Main Characteristics

• Standard technology - based on open IT and telecom standards for middleware, protocols, APIs, service enablers, service execution models as well as data repositories

• Designed for standard COTS (commercial of-the-shelf) hardware - running on standard operating systems

• Horizontal architecture - consists of clearly defined functional layers for service execution, integration and exposure. It provides secure access to network capabilities through a set of abstracted service enablers

• SOA-based integration - follows the principles of Service Oriented Architecture for internal and external OSS/BSS system integration as well as service management and orchestration

• Open Service Creation

All in all: Not another ´stove pipe´ but a real future-proof SDP
