CROSS Overview

Complete modular OSS suite for inventory management

CROSS Explained in 3 Steps

1/ Building Network Database

CROSS builds an integrated, end-to-end data model of the network by integrating all network records across live network, current inventory systems and spreadsheets. Data is linked vertically across all communication layers.

2/ Supporting Network/OSS Lifecycle

The resulting single source of truth about the network is surrounded with a configurable, user-friendly platform with planning and assurance modules to support, automate and optimize the complete OSS lifecycle.

3/ Bridging OSS/BSS Domains

Seamless data exchange with third-party BSS through APIs enables automation and supports interrelated network and service operations for improved efficiencies.

1/ Building a Single Network Database

CROSS synchronizes with systems holding parts of the overall network inventory, integrates them into a coherent single model of the network, and provides a platform for deploying and managing resources over the network infrastructure.

CROSS will then further ingest other data sources (i.e., other OSS for active equipment, excel data sheets, etc.) to create a fully horizontally and vertically linked database, resulting in a single source of truth about the network – across all layers.

2/ Supporting Network/OSS Lifecycle

Surrounding the CROSS data model (Step 1) is a highly configurable, web-based platform, complete with modules and planning tools to support key operational processes, such as service provisioning, planning and network creation, and assurance (service, network, revenue).

  • Tools applied across all layers
  • Network Planning
  • Number and IP Address Management (v4 & v6)
  • Capacity Management
  • Service Impact Analysis
  • Service Assurance & Root Cause Analysis
  • Revenue Assurance (manage leased resources)
  • Resource and Service Availability Checks

3/ Bridging OSS/BSS Domains

Surrounding the CROSS data model (Step 1) is a highly configurable, web-based platform, complete with modules and planning tools to support key operational processes, such as service provisioning, planning and network creation, and assurance (service, network, revenue).

  • Data bridge between the live network, OSS, BSS
  • REST-based Open API enables seamless data exchange
  • Asset performance optimization
  • Accelerate order and service management

Effective network planning and evolution

CROSS includes additional modules to help plan and design your network, helping you to manage and monetize it more effectively. As you extend your portfolio, CROSS ensures all assets are captured, helping you to efficiently grow your customer base and deliver services more efficiently. It builds agility and operational performance, reducing costs and boosting your bottom line.

1

Synchro

Import data from other inventory systems and create a consolidated record of all assets with Synchro, a data synchronization module. Probes are available for commonly used inventory systems, active components, and protocols.

2

SIA

Perform rapid Service Impact Analysis (SIA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) using the SIA module, which takes inputs from out-of-order services, filtered alarms, service port alarms (NMS), known network faults and more.

3

Insight

Insight provides an all-encompassing view of the network inventory by linking all physical and logical objects with services. The module allows users to seamlessly query the Resource and Service Inventory.

4

Circuit

The Circuit module gives users an end-to-end view of network resources across Physical, Logical, and Virtual layers. These resources can be planned for and presented in three ways: a geographic, hierarchical, and schematic view.

5

Locality

Devices associated with Physical, Logical, and Virtual resources can be managed using the Locality module. Included in this is a detailed record of the equipment and all supporting technologies.

6

Radio

The Radio module extends the basic Node and Link functions to support radio technologies and radio frequency management. Both Point-to-Point (PTP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) connections are supported.
