ADTRAN introduced an Advanced Operational Environment (AOE) management framework focused on service delivery and overall operational improvement. AOE is designed to integrate with existing OSS systems, reducing the need for disparate management tools and allowing customers to provide and diagnose services using the same familiar billing, provisioning, equipment and facilities systems they use today. ADTRAN said its Advanced Operational Environment is in trials at several carriers. http://www.adtran.com/AOE
