Telecom network and software giant Nokia announced Nokia NetAct Compact, a virtualized mobile network management system.
Nokia said key target markets for NetAct Compact include public safety networks (including TETRA customers), enterprise and public sector networks (healthcare, oil and gas, mining, railways, airports and universities), and smaller telecom operators.
Nokia already has NetAct solution for large telecom operators for consolidated and comprehensive view of any mobile network. The existing Nokia NetAct solution delivers tools for troubleshooting, administration, software management, configuration management and assurance capabilities.
The Finland-based telecom technology major is trying to meet the rising demand for smaller radio and core networks coming from a diverse range of industries outside of the telecommunications sector.
NetAct Compact features
# NetAct Configurator offers functionality for configuration management with common processes and data storage in multi-technology radio and core networks
# NetAct Monitor provides centralized end-to-end network monitoring on a single screen for all technologies, from element management to operational management
# NetAct Performance Manager helps smaller telecom operators improve service quality and optimize network performance through real-time 24×7 performance management and monitoring
NetAct Compact is expected to meet the operational and budget requirements of smaller operators, as well as organizations in public sector markets.
“NetAct Compact is suitable to improve network performance and enhance users’ experiences for smaller operators and customers outside of the traditional service provider market. It also allows them to manage complex networks without compromising network and service quality, and without increasing operational costs,” said Peter Patomella, head of Network Management & Self Optimizing Networks at Nokia.
Nokia NetAct Compact is designed for radio networks with up to 2,000 network elements, and core networks with up to 500,000 subscribers. Nokia NetAct Compact provides a number of applications for system configuration and for monitoring and maximizing network performance.
