Introduction

In recent years the mobile and fix communications industry have seen exceptional growth with a massive increase in subscribers and services point of view. New comers have continued to emerge, in what has become a highly competitive market, offering consumers attractively priced voice services to encourage this trend. However, as the market has reached a level of maturity for voice services, mobile operators have been forced to rethink their strategies.

They are now focused on retaining their existing customers and increasing average revenue per user (ARPU) by offering the next generation of mobile data services. This has led the operators to centre their strategies on the achievement of 3G licenses, despite the high costs involved. For the operators successful in securing these licenses, the importance now is to complete their 3G network rollout as quickly as possible enabling them to offer new innovative service portfolios. By achieving this, they can begin to reduce their company debt burdens, which resulted from paying substantially more than planned for the 3G licenses, and maintain their position as market leaders.

Key Challenges

With increasing subscriber numbers and consumer demand for multimedia communications on mobile phones, mobile operators are challenged with changing their network infrastructure to manage the continually increasing volume of data traffic. So, it is critical that mobile operators plan ahead and manage their mobile network transmission network strategies to meet this network traffic demand. However, they also need to ensure the GoS offered meets customer expectations whilst controlling their costs. These combined issues are driving the mobile operators towards increasing capacity in the backbone network, upgrading the network with new sites and equipment. At the same time, more SDH, WDM, ATM and IP technologies are being used more in the network to support the higher volumes of packet-based data traffic. Network planning and design needs managing, enabling operators to understand how best to roll out new physical network, as well as deploying and managing multiple technologies. Capacity requires careful management, particularly in the transmission network to ensure the infrastructure will support the services being delivered to customers.
TTG Solution

TIPS (Transmission Inventory & Provisioning system) tool is a strategic solution focused on meeting the challenges facing mobile operators who are offering high-speed data and interactive multimedia services over their mobile networks. This intelligent inventory/configuration solution provides a consolidated cross-technology end-to-end view of transmission network. TIPS collects all the inventory/configuration information automatically via SNMP, CORBA, TL1 Base and SQL-based. With the aid of TIPS transmission operations & maintenance and planning engineers are able to vie current capacity and paths of their transmission network.

A TIP is able to show all level of transmission network like, SDH, VC s, TUs, Low Level, high level all the paths, etc. Therefore user is able to see used and a used cards and capacity of network. TIPS also have relevant work flow on the system that all the port/capacity requests and reservation can be done on the system.
Benefits

Rapid return on investment can be achieved from the use of the TIPS: Reduced capital expenditure on transmission network infrastructure through targeted build and better utilization of network resources Reduced operational expenditure through efficient planning and engineering and increased workforce productivity Faster return on investment for new network build due to targeted network expansion to areas of high demand/revenue Faster deployment of new equipment leading to a more rapid increase in network coverage Faster provisioning with fewer errors and reduced risk of failure due to accurate network data

Case Study

One of the Turkish mobile operators has just start to use the TIPS and whiten a few weeks they have mange to reduce 2x155 Mb from their transmission network. TIPS continually collects reliable data from transmission network and calculates and shows the utilized and non-utilized links in the network. Therefore transmission engineers can immediately provision the system and able to reduce unused capacities. This case stated shows that TIPS ROI is very fast.
