Collaborated E2E Operation and Service Management
Policy-based Management System Network Interoperability

Demo showcases a policy-based management system focused on terrestrial networks owned and operated by different entities to support E2E connectivity, including space communications. This is achieved by applying and extending TM Forum standards such as the Business Process & Information frameworks.


Business Proposition
Bring together defense operators and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) vendors to address integration and operational challenges faced by the trends of global information management through the implementation of TM Forum standards and emerging technologies.

TM Forum Standards in Use
for Development

  • Business Framework (eTOM) – Management system’s infrastructure and processes.
  • Information Framework (SID) – Data model and message structure.
  • SLA handbook – Product, service assembly offer and request interface.
  • Active Catalog – Advertising services and resources in the Collaborated Mission Planning System.
  • SID Policy Module – Policy definition, Infrastructure and execution.
 
Demonstration Scenario

Establish connection, manage/monitor services of terrestrial networks that are managed by different entities with proper security protocols. Read more

Open QuoteBy incorporating TM Forum standard frameworks into this first defense-focused Catalyst project, the team has successfully created a new direction for industry leaders to explore for their mutual benefit. It is foreseeable that this exercise will eventually drive a greater adaptation of these Closed Quotestandards in the defense industry.

Catalyst Presentation

Phase I vs. II

Phase I primarily focused on collaborated mission planning involving different satellite systems, in addition to policy-based service fulfillment/ monitoring. Phase II extends the applicability of the policy-based management system to terrestrial networks while remaining the focus on functional areas: mission planning, service order collaboration, service fulfillment, SA, policy definition and execution, and security.
