(Telecompaper) The major OSS players Nokia Siemens Networks, Ericsson and Huawei have initiated and signed a MoU enabling utilisation of OSS innovators across the industry. To help operators simplify network operations and reduce costs, the companies have agreed to cross-license the OSS interfaces used for multi-vendor network management. By enabling multi-vendor interoperability "up front" between the OSS of all three vendors, the OSSii alliance will promote competition by simplifying operations, reducing the overall integration costs as well as speeding up the time-to-market of new services. The reciprocal agreement will cover fault, performance, configuration, and basic network event and trace management for the northbound interfaces from Radio Access, Circuit Core and Packet Core network management systems. Under the terms of the MoU, the signing parties are committing to bilateral cross licensing agreements for multi-vendor network management. The cross-licensing and interoperability testing is open for third-party OSS vendors by joining the OSSii.
