Connect44 have the ability to convert planning data (PLANNED) and live network (ACTUAL) data from any format into XML and command files to provision network re-configuration. This can be implemented via the OSS or by direct connection to the concerned elements.

PLANNED v. ACTUAL consistency checking is utilised to minimise errors and to ensure network parameters are retained between old and new configurations. This maintains network performance KPIs and reduces the need to employ high level databuild engineers on each project thus reducing costs.

Databuild files can be produced for most major vendor’s 2G/3G BSS/RAN activities: eg BTS reparent, BSC reparent, Node B reparent, RNC reparent, 2G/3G New build, circuit switched REL 4 migration, LAC change, migration to MORAN etc. Typically, these files are attached to our web based tools for subsequent provisioning. This method provides efficient communications, storage and version control to the issued databuild.

Extraction and creation of databuild files using network ACTUALs and planning data is particularly useful when networks are migrated from one vendor to another, this is Connect44’s particular area of expertise. This service can include end-to-end Databuild (creation of data), Provisioning (adding data to network) and Implementation (bring data into service) or a combination of each.
