Advanced Network Configuration
and Optimization Platform
Telecom
Telecommunication operators are spending large amounts to make their networks more competent as network
architecture becomes flat and networks organize themselves. New networks are evolving and resolving the issues
faced by older network generations.
Tata Consultancy Services offers you Advanced Network Configuration and Optimization (ANCO) Platform for
implementing complex business processes that enable you to configure and optimize next generation
telecommunication networks. You can implement solutions for Long Term Evolution (LTE) Self Organizing
Networks (SON) management and SON coordination easily and quickly using the platform.
You can manage your network more efficiently by using ANCO Platform for:
n
Optimization of transport network such as Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy (SDH)
n
Network diagnostics
n
Traffic migration
n
Control plane and network management of heterogeneous networks
Overview
Benefits
Leveraging ANCO Platform, you can find simplified solutions to your
problems in various areas of network management - designing,
implementing, and running complex decision-making algorithms or
business processes. You can retrieve data related to faults, performance,
and configuration of your network.
Improve the efficiency and reliability of your network
ANCO Platform is equipped with all standard interfaces such as TR-069,
SNMP, ASCII (Telnet), FTP, CORBA, XML-RPC towards the Operations
Support Systems (OSS), Network Management System (NMS) and
Element Management System (EMS).
Based on an expert system, ANCO Platform is equipped with advanced
concepts like complex event processing (CEP) and temporal (timebased) correlation. You can focus on implementing core business logic
with the intricate details of the expert rule-based engine presented as
an abstract.
The platform also provides a flexible bi-directional interface for the EMS
and NMS to facilitate feedback based on the outcome of the algorithm.
ANCO Platform can run along with your EMS or it can be a dedicated
standalone system; it can also be extended to design and implement a
SON coordination framework.
Divert all your CEP data to ANCO Platform for streamlining the load on
your network, allowing the platform to take quick and intelligent
decisions to manage your event processing. Obtain strong support for
network efficiency improvements across aspects such as IP/Transport
Management, LTE SON and service quality management.
Additionally, you can use ANCO Platform to:
n
Configure your network for optimization and achieve
defragmentation of SONET or SDH.
n
Leverage the Network Diagnostic Solution for root cause analysis
(RCA) through business processes automation along with algorithms
for event and fault correlation.
n
Manage multiple aspects of your heterogeneous networks (HetNets)
involving multi-domain nodes such as Macro NodeB, femtocells, and
WiMax/WiFi Access Point on a single platform.
n
Quickly design, implement, and test LTE SON algorithms.
Reduce your capital and operating expenditure
Minimize your capital expense (capex) by using ANCO Platform - a low
cost solution. It needs minimum or no compilation and re-deployment
effort, reducing your operating expenditure (opex). For example, if you

need to change an algorithm or an operator policy, you can make
changes in text-based files only without changing the code or without
re-deploying the solution.
Use ANCO Platform for multiple aspects of network optimization and
reduce costs. ANCO is a single platform that supports multiple
technologies such as radio (radio optimization), IP networking (service
quality) and activation, and service provisioning. It also supports predefined standard object definition for fault, performance, configuration,
radio frequency (RF) metrics, user equipment (UE) traces, deep packet
inspection (DPI) data, call detail record (CDR) and key performance
indicators (KPIs).
