Network Integration and Acceptance Testing Services
Telecommunication networks today are a complex combination of sub-systems
(RAN, Core), often from different vendors. Selecting the appropriate sub-systems
and the vendor best suited to deliver the solution is a formidable task.
Inevitably, an eco-system of vendors is chosen to deliver the different
sub-systems in the network.
The challenges to this approach are many – solutions are developed in silos
which add to the complexity and cost of ensuring integration and seamless
inter-working among different subsystems; not to mention the arduous task of
isolating, tracing and resolving end-customer service failures during
pre-launch.
Aricent, with a strong track record in telecommunication technologies (GSM,
EDGE, UMTS, CDMA, IMS/NGN, WIMAX, LTE, Femtocells) and deep domain
expertise in different network sub-systems (RAN; Core – Circuit, Packet, IP;
Transport – SDH/PDH, Ethernet, DSL; VAS; OSS; BSS) is the ideal System
Integration partner to address these challenges in a cost-effective manner.
