5ESS-DCS (Digital Cellular Switch)

 responsible for controlling the switching and

traffic loads of the various call types (voice,
data, and fax) to and from the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and the
mobile.
Access Manager

 Executive Cellular Processor (ECP)

 capable of supporting 5ESS and cell sites
 performs mobility management functions includes
 determining if the mobile requesting access to the system is genuine,
 maintaining a database of subscriber records and locations, and
 collecting account billing information.

 Operations and Management Platform (OMP / OMP-FX)

 Data management (a centralized tool for connections to the Access
Manager, the 5ESS-2000 Switch, and the cell site)
 collects records on condition faults which occur in the system,
 provides detailed reports of service records, and
 provisions the cell site.
 In addition, it performs real time billing and backup storage data
functions
 OMP-FX is compatible with Flexent systems.
