Platform operations

ATC operates critical signaling platforms, its own and third-party

ATC installs, supports and operates platforms in the operator's network, with operational responsibility transferred under a service level agreement.

Service lines

Deployment and go-live

Four milestones with acceptance test protocols, a migration plan with rollback and stabilization support.

Severity-based support

Four-tier expertise model, with technical escalation defined by severity.

Delegated administration

Periodic administration routines, with status reports and a contingency plan.

Multi-platform operation

Operation of third-party elements, with scope agreed per element.

Scope

The scope is stated in the agreement

Each service level agreement defines severities, the responsibilities of each party and exclusions. The split of responsibilities is part of the contingency plan.

Included

  • Monitoring and alarm management toward the operator's management system
  • Preventive and corrective maintenance
  • Periodic status and capacity reports

Not included

  • Operator infrastructure outside the agreed scope
  • Changes not approved by the operator
Delivery framework

Four milestones, eight acceptance test protocols and fourteen closing deliverables

Each deployment advances through milestones with acceptance signed by both parties. The operator receives the platform with its documentation, its operating routines and its contingency plan.

  1. Milestone 1

    Platform installation

    Base software installed and verified on the infrastructure the operator designates.

  2. Milestone 2

    Core integration

    Connectivity tests with the operator's pre-production network.

  3. Milestone 3

    Partial acceptance

    Verification of functions, APIs and provisioning according to the agreed protocols.

  4. Milestone 4

    Final acceptance

    Go-live, handover of manuals and closing certificate.

  5. Stabilization

    Post-deployment support

    Follow-up with reports at decreasing intervals until formal closure.

Next step

Data is processed on the infrastructure the operator designates, under its control.

ATC reviews the platform the operator prioritizes and proposes the appropriate configuration. Sizing and review are provided at no cost.

  • Review of the platform and the network interfaces
  • Sizing according to the operator's infrastructure
  • Staged proposal: module, platform or delegated operation
