PLANO, TX, Aug. 31, 2015 – Tektronix Communications, a wholly owned subsidiary of NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC., will extend the availability, reliability and capability of its TrueCall® geoanalytics platform through signing with Ericsson an Operations Support Systems Interoperability Initiative (OSSii) agreement.
TrueCall is a real-time 24×7 network-wide geoanalytics platform. It hosts a suite of applications that provide monitoring, visualization, optimization, automation, and data monetization solutions. With this OSSii agreement, Tektronix Communications can increase TrueCall’s reach and availability across a wider set of radio access technology (RAT) types and management systems.
Richard Kenedi, president of service provider business at NETSCOUT, said: “By joining the OSSii program with Ericsson, Tektronix Communications will continue to expand our lead in the RAN geoanalytics space and enhance the multi-vendor capabilities of our platform. This agreement further underscores the availability and reliability of the high-value, mission-critical, real-time, 24×7 network-wide applications supported via TrueCall.”
· Fredrik Gessler, Head of Network Analytics and Management, Ericsson, says: “With the rapid evolution of mobile networks, interoperability is becoming a major expense for operators. OSSii addresses this issue by delivering integration efficiencies, faster time-to-market and lower integration costs, and Ericsson’s agreement with Tektronix Communications underlines Ericsson’s commitment to supporting interoperability.”
· OSSii is an initiative led by major network infrastructure vendors. It aims to facilitate the interoperability between network management systems from different vendors.
