Next Generation Network (NGN)
& Satellite SOA Based Services
About this project
Head Spring Solutions is currently involved in the project management and architectural design support for the customer's plans to develop a hybrid satellite-terrestrial communications network, based on its patented ancillary terrestrial component (ATC) technology. Our project focus is supporting the development process framework and project management of a fully scalable and flexible NGN that supports a variety of mobile based services from SIP-based voice to IP-based solutions fully customizable through service creation and multi-protocol service execution environments.
Key Areas of the project
Some of the key areas of the project of focus are:
- Routing and Core Transport based on an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem).
- Fixed-mobile convergence services on rapidly deployable multi-protocol service creation and execution environments built on SOA and standards to provide a highly flexible and scalable Service Delivery Platform (SDP).
- eTOM business process definition
- Agile project management that brings traditional core and network teams to a more collaboration and risk driven development framework.
- Support for multi-protocol and multimedia standards to offer a range of bundles and service mashups for product creation.
Value Drivers
- Transforming the traditional, black-box, stovepipe, vendor driven, OSS/BSS applications to a consolidated, 4+1 view, SOA, automated business process environment.
- Centralized orchestration, policy and rules engines.
- Enable the principles of self-service and customer participation retail services, where the Web 2.0 paradigm is likely to be stronger. This gives the customer the power to create his or her own service bundle that maximizes subscribers' product value while increasing profitability for the service provider.
- Cuts the time and cost of integrating new features into services and 3rd party developers.
- Accommodates the integration of product suite vendors by cutting the complexity of placing multiple applications in one environment by providing a set of standard interfaces (e.g. MTOSI, OSS/J), common orchestration languages, and best-practice processes (e.g. eTOM).
We expect more innovative services to stem from this project. Head Spring Solutions is proud to be part of this exciting collaborative venture.
