Ericsson to license its OSS interfaces for integration with
Cisco®
self-optimizing network (SON) products and NETSCOUT's Tektronix
Communications products.
·
Three-year agreements in alignment with the OSS Interoperability
Initiative (OSSii) initiated by Ericsson and industry partners in
May 2013
·
Deals underline Ericsson's commitment to supporting
interoperability which will stimulate innovation in network
management, as well as reducing costs for our customers
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has signed license
agreements with both Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) and Tektronix
Communications (a wholly owned subsidiary of NETSCOUT SYSTEMS,
INC), under which Ericsson will license its OSS interfaces for
integration with Cisco self-optimizing network (SON) products and
Tektronix Communications TrueCall® geoanalytics
platform.
The agreement is in alignment with the principles
outlined in the OSS Interoperability Initiative (OSSii). Initiated
by Ericsson, Nokia and Huawei in May 2013, this industry-wide
initiative promotes OSS interoperability between different vendor
equipment through the exposure of OSS interfaces and network
data.
OSSii enables pre-verification of products for new
network releases, and provides lifecycle management for interfaces.
In addition, it allows both OSSii partners and third parties to
support network releases without lengthy and complex integration
projects.
Fredrik Gessler, Head of Network Analytics and
Management, Ericsson, says: "With the rapid evolution of mobile
networks, interoperability is becoming a major expense for
operators. OSSii addresses this issue by delivering integration
efficiencies, faster time-to-market and lower integration costs,
and Ericsson's agreements with Cisco Systems and Tektronix
Communications underline Ericsson's commitment to supporting
interoperability and to providing flexibility for our
customers."
Uzi Breier, Director of Business Development,
Cisco, says: "Cisco's collaboration with Ericsson on the OSSii
initiative helps both companies deliver superior service. Fine
tuning Cisco's SON to the most updated Ericsson interfaces and
specifications will help maximize the potential of our customers'
Radio Access Networks."
Richard Kenedi, president of service provider
business at NETSCOUT, says: "By joining the OSSii program with
Ericsson, Tektronix Communications will continue to expand our lead
in the RAN geoanalytics space and enhance the multi-vendor
capabilities of our platform."
Both agreements run from August 2015 and will
initially cover three years.
