The Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA runs
in a clustered SUN server configu-
ration, which provides the greatest
scalability as your network evolves.
The database provides high avail-
ability due to the redundant master
slave configuration.

The Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA
interfaces with the access network
Element Management system to
align with the list of network ele-
ments that it needs to manage. The
Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA implements
a web-based GUI, letting it run in a
PC browser.

OSS and customer care integration

The interface to the OSS is based on XML/SOAP. All
testing and diagnosis capabilities are accessible from this
interface so you can easily integrate testing capabilities on
your other OSSs. A high-level API has also been specially
developed for integration into customer care systems.
This enables you to expose simplified information to
customer care agents, while supporting flexible workflows
for customer support operations.

Multi-vendor support

The Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA supports most Alcatel-
Lucent access nodes. The product has also been
expanded with a multivendor interface to facilitate
support of third-party vendors’ access nodes. Support
of third-party access networks is handled on a project-by-
project basis.
