Plans for integration of KTF's legacy network management systems

Due to the rapid change in the mobile business environment and a variety of services, KTF has several network management systems. Each network management system has been specialized for each network such as NetCommander for 2G/3G (cdma2000) core, access and some supplementary networks, NexPlorer for 2G/3G IP network and iManager for 3G (W-CDMA) networks. However, market situations push operators to reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX). With these several network management systems, we think that we can not meet the time-to-market and reduce the operational expenditure (OPEX) due to a variety of interfaces to handle and a variety of vendor products to manage. In this presentation, the author talks about the plans for the integration of KTF's legacy network management systems. We plan to reassign the roles of our network management systems and unify the interfaces between network management system and EMS/agent. With these plans, we are going to implement a unified network management system and cut the operational costs.
