The Operations and Maintenance Center (OMC) developed by Italtel provides a complete set of features required for the operation, administration and maintenance of a GSM network. It has been designed and implemented in order to help the operator in his/her daily activity via valuable services and functions appropriately conceived to speed up and further control his/her management tasks.
In particular the following objectives from the network operator's perspective have been addressed and achieved:
The OMC has been designed and developed according to the world-accepted standard recommendations such as TMN series X.7xx and GSM series 12.xx. In addition, Italtel has committed itself to keep the OMC updated to the new versions of the standards.
Compliance with the recommendations and the usage of standard Q3 interfaces towards all network elements and other management systems allows the OMC to be easily adapted to support other vendors' equipment and to interwork with existing operations support systems.
The outstanding characteristic of the OMC is its user friendliness: the operator uses a powerful point-and-click graphical interface which guides the user throughout the variety of geographic color map displays, selection and function buttons, pop-up menus, browsers, and forms. An on-line context-sensitive hypertext help provides additional useful information whenever needed.
