Belarusian Mobile Operator Deploys Operations Support System Solution

Alcatel- Lucent and Amdocs say that they have jointly deployed an integrated, end-to-end Operations Support System (OSS) solution to enable "Belorusskaya Set Telekommunikatsiy" (BeST), a mobile network operator in Belarus, to centrally manage its network inventory and assets.

In addition, the solution enables a variety of BeST divisions to view up- to-date information about their network resources. This visibility into the network allows BeST to tightly control capital expenses by viewing all aspects of its network roll out and helps BeST to utilize its assets more effectively. BeST can also minimize operational expenditures by analyzing the level of existing network resource usage to optimize network capacity. In the event of a network failure, BeST can quickly determine the impact on its entire network, helping to speed root-cause analysis and fault resolution while minimizing the impact on its customers.

"BeST was looking for a solution that would enable them to grow their business and better serve their customers by making full use of their network assets. We were proud that they selected our reliable and cost-effective approach to operations that makes it easier for network operators to optimize their resources to support growth and new services introduction," said John Meyer, president, Alcatel-Lucent's services activities. "Alcatel-Lucent's expertise in service modeling and network knowledge combined with Amdocs OSS software makes us a partner of choice for service providers deploying OSS solutions."
