Cramer
Systems announced that NetCom, Norway
's second largest wireless communications carrier and wholly owned by
Telia of Sweden, has chosen Cramer to provide a strategic network inventory
solution for its next generation network. NetCom is one of the world's
first providers of 3G services and provides more than one millionsubscribers
mobile voice and advanced data services.
With
Cramer, NetCom will consolidate disparate systems used to keep track
of network infrastructure into a single, easily accessible and scalable
solution. The detailed, comprehensive view of network resources and
capacity Cramer provides will enable NetCom to operate its network with
maximum efficiency, driving costs down and improving returns on network
investment. Additionally, with Cramer's built-in automation tools, NetCom
will automate circuit provisioning to optimise use of available capacity
and
fulfill orders as quickly as possible.
"Cramer
simplifies the complexity of operating multi-technology,
multi-service mobile networks," said Tore Malmo, Manager of Network
Planning
for NetCom. "As we continue our transition to 3G, upgrading network
infrastructure and deploying new equipment, Cramer will enable us to
stay
fast and efficient."
The
NetCom win highlights Cramer's increasing dominance of the 3G network
provisioning and inventory application space. Other 3G customers include
Hutchison 3G, Vodafone Ireland, IPSE2000 in Italy and Monet Mobile Networks
in the USA. Cramer's other mobile customers include O2, KPN Mobile,
Wind
and Cegetel. More than 30 carriers worldwide, fixed and wireless, rely
on
Cramer to manage network resources and deliver services up to 40 percent
faster.
"Cramer
simply has the most compelling technical and commercial proposition
in its sector," said Don Gibson, CTO for Cramer Systems. "3G
rollouts
require network inventory and provisioning solutions that are extremely
capable, and that make a return on investment within months. That's
what
Cramer provides. NetCom's decision is a further validation of the Cramer
solution and its value to carriers everywhere."
