Nokia Siemens Networks' fifth Global NOC in Russia

Nokia Siemens Networks has fired up its new global network operations center (GNOC) in Voronezh, Russia, which is designed to help telecom operators across Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) improve the speed, quality and efficiency of their services.
NSN says the GNOC in Russia will improve economies of scale through its centralized network operations for regional operators. Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) in Russia is the first operator to take advantage of these benefits.
“Operators around the world are seeing the benefits of outsourcing their network operations, and this trend is gaining momentum here," said Armando Almeida, head of Global Services for Nokia Siemens Networks. “Our GNOC in Russia is our fifth globally, and will help operators in the country and CIS to outsource their daily network operations and maintenance tasks. This will allow them to focus on their core business activities such as improving service quality and increasing business profitability."
The center, built with the capacity to expand up to 3,000 square meters, is able to host up to 500 expert technicians. It’s being expanded to manage up to 100,000 network elements in Russia. The new center’s areas of expertise and resources will also grow to include network planning and optimization services.
The new facility is designed to operate multi-vendor networks. This new GNOC joins an existing network of four other multi-technology, multi-vendor GNOCs – two in India, one in Portugal and one in Brazil. These centers ensure high network and service performance through transparent Service Level Agreements and more efficient service delivery while reducing risks, Nokia Siemens said.
