Maintaining Quality and Controlling Cost
Delivering network services is an overwhelming challenge. The pressure is unrelenting, mounting around the clock as administrators, technicians and sales managers race to allocate network assets efficiently. Automation and optimization are essential in order to maintain quality and control costs. Optimization can bring cost-efficiency, maximize resource allocation and add agility in all areas of telecommunications operations.
Optimization produces flexible applications
Optimization helps telecommunications networks manage the trade-off between quality and cost. By maximizing network resources, operators can add customers and increase profitability. From long-term planning to tactical operations, ILOG optimization software components for Java and C++ provide the tools to dramatically improve decision-making for telecommunications.
Solutions
Optimization solutions for telecommunications:
Network optimization
ILOG's CPLEX and Solver optimization engines solve critical network problems like planning, resource assignment and configuration -- improving operator efficiency and decision making. For more details about how optimization can improve network operations, read our white paper.

Network planning and design
Optimization shows operators where to locate equipment and install capacity, maximizing infrastructure investment. ILOG engines can also assist optical transport networks in assessing failure potential during planning, enhancing survivability.

Traffic engineering
Optimization efficiently allocates network resources. Resource allocation is especially critical in the design of virtual private networks (VPNs); selection of labeled switched paths (LSP) in MPLS networks; least-cost routing of international traffic; and wavelength routing in opaque or semi-transparent optical networks. |

Network configuration
Optimization maximizes network performance. ILOG engines can minimize congestion in IP OSPF networks, or balance traffic loads within SS7 signaling transfer points. |
Service configuration
ILOG JConfigurator cuts network sales costs. Matching products and services with customers, JConfigurator streamlines the sales process while respecting product constraints.
Field technician dispatching
ILOG Dispatcher reduces network repair costs while improving customer satisfaction. Networks can coordinate service levels, customer visits, technician skills and vehicle capacities.
Network creation and maintenance scheduling
ILOG Scheduler improves network maintenance by producing accurate schedules and promptly processing revisions.
