New platform for managing subscriber data drastically reduces time to market for telecom services

Nokia Siemens Networks unveils One-NDS 8.0 subscriber data management platform at SUPERCOMM 2009.

The latest release of Nokia Siemens Networks’ One-NDS subscriber data management (SDM) platform has been unveiled at SUPERCOMM 2009 in Chicago this week. One-NDS 8.0 enables communications service providers (CSPs) to rapidly and cost-effectively create new personalized services for their customers. The new platform is expected to serve as a catalyst for the development and deployment of new services, enabling telecoms companies to take advantage of new business models.

“For many telcos, the time it takes to get new services rolled out – from concept to launch – is simply too long,” says Paul Magelli, head of Subscriber Data Management, Nokia Siemens Networks. “Because our One-NDS separates the core platform functionality from the applications it supports, innovative new offerings – whether developed in-house or, increasingly, selected from a range of applications partners – can be implemented in a matter of weeks rather than months.”

The latest release of Nokia Siemens Networks’ One-NDS subscriber data repository, allows CSPs to implement new applications and functionality as separate modules, without requiring any changes to the core platform software. As a result, CSPs can quickly respond to changes in the market and introduce personalized services based on customer insights. One-NDS 8.0 builds on the consolidated data approach of previous versions, which lowers network complexity therefore reducing operational and capital costs by up to 55 percent.

New applications can be deployed on top of One-NDS 8.0 to support CSPs’ efforts to improve customer services, as well as billing and charging. Moreover, CSPs can create value for themselves and their customers by better leveraging customer insights supported by One-NDS.

Notes to Editors

Nokia Siemens Networks provides a new generation architecture and open subscriber data management solution based on the One Network Directory Server (One-NDS) platform, giving the company an important complement to its strong Home Location Register and Home Subscriber Server (HLR/HSS) portfolio, which is already serving over 1.5 billion subscribers.

The One-NDS, a fully subscriber-centric directory server that uses standard commercial off-the-shelf hardware, can be scaled up to serve over 250 million subscribers on each platform. It is the first subscriber centric, carrier-grade real-time directory to support multiple applications in live networks. It provides millisecond response times and geographical resilience for continuity of service.

The new release of One-NDS improves application development and integration with a new layered software architecture that exploits consolidated real-time subscriber data. This allows CSPs to offer personalized services based on real-time customer insights. In addition, secure multi-tenancy and service hosting scenarios enable operators to develop new business models with other application and service providers.

The Nokia Siemens Networks SDM portfolio includes applications for HLR, HSS, Mobile Number Portability (MNP), Equipment Identity Register (EIR), profile solutions (Authentication, Authorization & Accounting, or AAA), Bootstrapping Server Function (BSF), and identity solutions.
