Integration of telecom energy systems into network management models using remote intelligent supervision, monitoring, and control

Abstract

The integration of telecom energy systems within today's evolving definition of network management systems (NMSs) is discussed, emphasizing the viewpoint of the various generic network management centers (NMCs) in an attempt to determine where telecom energy systems fit into NMSs and the telecommunications management network (TMN). As the levels of key competent network support system (NSS) personnel continue to dwindle, companies are being forced to install mechanized systems to meet today's required performance levels of per capita personnel effectiveness. The author categorizes the evolving staffing levels of NSS personnel, identifies the specialized needs of each user station type, and correlates that information with the design requirements of the evolving mechanized network management systems.<>
