NTT DOCOMO selects NEC for Operations Support Systems
www.WirelessFederation.com/news: NEC Corporation (NEC) has been selected by NTT DOCOMO to provide Operations Support Systems (OSS) to the company. The system will be deployed by one of NEC’s United States-based subsidiaries, NetCracker Technology Corp.
DOCOMO is constructing IP networks to launch its commercial Long Term Evolution (LTE) services in 2010. Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) network that links core networks and base stations will be managed by OSS. WDM also controls communication equipment, including L2 switches in LTE networks.
Even the multi-vendor networks can benefit from WDM network path design capabilities as the system improves the quality and efficiency of network design, leading to the reduction of CAPEX and construction of optimized networks for LTE.
DOCOMO’s high evaluation of NetCracker’s OSS product portfolio resulted in NEC’s selection as a part of the project. Besides, NEC’s extensive know-how and delivery record for DOCOMO also encouraged the decision.
