Comptel announced that it has enriched Comptel FLOWONEservice orchestration solution, giving telecommunications operators the means to better manage digital service lifecycles and meet customer experience and market expectations for virtualised service offerings. The FLOWONE V solution, which runs on top of Comptel’s fulfillment stack, incorporates virtualized network function onboarding and service chaining, digital service design and orchestration, and dynamic, closed-loop service assurance. 

It allows operators to transform their current service delivery processes by connecting the cloud and physical resources (e.g. compute, storage, network) with business management processes and systems (e.g. customer care, billing, customer order management).

In a separate news, Comptel announced that it has joined 22 service providers which includes BT, Telefónica, Telekom Austria and Telenor and a number of solution vendors to create a global Open Source MANO (OSM) community. OSM has been created under the umbrella of ETSI as an operator-led community to meet the requirements of production NFV networks such as a common Information Model (IM) that has been defined, implemented and released in open source software.

Antonio Elizondo, Head of Network Virtualisation Strategy and Technology, Global CTO Unit, Telefónica
A first result and seed of OSM is OpenMANO, a highly functional framework pioneering the first open source NFV orchestration and management stack and currently a key component of Telefónica’s NFV Reference Lab.

A digital service management layer such as the one offered by FLOWONE V will help ensure telcos’ agility, as it supports the rapid ingestion of and the ability to compose and deploy digital services comprised of virtualised network functionality, IT applications and third-party content.
