Altran is the European leader of network consulting activities and, through its infrastructure and Networks Practice, offers

a comprehensive and phased approach to address the challenges of network transformation. Our teams have implemented

complex migration strategies multiple times and have developed robust and proven transformation methodologies. It is an

absolute necessity for operators to transform their networks.

The definition of a network transformation model implies several capabilities:

•Technology roadmap advisory

•Technology validation and trial management

•Network implementation PMO

•Network service management

This requires of course a deep technological knowledge but moreover testing capabilities what could be expensive and very

long to put in place…

Altran and Telecom Italia – Testing Labs come together for end to end high quality testing services

Who takes care of testing the stability of the technologies ready to enter our lives?

We offer our joined expertise to deliver Turnkey Services

for testing all the main new network solutions. Thus, we

provide a unique opportunity to use the whole lab structure

hosting state-of-the-art laboratories, where technicians

and engineers test next generation platforms, end to end

solutions, terminals and services every day.

The unique infrastructure and the Telecom Italia –

Testing Labs capabilities enable the

test activities covering the whole

range of fix/mobile networks,

applications, end-user services

and user equipment technologies

leveraging many key assets:

•All existing and new technologies;

•State of the Art measurement

equipment;

•Unique Testing certifications based on 21 labs

including 8 accredited labs.

In addition, the service portfolio includes all possible

testing applications and hosts many delivery types in

order to fit all the needs. Also, to deliver tailored-fit solutions

the Laboratorio Accreditato Prove has the capacity and

the flexibility to mobilise the right resources among:

•200 consultants exclusively dedicated to this testing solution;

•More than 11,000 sq. ft. for the fixed network test plant

including 150 racks and 300 equipment;

•More than 22,000 sq. ft. for the mobile network test plant

including 100 racks and 200 equipment;.

Thanks to those assets, relying on the LAP solution for

testing activities give the opportunity to access a high

quality and independent assessment provided

by a unique partnership in Europe. But this is

not the only benefit…

Financial investments to develop a fully

equipped testing centre integrated to the

operator structure can be avoided. It enables

finally to improve cost management and to

reduce the capital expenditure amount. In

addition, operational expenses due to long

and difficult test campaigns with associated

costs are also minimised as the labs include

full capabilities for test automation and load tests.

All the testing facilities enable to improve drastically the

Quality of Service and the Quality of Experience for the

final consumer both in terms of content and functionalities.

And as timely investments to create a testing centre are

avoided, the time to market to deliver new services and

features is minimised.

Altran is selected partner for the Laboratorio Accreditato Prove testing solutions; the Official Test Plant infrastructure presently used in Telecom Italia for test activities, with main focus on network equipment and systems.

In 2009, mobile data overtook voice traffic, in 2011 it

doubled it; growth pace will remain high for the coming

years due primarily to the abundance of bundle and “all you

can eat” offers. Their success, both in terms of acquisition

of new customers and service consumption, generated

increased demand for network resources. Combined with

the explosion of devices and

the proliferation of internet

applications such as web

browsing, social networking,

software download/updates.

These factors constantly

challenge the capacity of

mobile infrastructures.

•Connect: always provide

best connected solutions

(LTE);

•Innovate: improve the

customer experience (QoS

& QoE);

•Manage: have the better

understanding of the costs

(Opex & Capex);

•Optimise: implement

network modernisation

programme.

How can operators challenge their network capabilities?With data traffic growing by close to 50% per year in

Western Europe, Telecom operators faces major stakes to

transform their networks. Mobile data and video services

take-up, always best connected solutions, multi-services

and QoS management along with cost management are

among the hottest topics on the agenda of Network

operators. They have all launched, at various paces,

major networks modernisation and renewal programmes

along with the introduction of fix and mobile very high

broadband support. As part of this context the Altran

Network EXcellence (NEX) offer strategy provides through

its Network Transformation organisation solutions to

those challenges enabling a telecom company to optimise

current infrastructures and ensure best Return On Assets

(ROA), prepare the evolution towards next generation

networks, manage efficiently the network traffic explosion

and services diversity and provide faster time to market

solutions for networks services roll out.

This is however highly complex, requiring both strategic

and operational vision and the right model for network

transformation.

New market trends include a new network transformation model

The Telecom industry is under constant pressure as new consumer usages regarding smartphones have led to challenges regarding the operators’ network capabilities in terms of quality of service, costs and revenues.
