BTI Systems adopted a service-centric approach to network and service
management with its proNX Service Manager, which minimizes network complexity
and blends service and capacity provisioning allowing network operators to
rapidly deliver services.

Providing rapid service deployment, simplicity and rapid troubleshooting
response, service providers are today implementing proNX Service Manager for
large scale deployments, delivering global interconnection services, Ethernet
business services and mobile backhaul Ethernet capacity. With powerful
service templates, product managers can design specific vertical service
packages in proNX, while operations staff with simple training are enabled to
rollout new innovative services, including EVPLAN's, in seconds across the
network.

"The service-centric management approach bundles information
comprehensively to improve service providers control, insight and
intelligence to deploy carrier Ethernet across metro access, aggregation and
core platforms," said Jim Crum, VP of Sales for Europe, BTI Systems. "This
enables service providers to plan a service and then automatically provision
all the network resources across the metro to deliver the service in an
instant."

Built on its tradition of innovation, BTI Systems will be unveiling how
proNX's powerful web technologies can enable service providers to monitor and
provision their networks from the palm of their hand with smart device apps.
