xMax® xMonitor®
NETWORK MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING UTILITY
The xMonitor® Network Management and Monitoring Utility is a key component of the xMax® CN7000 Mobile Control Center
(xMCC). xMonitor:
• Monitors the status and health of all base stations, xMCC
elements, and VoIP core elements.
• Provides end-to-end IP network management and monitoring
services.
• Enables support personnel to quickly gather information about
xMax networks.
xMonitor is a Web-based application that is installed at the
operator’s Network Operation Center (NOC) enabling local and
remote management of network status.
Running as a live application, xMonitor continuously collects data
from the network, updating the aggregated information without
user intervention. It can be programmed to display specific views
around the clock—providing an at-a-glance, heads-up display
from which to survey the network.
xMonitor provides several levels of information. The xMonitor
Dashboard view, presented on startup, provides an overview of
all configured access points, other network components (both
active and inactive), and their real-time status. Each base station shown in the Dashboard view is expandable to display details
about its technical configuration as well as dynamic statistics related to its operation. It displays detailed, high-resolution data on a
channel-by-channel basis.
Whenever issues from the network and its components occur, xMonitor triggers an alarm. Within seconds, xMonitor generates and
displays alarms and notifies network operators by email. As a result, administrators will never miss service-affecting issues. Support
staff can rapidly address network issues by drilling down to access the required pertinent data.
Communication between xMonitor and the xMax Mobile Control Center occurs over the wired backhaul connection, placing no
load on the wireless link.
xMonitor stores its data in a SQL relational database. The resulting statistics can be examined by:
• Using the built-in graphical interface
• Producing reports based on the SQL data
• Issuing SQL commands at a command prompt at a console or in a terminal window
xMonitor also includes a report generator that produces detailed, graphical representations of system data. This provides extensive
comparative information that is useful for support personnel to supervise network activity, diagnose overall network health, and
optimize operations.
xMonitor xDMap is an advanced feature that is used to fine tune or troubleshoot network performance. The xDrive tool captures
GIS and QPSK data during a drive test. The xMonitor then enables uploading of this data file in the xDMap view. xMonitor generates
a map with selectable views of Channels, Heatmap, and Signal for analysis. The maps can also be exported as PNG or JPG graphic
files.
World’s First Carrier Class Cognitive Radio Network
xMonitor is part of the xMax carrier-class cognitive radio network that includes a complete product line of high-performance access
points, fixed and mobile personal WiFi hotspots, mobile control centers (MCC’s) as well as network management and deployment
tools. xMax is an end-to-end Internet Protocol (IP) network solution that incorporates xG’s patented cognitive radio technologies to
deliver the first fully-mobile VoIP and broadband network that works with any smartphone, laptop, tablet, or other commercial WiFi
or IP-enabled device — while offering quality of service (QoS) and, fixed low latency. xMax allows carriers to deploy networks that
are less expensive to build, quicker to roll out, and easier to maintain. The result is increased cash flow, better margins, and lower
network total cost of ownership.
