SuprOS
Comprehensive fleet management for distribution automation and communication solutions

Description

SuprOS enables you to:

• Manage multiple classes of devices (TRO600/TropOS wireless routers, RTU500 control devices, etc.) through their entire life cycle in the distribution automation network.
• Analyze coverage and performance during network roll-out to determine strategies (e.g., adding routers to provide fill-in coverage, for network optimization).
• Monitor the network on an ongoing basis using a variety of views, including a map view of TropOS gateways and nodes using Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and local raster maps.
• Gain quick access to critical fault, performance, and statistical data about the network.
• Optimize by generating detailed historical trend information for use in network optimization and troubleshooting.
• Upgrade, performing configuration changes and software upgrades.
• Get over-the-air (OTA) diagnostics and recovery of network failures. 

How it works

A key advantage of the SuprOS fleet management system is the ease with which initial network deployments, expansions, and reconfigurations take place. Using advanced auto-discovery, network devices such as mesh routers can automatically find one another, streamlining network deployment. 

During network deployment, SuprOS collects network performance data that enables the network operator to determine optimization strategies and maximize performance.

SuprOS increases the efficiency of IT personnel by simplifying complex tasks such as wireless mesh network configuration, performance analysis, and system optimization. IT management is presented with a comprehensive operational dashboard and can drill down for more detailed performance data to plan optimization strategies. 

Network-wide software updates and provisioning can be achieved via a single command from SuprOS, accelerating a potentially time-consuming task and preventing service disruptions. 

SuprOS easily integrates into complex core network architectures, fitting seamlessly into a network management hierarchy. It collects management, inventory, and monitoring data that can be extracted using a northbound RESTAPI. In addition, SuprOS data can be converted to actionable insights with easy integration into popular tools like Tableau and Microsoft Power BI.

Features

• Network-wide visibility provides insight into performance, usage, and RF environment.
• Simple, powerful search retrieves information on any device, anywhere in the network.
• Seamless integration with Google Maps, OpenStreetMaps, or a local mapping solution offers real-time views of router locations and visibility into operational data.
• Auto-discovery reduces the need for extensive pre-planning and streamlines deployments.
• Network analytics accelerate the introduction of new services through access to historical trending data.
