Telefonica Moviles selects Lucent's network management software for 3G networks
March 17, 2004
Lucent Technologies has been selected by Telefonica Moviles Espana, Spain's largest mobile operator, to provide advanced network management software for its new 3G UMTS network, as well as its existing GSM and GPRS networks. Lucent's NavisRadius software will enable Telefonica Moviles to rapidly introduce secure data services to subscribers on these networks. Terms and conditions of the deal are not being disclosed.
Telefonica Moviles Espana will use Lucent's NavisRadius SP Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting (AAA) solution to provide robust security features -- through advanced authentication and authorisation capabilities -- to its 19,6 million subscribers in Spain, including its corporate customers. NavisRadius is part of a comprehensive suite of Operation Support System (OSS) products and services that Lucent is offering to mobile service operators to support new revenue-generating services, reduce operational costs and increase customer satisfaction. Lucent Worldwide Services will provide systems integration and installation services.
"Through our software and services expertise, Lucent can ensure that Telefonica Moviles can focus on delivering the content and services its customers demand, and not on the complexities underlying these offers," said Dave Poticny, president of Lucent Technologies Europe.
The NavisRadius AAA solution addresses all of an operator's authentication needs on a single, high performance platform -- helping reduce equipment costs, training expenses and time needed to deploy new applications and services. The latest release of NavisRadius builds on the flexible and extensible PolicyFlow language and adds an expanded graphic interface for overall server management and operational control. The ability to support multiple logging channels and highly tunable log rules, and custom alarm conditions will provide Telefonica Moviles with the monitoring capability necessary in today's 3G networks.
The NavisRadius software is part of the Lucent OSS software portfolio of open, standards-based solutions providing service creation, provisioning, monitoring, and service quality management of current and next-generation services over multi-vendor, multi-technology networks.
Lucent is exhibiting its solutions and services in Hall 27 / Stand B38 at CeBIT 2004 in Hannover, Germany from 18-24 March, 2004.
