Plans for integration of KTF´s legacy network management systems

Due to the rapid change in the mobile business environment and a variety of services, KTF has several network management systems. Each network management system has been specialized for each network such as NetCommander for 2G/3G (cdma2000) core, access and some supplementary networks, NexPlorer for 2G/3G IP network and iManager for 3G (W-CDMA) networks. However, market situations push operators to reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX). With these several network management systems, we think that we can not meet the time-to-market and reduce the operational expenditure (OPEX) due to a variety of interfaces to handle and a variety of vendor products to manage. In this presentation, the author talks about the plans for the integration of KTF´s legacy network management systems. We plan to reassign the roles of our network management systems and unify the interfaces between network management system and EMS/agent. With these plans, we are going to implement a unified network management system and cut the operational costs.
