Operator Challenges and Requirements

Unified Management for Mobile Backhaul

Example: Cisco Mobile Backhaul Network Management


Network Management is the LinchpinHarnessing IP-NGN for Business Success

Must drive business and operational flexibility• Broad ecosystem of OSS software and integration

partners

Must lower operational and management costs• Standards, frameworks, open API’s

• Reduce integration points

Must drive top-line service revenue quickly• Tight interlock between NMS platform and

network equipment and services

• Packaged extensible software vs. custom

development

Service ManagementOperator Top Future Challenges

Convergence to IP Services, Measure End-Customer Experience

• Before: Wireline Service Management: Operator-controlled devices, operator-supplied applications

• Future: Wireless Services (2G,3G,4G): Everything going to “IP”, operator has little/no control over applications

Convergence to a 4G LTE “Wireless Broadband Data Connection”

• Integration and Automation of Business Process

• Smart Auto-Trouble Tickets, Triggered Diagnostics Tools for Mobile Operators

• One Layered Modern Management System for transition from 2# to 3G to 4G LTE (investment protection)

• One Data Collection System & Multiple Presentation Layers (converge “IP NGN network” + “Cloud-Enabled Applications”)

• Network Operations Center

• Service Operations Center

• Portal Frameworks: SP Service Managers, Customers

Cisco Network ManagementTop Service Provider Pain Points

Significant time lag in rolling out

new services

Day-to-day cost of human

errors

Lack of skilled resources to

manage services

High operational costs and time

spent diagnosing problems

Scale business through automation for configuration, change mgmt, monitoring and

diagnostics

Automated processesreduce human errors associated

with configuration, change management & diagnostics

Accelerate service introduction by supporting automated activation, configuration & monitoring of the

latest devices and services

Unified Management for Mobile BackhaulZero-Touch Deployment of Cell Site Router (CSR)

1. CSR is selected from warehouse and loaded without configuration

2. CNS ID and template for CSR is entered in the configuration engine

4. CSR powers up and calls home to the DHCP/TFTP/Configuration Engine

5. Upon authentication, configuration engine sends configuration to the CSR

6. CSR applies configuration and becomes operational

3. CSR is shipped to its deployment location
