CO~OP focuses on Mobile Network Equipment vendor’s challenges as they impact the Wireless Service Providers operations environment. The project will define a common peer-to-peer architecture and introduce horizontal interfaces between operation support systems to enable the exchange of border object information. The project will also define a set of thin client interfaces to allow for desktop integration of information.

The main business problems in the OSS area are overly complex OSS systems and R&D inefficiency. The goal of this project is to reduce the complexity, time and cost of OSS system integration in multi-vendor networks, making overall management of multi-vendor networks easier for service providers. Specific targets include improved functionality such as common APIs and out-of-the-box automated operational procedures for Fault Management, Performance Management, and Configuration Management usage.

The project will define a common peer-to-peer architecture and introduce horizontal interfaces between operation support systems. This benefits the whole OSS industry by reducing the complexity, time and cost of OSS system integration in multi-vendor networks. OSS vendors (NEP, ISV, SI) and operators can optimize their R&D spend and efforts.

Participating Companies: Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia Siemens Networks, Samsung and Wipro
