Operations and business support systems exist to serve the network, and every major change in network technology has forced a corresponding change in OSS and BSS. This hub covers the network developments that matter most to the systems we write about.
What This Coverage Includes
Our reporting spans mobile generations from 3G and WiMAX through LTE and 5G, fixed broadband and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), and enterprise connectivity such as software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN). It includes data center and internet exchange point (IXP) expansion, international backbone capacity, and the Internet of Things (IoT), where embedded SIM (eSIM) provisioning and machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity create new billing and management requirements. Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), which resell capacity on host networks, are covered here as well.
Why It Matters to OSS and BSS Teams
New network capabilities only produce revenue when they can be provisioned, monitored and billed. Network slicing, IoT device fleets and on-demand enterprise connectivity all place demands on operations systems that legacy platforms were not built to meet.
