Network Management System--Integrated NM platform

Grentech integrated NMS is an open NMS which comprehensively solves the customer's problems regarding the maintenance and management of network optimization equipment, thus locating faults timely, reducing maintenance workload, and minimizing user complaints.

Constitutor of Industry Standards

China Unicom Horizon – one of the major initiators and drafters of CDMA repeater unified NM protocol standards
China Unicom – the writer and sponsor of GSM repeater unified NM protocol standards
Well-experienced in professional constitution of repeater NM protocols and application and able to assist operators in constituting NM protocols that meet actual requirements

Access solution

Fully implementing the access of the user's network optimization equipment in the past, at present, and in the future
Unified protocol access – equipment compliant with operators' unified protocol standard
Open protocol access – accessing equipment that can provide a communications protocol and is capable of remote monitoring
External monitor access – accessing equipment incapable of remote monitoring or with a monitoring function which is too simple

Actual application

Provincial and regional NM centers have been established for China Mobile and China Unicom in more than 20 provinces and cities all over the country.
Hundreds of types of devices of more than 30 vendors that are currently on the network have been accessed.
An integrated NM platform has been constructed in Grentech's NM service center. It provides comprehensive NM maintenance service as required by the customer. At present, more than 3,000 GSM and CDMA repeaters of various types all over the country are operating on the network.
