LONG BEACH, Calif.-L.M. Ericsson, Motorola Inc., NEC Corp., Nokia Corp. and Siemens AG have formed a Cooperative Open OSS Project (CO-OP) under the framework of the TeleManagement Forum.
The participants said CO-OP members will work together on architecture specification, testing and verification of mobile network management systems with a goal of simplifying the integration of equipment and systems from multiple vendors in mobile networks. The agreement was announced at The TeleManagement World Conference.
“The TeleManagement Forum is very excited about this new initiative, as it is a significant step by the mobile industry to support the ‘lean operator’ concept of highly flexible operations, lower operating costs and faster time-to-market,” said Keith Willetts, founder and chairman of the TeleManagement Forum.
