OPEX REDUCTION THROUGH INTEGRATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT

The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 Convergent Network Management Center
(CMC) provides cost-effective integrated network management for
next generation networks (NGNs), fixed IP multimedia subsystem
(IMS) networks, public switched telephone networks (PSTNs), signaling
networks - and any combination of these. It provides an easy upgrade
from PSTN to NGN/IMS. At the same time, the Alcatel-Lucent 1300
CMC significantly reduces operating expenditures (OPEX), especially
when compared with the cost of using separate management systems
for the PSTN and NGN. This product can also exploit the NGN’s
capability of delivering new revenue-generating services. It’s a complete
value proposition because it also enables the evolution to fixed-mobile
convergence (FMC) that is possible with IMS. Converged IMS-based
networks are managed by the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 Cross Domain
Management Center (XMC), an evolution of the Alcatel-Lucent 1300
CMC, and the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 Operations and Maintenance
Center (OMC), which manages mobile networks.

As PSTNs evolve, service providers are faced with the
challenge of managing NGNs, IMS networks and signaling
networks. Network management solutions must be flexi­ble and cost-effective. They must enable new revenue­generating services, allow for future growth, improve
operational efficiency and reduce costs. It’s a tall order.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC meets the challenge by
providing integrated management of:
> The Alcatel-Lucent 5020 Softswitch, including the

Alcatel-Lucent 5020 Media Gateway Controller (MGC)

and the Alcatel-Lucent 5020 Call Session Controller

(CSC), and addressing border gateway and access
