlessly deploy Sonus’ Network Border Switch (NBS) in combination with Operax Bandwidth Management products for resource and policy-based admission control (RACS), resulting in a TISPAN-compliant Border Gateway Function (BGF). The BGF provides control of media resources, such as voice and video, by providing services such as metering, policing, marking and gate control.
