NetHawk Launches Multi-user Monitoring Platform for Mobile, IMS Technologies

(Product News, 28 Apr 2008)

NetHawk has released a brand new product concept, the NetHawk M5 Sampo, which is based on its NetHawk M5 monitoring platform. NetHawk M5 Sampo can host up to six simultaneous users providing each with the same performance as a dedicated stand-alone analyser. It supports all interfaces in GSM, UMTS, WiMAX, IMS and LTE network, and utilizes the performance of the latest multi-core processor computing platforms efficiently.

The NetHawk M5 Sampo is suitable for test labs with multiple users or several small teams of test engineers testing several technologies each separately or all together as an IOT configuration. For the multi-user environment, NetHawk M5 Sampo holds up to six floating licenses that can be used from anywhere in the customer's network and from any operating system. Moreover, the customer can optimize his investments by sharing the test networks geographically. The testers can work with the same M5 Sampo from different sites and locations as easily as being all in the same lab. Through the effective shared usage of the all the hardware NetHawk M5 Sampo offers a significantly lower operating cost than any other test system. One NetHawk M5 Sampo can hold up to six adapters supporting up to 48x E1s or 12x STM-1s or 12x Ethernet interfaces. This means lower costs for maintenance and reduced link cost per user. NetHawk M5 Sampo utilizes multi-core processor boards and parallel processing resulting in the same performance per user as a dedicated stand alone analyser.

NetHawk M5 Sampo unit offers decoding of any protocol in any interface of GSM, UMTS, WiMAX, IMS or LTE. The Call&Session Analysis application enables real-time correlation of data from several interfaces reducing the total time needed for root-cause analysis of the network. The Call&Session Statistics application provides an overall view of quality of service of the monitored network. NetHawk M5 Sampo also provides excellent filtering options for increased data rates in today's networks. Counter and KPI results are shown in a clear graphical UI, and throughput, delay, and jitter measurements are available with a few mouse clicks, making monitoring of the network performance easier.
