Teleste CATVisor EMS 4.0 Integrates Spatial Network Views to its Versatile Features
TURKU, Finland, November 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Teleste [http://www.teleste.com ], a leading technology provider of
broadband video and service platforms, today announced its new CATVisor EMS
4.0 [http://www.teleste.com/ems4 ] network management system, which will add
spatial information to network management. The management system now allows
network operators to pinpoint problem areas and faulty network elements on a
real world map. This will significantly reduce the time it takes to repair
faulty devices and save network management costs.
Other advanced features of the new CATVisor EMS 4.0
[http://www.teleste.com/ems4 ] include:
- associating documentation to network elements
- pinpointing ingress problems and their impact areas on a real
world map
- fully configurable views that can be tailored to include just
the right information for each application, task and user.
"For more than twenty years, Teleste [http://www.teleste.com ] has
gathered extensive experience on how HFC networks and optical headends
should be managed. All this experience has now been poured to the new
version of CATVisor network management system," said Matti Susi, Product
Manager at Teleste. "One fact in life is that network problems do occur. How
these problems are handled and communicated reflects directly to customer
satisfaction. Quickly sending help to the right location and clearly
communicating to the concerned customers is much easier by having a
comprehensive view on where the problems are located and what the impact
area is for the defective element."
The majority of large European cable network operators are already using
Teleste CATVisor software. "After experimenting with several network
management systems, we found Teleste software the most comprehensive and
focused tool for the job. We have been managing our networks with CATVisor
software the past 10 years and we've been very pleased how it has enabled us
to keep everything under control. We are excited about the new version and
can't wait to benefit of the new features," Alf Pedersen, Manager of
Technical Department at Stofa A/S, Denmark.
Reduce downtime and unnecessary truck rolls
In addition to providing a view to all network elements and their
status, the new CATVisor EMS 4.0 [http://www.teleste.com/ems4 ] attaches
spatial information to network elements, showing where the network elements
are located on a real world map. Teleste CATVisor EMS 4.0
[http://www.teleste.com/ems4 ] promises to significantly reduce network
management time and costs.
"Having information on the status of network elements is a basic feature
in network management systems. However, they often fail to deliver accurate
information on where these elements are physically located and what their
impact areas are. We are now changing this by providing a spatial view of
the network map that intuitively tells where the problem has occurred and
how customers are affected. This eliminates guesswork from network
maintenance and management, and reduces downtime and unnecessary truck
rolls," Matti Susi continued.
All necessary documentation immediately at hand
Because network downtime is very costly and can have serious impact in
customer satisfaction, it is essential that network problems are solved
quickly. If documentation is not easily and quickly available, lots of time
can be lost and great deal of frustration generated both among the customers
and the maintenance crew.
"The CATVisor EMS 4.0 makes it possible to react quickly as it allows
documents and links to be associated to network elements in a logical
manner. All documentation - it can be a diagram or a photo of cabinet
contents - are related to the corresponding units and easily available in
coherent manner."
Add new perspective to ingress control
In addition to the advanced spatial features, CATVisor EMS 4.0 also
helps operators tackle ingress problems. Ingress sources can be challenging
to trace as ingress can disappear as quickly as it appears. Despite this
temporary nature, ingress can significantly lower subscriber satisfaction.
In an ideal situation, ingress problems can be quickly isolated and
physically located on a map the operator can see which subscribers are
affected by it.
Spatial views add a new perspective to the unique Ingress control system
in CATVisor EMS 4.0. The ability to select the map area where ingress
control is done makes the process even more intuitive and further speeds up
the ingress source location and isolation. Combined with the unique ingress
monitoring and suppression features of Teleste ACcess series intelligent
network products, EMS spatial ingress control provides additional help in
improving data service quality and reliability.
Availability
The CATVisor EMS 4.0 is immediately available from Teleste and its
partner network.
