Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced new wireless, metro and OSS Oss (ôs), city (1994 pop. 62,141), North Brabant prov., S Netherlands; chartered 1399. It is a significant industrial center. Manufactures include meat products, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, and metalware. (operations support systems Operations Support Systems (also called Operational Support Systems or OSS) are computer systems used by telecommunications service providers. The term OSS most frequently describes "network systems" dealing with the telecom network itself, supporting processes such ) solutions that are expected to help wireless and wireline service providers to significantly reduce ongoing operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales and improve operational efficiency. These new solutions include two remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a products that enhance Agilent's installation and maintenance (I&M) portfolio and could potentially save wireless service providers millions of dollars in maintenance expenses. In addition, OSS and metro products for network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) released in May will be demonstrated at Supercomm for the first time. "The latest Agilent (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, www.agilent.com) The test and measurement subsidiary of HP. In 1999, HP split off the division that started the company into an independent subsidiary named Agilent Technologies. At the time, the $2. solutions can make an immediate and substantial contribution to our customers' profitability," said Larry Lar´ry n. 1. Same as Lorry, or Lorrie. Holmberg, senior vice president of Agilent. "Our innovative new products address the most pressing needs of service providers and leverage Agilent's strengths in OSS and I&M as a way to decrease operating costs and increase productivity." Wireless Remote Monitoring Agilent announced two new remote monitoring solutions to help wireless service providers reduce operating costs related to maintaining and troubleshooting Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving. It is the systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved. Troubleshooting is often a process of elimination - eliminating potential causes of a problem. wireless base stations and networks, while increasing the effectiveness of network optimization optimization Field of applied mathematics whose principles and methods are used to solve quantitative problems in disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and economics. : -- Agilent OSS Assurance, an integrated service assurance solution that helps service providers reduce operational costs and capital expenditures. -- Agilent Hybrid Network Management, an integrated solution that helps service providers minimize network downtime and ensure a high quality of service over converged or hybrid circuit and VoP networks. -- Agilent Consulting Services, which include the following: -- Agilent OSS Integration Services, a complete and comprehensive service for Agilent's entire OSS portfolio; and -- Agilent Business Intelligence Services, which provides extensive insight into network data and helps service providers maximize network efficiency. -- The Agilent Wireless Data Optimization Service, which combines Agilent's drive test solution, protocol analyzers and service assurance solution with highly skilled Agilent personnel to provide multi-dimensional performance analysis and optimization of data networks. The service allows faster deployment of data overlay network and optimizes 2.5/3G networks to maximize data quality of service with minimal voice quality impact by monitoring RF, IP and server performance simultaneously. -- The Agilent OmniBER XM network simulator, which enables service verification testing for multi-service devices under real-life network traffic conditions. -- The enhanced Agilent OmniBER OTN communications performance analyzer, the industry's first product that provides Gigabit Ethernet over SONET/SDH via generic framing procedure (GFP) and high-accuracy OTU-2 jitter testing up to 10.71 Gb/s. -- The next-generation Agilent RouterTester 900. Enhancements include new interfaces and advanced testing capabilities for MPLS-VPN, IP multicast and IPv6 services. -- A multi-port, multi-rate Ethernet test option for Agilent's market-leading Transmission Test Set.
