Plugging In to OSS at the IMS/NGN Forum

The ubiquity of IP and its impact on the back office including the OSS will be a focus of the converged IMS/NGN Forum’s sixth interoperability “plugfest” in January.

The plugfests explore interoperability issues among service providers, vendors, and applications and content providers seeking to use merged wireless and wireline transport systems as fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) tools. The leading glue that holds these next generation network platforms together is IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) protocols.

All will work in a back-office environment where network convergence must be managed to deliver a plethora of content and applications across different network architectures. Past plugfests have focused on the infrastructure itself and how to converge wireless and wireline networks to seamlessly carry applications and services as part of quadruple plays using IMS.
