Draft Final Report
Chapter 7 Outline of Scope of Works
attended on full time basis in NOC, resulting in shortening the communication time
between the related departments and at the same time, the phenomena difficult to be
identified by the individual supervising operation could be visualized. This operation can
realize not only alive monitoring but also simplify to identify what is a bottle-neck
problem of the system and result to an efficient Operation and Maintenance.
(b) Incident response
Fault recovery time can be reduced by reducing communication time between
departments through integrated processing of monitoring information that is split among
the departments and deployment of five technical department managers to the NOC
building. Balanced maintenance organization that is free from numbers of local personnel
can be established by using remote control technology and VPN (Virtual Private
Network) etc. with local test and setting change.
(c) Data analysis for communications management
Management information from NMS shall be accumulated to Data Base. It shall be
unified and managed to Graphical User Interface (GUI) to inform to NOC staffs.
(d) Reporting
Monitoring by using statics information, electronic reporting of performance information
and e-mail at faulty occurred make for reduction of operation cost and the staffs loads.
