Gaining Control of a Multi-Everything Network

Bringing together multiple technologies, multiple vendors and multiple systems to deliver seamless customer services

mTOP-MTOSI Overview

Service Providers must deliver new services and products more effectively – faster and cheaper – than ever before in an environment that requires inter-working between many different Vendors, Technologies, and Systems.

MTOSI, the Multi-Technology Operations System Interface, is a single standard that provides the “glue” to connect these components together.

TM Forum Interface Program

mTOP-MTOSI Joins the TM Forum Interface Program

The TM Forum Interface Program was launched in April 2008 as the entity responsible for all normative interface work within the TM Forum.

Under the TM Forum Interface Program, all interface development efforts will be unified. That includes OSS/J (the multi-technology APIs that deliver on NGOSS design guidelines); mTOP (network and service management from transport); IPDR (the interfaces used for usage data management and accounting); and CO-OP(implementation of a common architecture for mobile network management.) Each will now leverage each other’s development resources to create a common roadmap and architectural framework.

mTOP-MTOSI Team Activities

Multi-Technology Operations System Interface (MTOSI)
The TM Forum MTOSI effort has the goal of defining a unified open interface to be used between Operations Systems (OSs) for the purpose of network and service management. The goal is to cover all technologies from layer 1 (e.g., SONET/SDH) to high layer technologies such as VoIP. Given the success and popularity of the TM Forum Multi-Technology Network Management (MTNM) effort, the MTOSI team has decided to base their work on the MTNM model. The MTNM model is intended for the NMS-EMS interface and the focus is on network resource management.
