Reduced CAPEX and OPEX

By lowering capital and operating expenses, the Alcatel-Lucent Litespan family has a significant impact. The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS fits into your OSS puzzle by satisfying four key expectations:

Network fault reduction:

Proactive alarming

Routing line testing

Performance/traffic measurements and alarms crossing thresholds

Reduced customer service expenses

automating all activities for activating service and providing customer assistance through open interfaces that support:

• Service activation

• Subscriber status management

• Line and telephone set testing

Reduced maintenance costs:

Centralizing/automating operations and maintenance

(O&M) activities in the OSS, such as alarm reporting or testing for the multivendor

access network

Adapting network management functionality to your organization’s and staff expertise. (The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS has been designed according to the TMN model with element, network and service management levels that provide flexibility in terms of architecture and operator profiles.)

Providing operation-driven menus, constrained checking and on-line help to avoid errors

Properly forecasting spare stock with network inventory and alarm information

Reduced provisioning expenses:

Exporting accurate information on network resources for correct forecasting of access network deployment and minimized number of field interventions

Choice of operating systems and reliability

Multiple operating systems

The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS is available for UNIX and Windows 2000 operating systems. UNIX servers can each support up to 3,000 network elements and 65 operators.

The PC installations are ideal for managing networks

with fewer than 30 nodes.

Redundant servers

System availability is enhanced through the N+1 redun- dancy of servers (see Figure 5). A backup server will take over the function of any server that fails in the system.
