Next Generation Solutions for the Communications Industry

Services Planning and Development

Reducing the cost of deploying new services, reducing customer churn, and increasing the average revenue per user are the top concerns for today’s service providers. But next generation data rates are exponentially increasing the number of users and potential services, and meeting these goals is a challenge. Telelogic System Architect®enables providers to better plan for next generation services with operations and business support systems engineered to meet your objectives. With direct support for NGOSS (Next Generation Operations Systems Support) modeling, System Architect is the Enterprise Architecture solution for services providers.

The services architecture can be seamlessly deployed with Telelogic Tau®. With Tau, services developers can rapidly create and simulate services using UML®-based model driven development that leverages the latest software technologies like C#/.NET, J2EE. With these technologies, you can easily visualize existing source services, saving development costs via reuse. The cost of deploying services is significantly reduced because the service can be tested as it is being built, eliminating defects early when they are the least costly to fix.

Equipment Manufacturers and Device Development

Because of the thousands of user requests for voice and data transpiring hitting your network at any given time, running your physical network oftentimes requires a hard real-time response. Rhapsody® For Telecom™ enables equipment manufacturer engineers to validate systems before deploying on the actual NGN architectures, integrated with Telelogic SDL Suite™ for NGN (Next Generation Networking) protocol development. The SDL Suite is the premier protocol development solution for today’s 3G system developers and it is enabled for 4G, too. Offering an integration with Rhapsody, the market leading embedded model driven development environment, Telelogic provides a complete end-to-end solution for equipment as well as devices. With an Eclipse code centric integration, rapid retargeting to various real time platforms, Rhapsody for Telecom is the ideal solution for device development, where a “write once, run everywhere” approach is essential to beating your competition.

Testing Next Generation Networking (NGN) Systems

Telelogic testing solutions are integrated and tightly wrapped around all the domains you are working in. For Services development, the SIP protocol is essential for NGN services and Telelogic Tester™ is the only solution on the market offering test suites for SIP development. SIP is the defined protocol for NGN-based services, which makes Tester the solution for NGN. In addition, the NGN protocols for over the air communication also need validation, and the TTCN Suite™ is the protocol testing standard for 3G and now 4G systems.

Building a Communications Design Lifecycle Backbone

Modeling solutions become siloed if they do not have an integrated backbone for systems and software engineering. To do this, you must have complete traceability of customer requirements to the deployable systems—which is easily done through Telelogic DOORS®, the market leading Requirements Management solution. DOORS is tightly integrated with not just architecture solutions for services, equipment, and devices, but also with solutions that allow engineers to effectively manage change. Most major telecommunications manufacturers are engineering systems with multi-geographic development and most of the time they are building the same applications, so it is critical that they are able to work in a parallel development environment. Using Telelogic Change™ and Telelogic Synergy™ communications, engineers can effectively manage the lifecycle, ensuring that products are being delivered on time with the expected functionality your customer demands.
