Nokia Siemens Networks at European Utility Telecom Conference (EUTC), 3-6 November, Budapest
‘EUTC is the place where telco solutions meet the specific needs of the gas, water and electricity companies, looking for solutions to support their customers better and meet the constant challenge of cost reduction and efficiency’ explains Andrew Burrell of Nokia Siemens Networks Partner Marketing
‘In many ways the needs of these utility companies are very similar to those in the telco space, especially when it comes to receiving and interrogating remote equipment and metering devices. Our holistic portfolio deals specifically with issues such as ‘charge-at-once’ systems, service management and also element management, where we have a good story to tell with our partner ServusNet.’
ServusNet systems manage assets and processes covering the multivendor and multi-technology wind farm environment. Nokia Siemens Networks Open EMS Suite (OES) platform is at the heart of ServusNet's renewable energy operations and maintenance product.
OES jump starts the development process for such solutions, delivering significant benefits during integration and reducing R&D operational expenditure with a common industry platform that simplifies integration, speeding time-to-market. Using this management system wind farm operators get improved visibility of their network, helping them plan and forecast maintenance needs for greater uptime.
‘This collaborative solution opens up real opportunities in other distributed technologies and smart grids, and is a move away from the telco space for Nokia Siemens Networks.
Next time…
In our next issue Andrew will deliver a white paper about the trends in the utilities market and the overall offering from Nokia Siemens Networks. The white paper will include a section on Open EMS Suite, and how it provides a flexible and scalable platform for management systems.
