SMART is a telecommunication Network Management Support System designed and developed by SIRTI in compliance with recommendation M. 3010 related to Telecommunication Management Network - TMN.
The System, provides coverage of Fault, Performance and Configuration Management Functional Areas as defined in TMN.
The following Management Application Functions have been developed and are currently available:
SMART-VSR
This function allows network equipment serviceability, continuous monitoring and control.
By means the events collection, filtering and processing (eg. equipment alarms indications, state indications, monitoring signal, etc.), it performs fault location.
Moreover management of remote controls are also available.
SMART-VDR
This application allows continuous monitoring of the quality of each radio link belonging to a radio path.
Used in conjunction with the SMART-VSR function, by a cross correlation analysis of equipment faults, performance parameters on transmitted signal and of propagation data, it performs anomalies detection, fault location and a wide range of performance reports.
Maintenance staff can easily evaluate the severity of the performance degradation and the characteristics of propagation phenomena (e.g. selective or deep fading).
SMART-VDO
This function allows the monitoring of the performances of each fibre optic inside a cable.
A continuous evaluation of attenuation is performed by means of backscatter optical power measurements to provide information both on fibre degradations and on fibre faults.
The fibre data can be related by a Geographical Information System-GIS to the cable route data to allow the exact location of any identified fibre trouble optimising preventive and corrective maintenance actions.
Both dark and in service fibres can be monitored as the measurements are carried out at the out of band wavelength of 1625 nm.
The function allows cyclic automatic and interactive measurement.
When used in conjunction with the SMART-VSR function, addressed measurements can be activated by optical fine terminal alarm onset allowing discrimination between equipment faults and fibre degradation/fault.
SMART is a system designed for telecommunications operators to improve management and preventive/corrective maintenance of telecommunication equipment, radio and fibre optic networks.
Other management application function can be easily added on request.
The system developed in compliance with TMN recommendation is suitable to operate in a multivendor environment and is open to be interfaced to other TMN system allowing the best integrated use of network resources and guaranteeing top quality performances.
