Welcome to The Symworld Platform Thus , the concept of Mobile as a Software was born , with Rakuten Symphony planning , designing , and operating “ nextgeneration , software-defined networks ”. This comes in the form of the Symworld Cloud – the “ leading unified telco edge cloud ” that links from cell sites to central data centres – and the Symworld Network , with Open RAN 4G , Open RAN 5G , and Symware appliances , leading to the next generation of OSS and BSS .
Dabboussi explains further : “ Existing OSS systems are quite complex and quite burdensome , built on element management systems . These are the tools that manage the elements of the network – or the network management system . These are the tools that bring it together at a network level . We eliminated both of these , and we built a complete observability framework that is abstracted from the vendor ' s specific technologies .
