Network Management

Network Management definitely falls into the category of the MERA’s key competence domains. MERA’s first involvement into software R&D for a network management solution was back in 1997 and represented a carrier-grade GSM Radio Access Network (RAN) Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) solution of a major telecom equipment manufacturer. Since then MERA has tremendously expanded its Network Management competence and worked on various Network Management solutions for 3G and 4G RAN as well as multi-vendor wireline and enterprise networks. As a matter of fact, MERA followed the evolution and mastered all existing network management approaches (OAM&P Services Providers Model, TMN Model (ITU-T M.3000), TOM and eTOM Models (ITU-T M.3050, TMForum) as well as underlying network management technologies/protocols.
