6:50 AM -- Networks are large and complicated beasts, so it's handy for telco operations teams to have multiple views of what's happening to the infrastructure and how changes in the network might be impacting service quality.
India's leading operator, Bharti Airtel Ltd., decided it would deliver those multiple views all at once by building a screen with a larger surface area than a tennis court at its Universal Network Operations Center in Manesar, Gurgaon (just outside New Delhi).
Bharti's Network Experience
There's even enough screen room to show the cricket while checking out the health of the network...
The operator procured Service Provider Information Technology (SPIT) systems and know-how from customer experience partner Nokia Siemens Networks and believes it has an unrivalled view of its networks and the services being delivered to its 186 million mobile and 3.3 million fixed line users in India.
