DataMiner deployed to monitor Russian earth station for satellite TV January 2015 Skyline Communications announces that one of the leading telecommunications operators in Russia and CIS countries has deployed the DataMiner end-to-end multi-vendor network management platform to monitor and control the equipment in its satellite earth station in Moscow, Russia. V-Lux Group acted as a system integrator of the project.
One of the leading
telecommunications operators
in Russia and CIS countries
has recently announced the
launch of a new satellite TV
brand. 160 TV channels in
six languages will be
available to the
subscribers, with support of
advanced functions such as
pausing, video on demand,
etc. The satellite
television broadcast signal
will be carried by the
spacecraft ABS-2. 95% of the
population of Russia, from
Kaliningrad to Vladivostok,
will be able to receive the
digital signal.
The DataMiner solution at
the earth station spans
across a wide variety of
products from various
industry vendors (such as
CPI, Symmetricom, Newtec,
Vertex, etc.) and provides
fully unified remote
monitoring and control of
all system components, along
with comprehensive fault and
performance management.
All equipment is now
consolidated in one
intuitive overview. This
includes easy navigation
with bubble-up and
drill-down maps, block
diagrams of all system
components with alarm color
coding, and real-time
display of key metrics. The
entire UI is designed in
DataMiner Visual Overview,
which enables operators to
create and edit their UIs
instantly with Microsoft
Visio®, and to apply changes
on the fly without affecting
the ongoing operation.
“This is a unique project
that provides a completely
new product for Russia,
combining the advantages of
satellite TV and mobile
communications,” said Bart
Reynaert, Sales Manager at
Skyline Communications.
“Customers in remote areas
will receive high-quality TV
content that was previously
available only to IPTV users
in large cities with a
well-developed
telecommunications
infrastructure. Deployment
of the powerful
next-generation end-to-end
multi-vendor network
management software
DataMiner is of utmost
importance for such projects
– considering the fierce
competition in the telecom
market, ensuring the quality
and availability of services
is vital. DataMiner not only
provides fully
user-definable interactive
UIs, but also goes straight
across all possible
technology and vendor
domains. DataMiner is truly
the first solution in the
industry that provides a
single consolidated
management platform for the
entire operation.”
