Abstract

A system for providing management protocol mediation between wireless networks includes a first wireless network (10) operable to communicate with a mobile station (12) over a wireless interface (48). The system also includes a second wireless network (44) having an operations and maintenance center (OMC) (78) coupled thereto and operable to execute an application to manage the first wireless network (10) using a first management protocol. The OMC (78) is further operable to manage the second wireless network (44) using a second management protocol. The system further includes a protocol mediator (166) coupled to the first and second wireless networks. The protocol mediator (166) is operable to translate between the first management protocol and the second management protocol.
