The solution, which includes the Apertio One-NDS (Network Directory Server), will enable Sprint to operate a Subscriber Profile System (SPS) based on a single, real-time common subscriber database, eliminating the inefficiencies of multiple databases and reducing administration and cost. Additionally, the capability to efficiently integrate new applications by plugging in extensions to the core data model on short notice without service interruption gives Sprint greater agility to adapt to changing markets.

The platform also will support a host of IP and IMS-based services and applications over the XOHM WiMAX network. Nokia Siemens Networks also will provide maintenance and system integration services.

Sue Spradley, head of North America for Nokia Siemens Networks, said: In today’s market, it is now essential for service providers to offer their customers a highly personalized and prompt communication experience. As Sprint paves the way for 4G, we are pleased they have chosen our one-of-a-kind solution to manage and unify their subscriber data.
