Service topology with visualization of the service groups associated with a specific site and core.
Visualization of the downstream QAM channels associated with a given data service group
Service group KPI summary view
Service topology for visualization of the list of modems as included in a given downstream service group
List view for visualization of modems as included in a given downstream service group
Service topology as applies to given cable modem/subscriber
Visualization of the upstream QAM channels associated with a given data service group
Cable modem overview visual including information related to the vendor, type, firmware version of the device itself, its memory and cpu utilization, its CMTS connectivity as well as e.g. ping latency and jitter status
Overview of the downstream channels as associated with a given cable modem added all relevant KPI's related to the characteristics (e.g. RX level) , quality (e.g. MER) , integrity (corrected packets, uncorrectable packets) and utilisation (in %) of each of these.
Overview of the upstream channels as associated with a given cable modem added all relevant KPI's related to the characteristics (e.g. Tx/Rx level) , quality (e.g. MER) , integrity (corrected packets, uncorrectable packets) and utilization (in %) of each of these.
Service group dashboard
Service group channel utilization dashboard incl. Top-X overview of service groups with highest channel utilization.
Visualization of the entire network using interactive dashboard. Default presenting information like structure, status, number of sites/cores/service groups/subs, service segments, etc. . Additional filtering using Generic Query Interface (GQI) component supporting visualization of e.g. service segments with modem quantity or channel utilization exceeding an arbitrary threshold, impacted by group delay, reflection or …. Supporting key workflows associated with network segmentation, capacity planning, plant realignment or proactive network maintenance.
Visualization of the entire network using interactive dashboard, applied on the service group level analytical coloring linked to modem count.
Visualization of the network using interactive dashboard, applied on the service group level analytical coloring linked to modem count as well as filtered the visualization of the service groups to show only these with a modem count of 175 or higher.
Visualization of the network using interactive dashboard, applied on the service group level analytical coloring linked to modem count as well as filtered the visualization of the service groups to show only these with a modem count of 175 or higher and an offline modem count higher of 44 or more.
Concurrent filtering for segments with excessive share of modems operating outside of engineering spec for downstream SNR/MER and featuring a low share of modems operating outside of engineering downstream Rx power pointing field operations directly towards segments impacted by faulty outside plant elements, loose connectors or shielding issues.
Concurrent filtering for segments with excessive share of modems operating outside of engineering spec for upstream SNR/MER and featuring a low share of modems operating outside of engineering upstream Rx power pointing field operations directly towards segments impacted by ingress noise.
