The firm’s Unified OSS solution to support next generation services
Clarity announced today that it won a third contract with Indonesia’s Tier 1 incumbent telecoms service provider, PT Telkomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom). Currently, Clarity provides PT Telkom with a single strategic OSS platform used for inventory, provisioning, and assurance of all its networks and services, based on a hybrid of Next Generation Networks (NGN), IP/ MPLS and legacy technologies.
The new contract will see Clarity’s solution supporting PT Telkom’s Metro-Ethernet services that are currently being rolled out within its heterogeneous NGN network. Clarity’s solution will be integrated with other equipment providers involved in the project, including Cisco, Juniper, Alcatel-Lucent, Tellabs, and Huawei.
Clarity’s Metro-Ethernet solution will offer complete lifecycle management for delivery and support of next-generation applications and services such as IPTV, Video on Demand, Voice over IP, storage extension, and disaster recovery. It will also enable a higher level of customer service while controlling operational expenditures as demand increases.
Indra Utoyo, Director of Information Technology at PT Telkom Indonesia, commented “Clarity’s solution was chosen as it was superior to anything else on the market. It supports Quality of Service provisioning for triple play (voice, video, and data) services that will run over a converged network. In addition, any network event or fault can be quickly identified, assessed immediately and resolved promptly before any of our customer’s Service Level Agreements are impacted. We see this as essential in being able to offer our customers the best possible experience and in supporting our un-interrupted subscriber connectivity. It is a very flexible solution that also offers scalability.”
Raj Thangiah, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Clarity, added “Service Level Agreements are the cornerstone of differentiating carriers’ service offerings. A Unified OSS solution allows for a powerful link to be created between the Network, the Service and the End Users, and it returns strong business benefits in terms of simple integration, cost savings, and improved customer experience. With deep visibility across the network and powerful management tools, Clarity’s Metro-Ethernet solution enables service providers to guarantee superior performance and prepares them for future network developments.”
Clarity is the first Next Generation OSS to be deployed end-to-end, across all lines of business, by leading Tier 1 service providers. The firm’s installed base includes such operators as Hutchison, Telekom Malaysia , as well as India ’s giant Reliance Communications.
