AIReach Element Management System (EMS)

The EMS is a fully integrated carrier class management system that provides remote configuration and monitoring functions of the network sites from a central operator console.

Based on the Sun Solaris platform, the EMS utilizes a graphical user interface (GUI) based on X-Windows and Motif.

The EMS uses simple network management protocol (SNMP) to interface to the network elements.

SNMP northbound Interface to OSS Systems Built on proven software Database driven Ensures consistency and accuracy of database Persistent storage for easy data retrieval Advanced queries and reports
