Telecom Italia – Testing Labs

Network infrastructure importance in the delivering

of operators’ services has been enlightened by new

challenges regarding data traffic and their network

capabilities.

Telecom operators face major stakes to transform

their networks. Mobile data and video services take-up,

always best connected solutions, multi-services and QoS

management along with cost management are among

the hottest topics on the agenda of Network operators.

They have all launched, at various paces, major networks

modernisation and renewal programmes along with the

introduction of fixed and mobile very high broadband

support. Delivering key answers to those challenges,

operators try to optimise current infrastructures and

prepare the evolution towards next generation networks.

This is however highly complex as operators need both

strategic and operational vision and the right model

for network transformation; which requires a deep

technological knowledge and testing capabilities what

could be expensive and time consuming before being

fully operational. Outsourcing those testing activities to an

independent key partner enables an operator beneficing

the excellence of testing services without the associated

loose of time and money. Therefore Altran, the European

leader of network consulting activities and Telecom

Italia – Testing Labs deliver thanks to their strategic

partnership every network testing solution for telecom

operators and vendors.

Altran and Telecom Italia – Testing Labs came together

for end-to-end high quality testing services.

You benefit from Minimum test investments

Financial investments to develop a fully equipped testing

centre integrated to the operator structure can be avoided. It

enables finally to improve cost management and to reduce the

capital expenditure amount. In addition, operational expenses

due to long and difficult test campaigns with associated costs

are also minimised as the labs include full capabilities for test

automation and load tests.

Optimise the Quality of ServicesAll the testing facilities enable to improve drastically the
