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 eld-proven control and
response processes with in-depth intelligence about microwave
network operations.
By reducing total network downtime and expensive on-site
conguration, ProVision can lead to immediately, signicantly
lower costs for network management and operation.
The ProVision solution is co-developed with Aviat Networks
microwave and WiMAX solutions. Operators use ProVision to x
network problems and analyze system status directly, with its
detailed, intuitive graphical interface and simplied
control processes.
With a user-friendly GUI, simplied system administration, and
Aviat global support, ProVision manages over 200 customer
networks worldwide.

STRATEGIC NETWORK INTEGRATION
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
congure Northbound Interfaces (NBI). These provide
data for events, performance, conguration/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
benet from the StarView Migration tool, by eliminating
data re-entry.
