their performance, and to perform troubleshooting activities.
Added several features in yearly releases following is the summary of the features.

Description This feature introduces IP over Ethernet backhaul connectivity using integrated
components at the BTS and eBSC. The solution allows customers to migrate to

Résumé
Description This activity involves development of new functionality in the BSSM Project. In
present situation, the operator will not be notified that the BTS’s power is
restored and the BTS needs to be reinitialized. The operator must continuously
poll the BTS to see if the power is restored and then must manually reinitialize
the BTS. As a part of this feature, BTS would automatically initiate recovery.
Proper notification of the progress reinitializing the BTS would be provided to the
operator via new alarms.
Role Team Member
