The document discusses TeleMakkaräna's network transformation journey towards fixed-mobile convergence. It summarizes:
1) TeleMakkaräna implemented a Juniper MPLS backbone and metro network in Phase 1a, reducing OPEX by 20% and outages to zero.
2) In Phase 1b, a common Juniper control complex was introduced for converged authentication, authorization, and accounting.
3) A cost modeling tool showed that migrating TeleMakkaräna's mobile backhaul to a Juniper IP/MPLS solution over Ethernet could save over 45 million in CAPEX and OPEX over 5 years, a 32% savings compared to the existing TDM
If you travel a lot, like I do, you visit interesting countries and hear lots of interesting stories.
today I would like to share with you one of these stories.
So put back your tray table, turn off all electronic devices, and fly with me to the beautiful country of …
Makkaräna !
You may not have heard of Makkaräna , but that is a pity as it is a beautiful country.
If you look it up on Wikipedia this is what you will see…
It is located in eastern Europe, on the Black see coast.
It is ruled by the wise King Jaroslaw 13, and his wife Queen Ezmiralda.
The population is very happy, which is reflected in their Motto and in their National Anthem (play)
Read for yourself afterwards what Wikipedia has to say about Makkaräna
Makkaräna has a telecom operator, called TeleMakkaräna .
But it hasn’t really become very competitive yet.
Recently, the government decided to create more competition by allowing foreign ownership of companies.
Immediately, the European operators came in: T-mobile , Vodafone.
As a result, TM had to do something and they asked a very expensive consultancy company to come with a strategic plan.
The consultancy came up with a new structure
Also they asked the major networking vendors to give them their vision for a unified network.
Juniper Networks has a very nice account manager in M, and he recommended…
The objective of the unified network is to reduce the cost of ownership.
the best way to do this is to introduce a single network OS which can address all requirements.
Juniper’s approach to NGN solution offering is to combine
Open IP infrastructure across CPE, access, edge and core, routing and security, including policy
Driven by the business logic and requirements
With open interfaces to partners
This approach to NGNs maximizes network and business potential.
