Netspan Network Management

Element Manager

Airspan’s products incorporate all the features that are required for the initial installation and commissioning of the products as well as their day-to-day efficient running. To this end, all products include comprehensive management capabilities in terms of features designed into the products as well as the centralized Operations & Management (O&M) system, Netspan.

Netspan provides the following functions:

• Fault management
• Configuration management
• Alarm handling
• Performance management
• Security management

Netspan is designed around a client/server architecture. The Netspan server runs on a PC platform, making use of an SQL database to store the configuration, statistics and alarm history from the radio network. Access to the Netspan server is from a variety of standard web browsers, using the web service of the Netspan server.

The Netspan O&M has terminal mobility service support from day 1, enabling roaming and self-installation by customers using EasyST and ProSTs.

Auto-CPE provisioning and Auto- Service Flow and Service Product allocation ensures that the network operator can take advantage of any compatible WiMAX Certified CPE that connects to his network. Network Authentication is managed separately from service provisioning and activation, which is a fundamental part of any mobile system design.

Each Netspan operator is given configurable access rights, allowing each operator to be granted the rights appropriate to their function.

Netspan provides configuration and diagnostic access to every radio network element, including Airspan’s WiMAX, LTE and backhaul technologies.
