Abstract: In the today’s market scenario of intense competition, the organizations face the challenges of low price and high quality. The traditional model of separate teams for delivery puts additional burden on these factors adding to additional pressure. The key to success is knowledge re-use wherever possible and spreading the roles and responsibilities across the different delivery phases. The intent of the paper is to highlight one such practice for handling these challenges.

Abstract:  Femtocell access points (H(e)NBs) are close-range, limited-capacity base stations that utilize residential broadband connections to connect to carrier networks. The use of such distributed base station architecture improves reception and allows the operators to deliver fast, seamless, high-bandwidth cellular coverage into the homes and offices of their end customers. The deployment of Femtocell solutions is attractive to mobile network operators as they successfully address coverage and mobile data bandwidth requirements by leveraging widely available broadband connections without the additional cost associated with the alternative macro-cell deployment. Security is the most challenging area and critical aspect to prevent unauthorized access to important resources in any wireless communication network.

Abstract: Every equipment manufacturer requires a solution for the element management of the equipment. Traditionally, an EMS is built custom to the requirements of the network elements that it has to manage. When the equipment manufacturer builds a new product line or upgrades the existing one, the cost to port / re-engineer the existing EMS becomes a major hurdle for the change.Reusable NM Components ( RNMC) provides an easy solution to this problem.
