  • Patent number: 9922539
    Abstract: A telecommunications network infrastructure alarms processing system. The system comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, an alarm collection application and an alarm processing application stored in the non-transitory memory. The alarm collection application pulls alarms from a data store and stores each alarm on a process pending queue. The alarm processing application takes alarms from the process pending queue, determines an identity of network equipment inventory corresponding to each alarm, determines an alarm signature of each alarm, builds enriched alarms comprising corresponding alarm signatures and a management identity of network equipment inventory, places the enriched alarms on a network operations center (NOC) queue, and launches alarm transmission threads for each different cell site, where threads retrieve enriched alarms from the NOC queue and sends enriched alarms to a network operations center (NOC) tool in time order by cell site.
