Many service providers are deploying or considering deployment of LTE services (4G). To accommodate these higher speeds, Ethernet backhaul is often deployed to remote sites, sometimes using new Ethernet-capable microwave radio systems. However, legacy TDM microwave radios are also common and can remain vital for many years. It is important for a service provider to have access to monitor and manage all of these microwave sites effectively and efficiently.

The Microwave Site Management solution from Kentrox enables service providers to remotely monitor microwave sites and manage critical site elements. This includes performance and fault management, alarm monitoring, and configuration management for microwave radios from any vendor (for example, Alcatel-Lucent, Aviat, NEC, and Motorola – contact Kentrox for a complete list of supported radios).

Optima and Remote from Kentrox provide a microwave site management solution to provide complete visibility and control of network infrastructure sites and gives immediate operational cost reductions for organizations that need to access, monitor, and manage a large number of sites.
