MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Iskratel’s SI3000 MNS is the basis for building various customized management solutions for demanding operators and service providers. Besides ready-to-use turn-key solutions the system offers standard open interfaces that are suitable for integration into existing business environments. The system is not just limited to the integration of Iskratel’s equipment. Its modular architecture also allows the building of management solutions by integrating thirdparty equipment. A typical, but not exhaustive, list of Iskratel’s management solutions would include: Performance and QoS monitoring, Service provisioning and Alarm monitoring.

Iskratel management solutions are designed in a way to serve customer business processes and to hide the complexity of managed solutions in telecommunications network. A futureproof architecture guarantees a long exploitation period.

Performance and QoS Monitoring

Effective service provisioning needs to be flexible and tightly integrated into the customer’s business environment. It requires fast actions, while introducing new, and managing existing, services.

Iskratel maintains standard open interfaces for voice, access network and CPE, which are not just limited to Iskratel’s equipment.

Besides these interfaces, Iskratel provides a service provisioning web portal and ready-made widgets based on modern Web 2.0 technologies. The functionalities offer support for residential users (e.g., self-provisioning, call log), business users (e.g., virtual PBX) and operator help desk (e.g., line testing).

Unified integration into OSS/BSS

Voice-Services Provisioning Nowadays, voice services are accessible over different devices and applications, using a broadband access network, internet capabilities and traditional telecommunications networks. Iskratel’s voice-service provisioning enables the simple integration of a NGN, IMS or existing legacy switching network into a common provisioning system. Service providers are able to optimize the provisioning processes in heterogeneous networks and will migrate their subscribers towards new advanced services more quickly.

Highlights: • Real-time monitoring and drill-down reports by location, time or content scale, • Real-time threshold-crossing performance analysis and alarm reporting, • Trend analyses by KPI / KQI and according to customer requests, • Post-analysis of performance data, • Predefined and ad-hoc reports that provide time analyses and comparative reports, stored in various standard formats and distributed by e-mail, • Monitoring the quality of experience from the subscriber’s point of view to guarantee customer satisfaction.

Service Provisioning

Iskratel offers unified interfaces for all telecommunications technologies based on a modern service-oriented architecture (SOAP/XML). The SI3000 MNS hides the specifics of integrated third-party network elements and exposes them to external OSS/BSS systems in the same way as Iskratel’s equipment.

New telecommunications technologies are increasing the competition for end users among operators. Consequently, more services are offered to attract new users and to reduce churn. Performance and QoS monitoring is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction.

Iskratel Performance and QoS monitoring solution enables surveillance and monitoring of key performance and quality indicators (KPI/KQI) from network elements. The visibility of the entire network infrastructure’s performance contributes to the efficient real-time monitoring of critical network resources. The thresholds on any KPI/KQI are measured against acceptable performance levels for each service-performance variable. The solution detects problems and helps operators to proactively correct them before the service has even been affected.

Key benefits: • Efficient tool for the proactive optimization of existing network and network planning, • Rational and focused investments based on the identification of overloaded network elements, • Increased quality of service and service performance.

From traditional service quality management to evolved customer experience management.

CPE Provisioning

Key benefits:

The growing complexity of new services (like IPTV) and the increasing amount of CPE, requires more frequent changes to the configurations or even software updates on CPE.

• End users - Iskratel provides a complete infrastructure from web portal, graphical interfaces and solves security issues. End users are given a simple, robust and safe means to personalize their services without any need to seek help from the operator help desk.

Iskratel’s solution is based on the TR-069 set of standards for the integration of CPE service provisioning into the customers’ operational processes. Fast responses to customer requests are enabled and used proactively to increase revenue and lower operational costs by the smooth implementation of new services.

• Operator Help desk - User interfaces are simple and intuitive, enabling a fast learning curve and a quick response to customer problems. The consolidation of all the required tools on a single common portal is achieved.

• IT integrators – Standard protocols and welldefined informational models are provided for the rapid integration into the customer environment.

The integration is based on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

• Network administrators - The SI3000 MNS central architecture gives administrators the possibility to quickly inspect and compare the settings of services and resources. Mass provisioning allows many resources to be affected with just a single click. The wide use of profiles simplifies the work, and wizards are available for most frequent actions.
