NEC and NetCracker Technology have announced today a joint solution aimed at helping operators streamline their operations and optimize their investments in wireless broadband. This joint solution is said to exemplify the commitment made to the market by the two companies to jointly bring new capabilities that enable service providers to quickly exploit the opportunities offered by the rising demand for wireless broadband. The solution leverages NEC's expertise in the area of Femtocell, WiMAX, and LTE, and NetCracker's next-generation OSS capabilities.
Wireless broadband is the foundation of delivering innovative services such as video streaming, rich media content, and multi-media gaming. With these new opportunities come the challenges of rolling out new infrastructure in the most cost-effective manner, operationalizing it quickly, and managing it optimally. These challenges can only be met when the hardware component of the infrastructure comes well-integrated with the Operations Support Systems (OSS) for service management.
The joint solution is on display this week at the Mobile World Congress.
"Wireless Broadband offers unprecedented opportunities to enter new markets, offer a diversity of services, and meet the bandwidth and quality needs of mobile customers," said Mr. Masanobu Yamaguchi , NEC's Vice President and Executive General Manager
"NEC's cutting-edge Femtocell, WiMAX, and LTE innovations, combined with NetCracker's decade-long experience enabling mobile operators to maximize their return on investment, ensures that wireless broadband can become the foundation for growth for service providers around the world."
