Tunisie Telecom has taken a significant step in modernizing its infrastructure by partnering with Dutch company VC4 B.V. to deploy a new platform for managing its fixed and mobile networks. The platform, called Service2Create (S2C), is designed to centralize the management of Tunisie Telecom's telecom infrastructure. This move is part of the company's efforts to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its network operations.

The new platform will provide Tunisie Telecom with a unified view of its network infrastructure across the country. It will cover various aspects of the network, including access infrastructure, fiber optic cables, GPON/FTTx networks, IP equipment, transmission systems, mobile sites, and interconnections. The platform will also support multiple generations and technologies of networks, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G mobile networks, as well as MPLS/IP, SDN/SD-WAN, and WDM/OTN networks.

The primary objective of the Service2Create platform is to provide Tunisie Telecom with a single, unified representation of its network. This will enable the company to locate equipment, track their status, and visualize their interconnections. The platform will also facilitate the exploitation of network data by various teams responsible for network operation, maintenance, and planning.

The implementation of the Service2Create platform is part of a broader program to transform Tunisie Telecom's operational support systems (OSS). These systems are critical to the technical management of the network, and their modernization aims to improve data quality, facilitate data sharing among teams, and make infrastructure management processes more integrated.

With the deployment of Service2Create, Tunisie Telecom expects to improve its visibility into existing infrastructure and facilitate network maintenance and development operations. The platform will also support the company's future infrastructure developments, including the rollout of 5G, fiber-optic networks, and increased digital usage.

The partnership with VC4 B.V. marks another step in Tunisie Telecom's transformation journey, as the company's telecom infrastructure becomes increasingly complex with the coexistence of multiple network generations and the development of new digital services. The modernization of OSS is crucial to ensuring that Tunisie Telecom's network management capabilities keep pace with these changes.

The successful implementation of the Service2Create platform will enable Tunisie Telecom to continue its digital transformation and move towards more integrated, visible, and automated network management tools. This will ultimately enhance the company's ability to deliver high-quality services to its customers and remain competitive in the market.
