 Antenna Diversity
• Antenna diversity
• Uses two antennas to improve the quality and reliability of the link
• Each antenna experiences a different interference environment
• The system chooses the best received signal providing enhanced
robustness
• Antenna diversity requires antenna separation:
• Polarization - combines a pair of antennas with orthogonal polarizations
• Spatial Diversity - employs antennas that are physically separated
from one another

RADview-EMS Advanced FCAPS
Fault management
• Detects and isolates faults in network devices, initiates remedial actions, and
distributes alarm messages to other management entities in the network.

Configuration management
• Enables operators to configure, install and distribute software to all devices
across the network. In addition, the system tracks version changes and
maintains software configuration history

Accounting management
• Manages individual and group user accounts and passwords, generating
network usage reports to monitor user activities.

Performance management
• Supports real-time monitoring of QoS and CoS, producing real-time and
periodic statistics. The statistics collector compresses data to minimize
bandwidth use for management traffic and exports CSV files to OSS or third-
party management systems.

Security management
• Allows network administrators to track user activities and control the access to
network resources with a choice of security features.
