Network Intelligence

ProVision is your complete Element Management System for

all current Aviat products and partner solutions.

ProVision gives network operators more control and better

security at a lower cost. It integrates field-proven control and
response processes with in-depth intelligence about microwave
network operations.

By reducing total network downtime and expensive on-site

configuration, ProVision can lead to immediately, significantly
lower costs for network management and operation.

The ProVision solution is co-developed with Aviat Networks

microwave and WiMAX solutions. Operators use ProVision to fix
network problems and analyze system status directly, with its
detailed, intuitive graphical interface and simplified
control processes.

With a user-friendly GUI, simplified system administration, and

Aviat global support, ProVision manages over 200 customer
networks worldwide.

Smart Network Visibility Strategic Network Integration

ProVision is the only Element Management System you
need, supporting all current Aviat and partner products up
to 20 client terminals. Support includes:
• Eclipse™, Eclipse Packet Node, TRuepoint®, and
Constellation™ microwave radios
• WiMAX networks, including StarMAX Base Stations,
Subscriber Stations and the Wireless Services
Gateway (WSG)
• Aviat EfficientSite™ site management
• Generic Device Support (GDS) fault management for
partner products, including: Adtran,
• Asentria, Bayly, Benning, Eltek, Fujitsu, Loop, Multitel,
Sagem, Tejas, and Tellabs.
ProVision can be a standalone Element Management
System (EMS) or can be integrated into a Operational
Support System (OSS). Operators can also integrate it
into a standards-based OSS using feature-rich, easy to
configure Northbound Interfaces (NBI). These provide
data for events, performance, configuration/inventory,
and network topology.
ProVision smooths network rollout and expansion. It
provides network auto auto-discovery, identifying and
deploying many Aviat devices automatically.
Customers switching from StarView to ProVision
benefit from the StarView Migration tool, by eliminating
data re-entry.

• Legacy Aviat microwave radios such as Altium, XP4,

MegaStar and MicroStar

ProVision and Eclipse – Vitally
Integrated
ProVision is the strongest network management system
available for the Eclipse and Packet Node platform.
Eclipse support features include:
• GUI-based end-to-end Eclipse circuit discovery
and provisioning
• Detailed Ethernet throughput monitoring
• Inventory reports capturing all serial and part numbers
for every Eclipse node in the network
• ProVision automatically backs up all Eclipse node
configuration
• Network configuration profiles define common
attributes such as SNMP TRAP destination or SNTP
configuration
Security and Rapid Event Notification
ProVision provides a vital layer of security for your
network, ensuring that your customers’ traffic is
transmitted. Many devices can be configured in ProVision
with encrypted strong security.
To notify operators when problems strike, ProVision has
dynamic, highly visible event updating. Detailed event help
includes probable cause and recommended
repair actions.
Event pre-filtering ensures that operators only need
to analyze serious network-impacting events, without
repetition. Sophisticated event notifications (audio, email,
text message) send vital event data to the operators
without delay.
