PISCATAWAY, N.J., April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Telcordia, a global leader in the development of fixed, mobile and broadband communications software and services, today announced that its Next Generation Operations Support Systems (NGOSS) solutions have been selected by Telenor, a leading provider of telecommunications services worldwide. Telcordia OSSs will support the replacement and operation of Telenor's entire mobile broadband services infrastructure, spanning 2G, 3G/UMTS and 4G/LTE technologies in Norway.
