Huawei has announced the signing of a prolongation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the Operations Support System Interoperability Initiative (OSSii) along with other major telecoms network equipment players Ericsson and Nokia Solutions and Networks.
The new MoU extends the duration and scope of OSSii to interfaces from IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) domain and MANO. This milestone promotes integration of northbound interfaces from the core network and virtualised networks and facilitates multi-vendor interoperability for operations support system (OSS). The incorporation will further reduce time and costs required for multi-vendor interoperability for new services such as VoLTE.
Yan Ye, the general manager of the SingleOSS field of Huawei Cloud Core Network, said: “As LTE and VoLTE rapidly develop, the integration period and costs for IMS interoperability become a key focus for operators. As a major player in the OSS field, we are committed to reduce customers’ operational costs, simplifying network management, and shortening the time to market for new services introduction. OSSii will effectively unleash innovations in the network management field, improve integration efficiency and reduce customer costs. We are happy to renew our commitment to this initiative.”
