Broadband Network Management 2004-2009
a market research report
|
|
Network management has always resulted from efficient resource management. Though it still does, network management is increasingly complicated due to the accelerating rate of change in today’s broadband network environment. Insight’s market research report, Broadband Network Management, examines how telecom network management systems will work with new optical elements in an IP-based environment. The report also considers whether true service assurance can be provided in real-time, and whether quality of service (QoS) guarantees actually generate additional revenue.
This study examines global and regional network management trends, and forecasts spending on the network management operations support systems (OSSes) needed to manage broadband networks. The backdrop for this discussion includes an assessment of how current access, metro, and core broadband networks—such as SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, DWDM, IP, DSL, Frame Relay, and HFC networks—are currently managed. Software development aspects of implementing broadband network management systems (NMS) are also described.
Broadband network management functions are decomposed in terms of the “FCAPS” framework, prescribed by the ITU’s Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) specifications. The FCAPS network management functions—Fault, Configuration, Account, Performance, and Security—are described for both circuit-based and packet-based broadband networks in terms of the metrics collected for analyses. The report further discusses the challenges broadband network management presents, such as:
network management performance as more functions are embedded into intelligent network elements,
network management across multiple service providers, and
network management performance across multiple technologies.
The research report describes the latest strategies that standards bodies, service providers, and broadband NMS providers are applying to address these challenges.
The report’s market forecast chapter describes global and regional market trends for broadband network deployments and spending associated with broadband NMS OSSes. Spending forecasts on broadband NMSes providing each of the five FCAPS network management functions are provided for the North America, Europe/Middle East/Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America/Caribbean regions, from 2003-2008.

Broadband Network Management Background
After three years of contraction, the telecommunications industry at the start of 2004 is beginning to invest once again. Carrier investment is no longer allocated for maintenance or modest upgrades to existing networks, rather billions of dollars will be spent worldwide over the next few years on a new generation of equipment capable of bringing integrated voice, data, and video services to residential and business customers. Before the first new broadband service can be provided to the first customer, however, broadband network management systems (NMSes) must be in place and capable of managing all the new network assets.
Broadband NMSes are the hardware platforms, applications software and middleware, and ancillary services needed to manage the elements of broadband networks so that revenue-producing services can be operated and be billed.
In North America, cable TV (CATV) multiple system operators (MSOs) and traditional telephony providers are pitted against one
another as both rush to create converged networks capable of providing voice, video, and high-speed data services to residential and business customers. In Asia, where GDP growth is two to four times that of the US or Western Europe, the telecommunications needs of business and residential subscribers is growing to...
