OmniGlobe Networks Introduces Satellite and WiMAX Management Software

OmniGlobe Networks announces OmniCenter-a comprehensive, end-to-end network management software solution that combines satellite and WiMAX network management, operations monitoring and bandwidth optimization into a single, cost-effective package. This solution is designed for Internet service providers and network operators that require a comprehensive dashboard view of their entire network, ensuring round-the-clock reliability and performance of their satellite and/or WiMAX networks, while reducing operational costs.

OmniCenter is the latest offering from OmniGlobe Networks - a global telecommunications company that provides affordable, satellite and WiMAX broadband Internet and VoIP services to geographic regions around the world where terrestrial telecommunications are unavailable, unreliable, or just too expensive.

“Managing a satellite or WiMAX network requires unique tools and procedures,” said Nigel Maund, Vice President, Business Development at OmniGlobe Networks. “Each network element must be monitored and maintained to ensure reliable end-to-end network performance, while operators must be able to resolve customer support issues quickly to ensure customer satisfaction and retention. OmniCenter provides an easy-to-use solution enabling local administrators to quickly isolate any network fault and resolve customer service issues.”

Unlike currently available network management solutions that are expensive and complex, the OmniCenter is designed for ease-of-use, providing management and system optimization capabilities tailored to the satellite-WiMAX network. It automates many of the routine tasks performed by network administrators such as system upgrades, bandwidth enhancement and real-time device monitoring. In addition, by combining proprietary and open source software, OmniCenter is priced much lower than competitive offerings.

OmniCenter feature highlights include:

- Improved Network Management-real-time device monitoring and fault management combined with Email/SMS alerts, scheduled usage reports, remote disabling of network devices and network testing tools, packaged in an easy-to-use Web interface.
- Enhanced Subscriber Experience-subscribers are grouped into pre-defined contention ratios; enforcing ‘fair’ network usage and different service levels, based on subscription packages.
- Improved Subscriber Management-an advanced database scheme stores subscriber information and bandwidth usage statistics for periodic billing and technical support queries.
- Accelerated Day-to-Day Management Tasks-system firmware upgrades and network-wide configuration changes are automated, and a powerful customization utility easily modifies update scenarios for any manufacturer’s network equipment.
