Use Case Scenarios
A hurricane has just hit the coast, causing high winds,
torrential rain and flooding. While Google Earth aids in tracking the weather patterns, EGLView adds a layer of live status updates to the live map interface.- EGLView provides a view of multiple sites or networks separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles. From a single location, EGLView helps operators self-diagnose site issues before they become maintenance problems. This reduces the need for on-site technician visits and provides visibility on system performance and usage from a centralized location.
About UEM
The UEM (Unified Event Manager) is a standard part of the Motorola 7.x NM platform. It displays alarms and conditions that exist with network hardware and it can be configured to send notifications about those alarms.
How Genesis Fits In
The Genesis UEM Enhancement is an additional piece of software on our GenGET solution, but no additional hardware is required. The solution receives the UEM traps through a connection to the NBI (North Bound Interface) and archives every trap and alert from the UEM along with traps and alerts from any other SNMP enabled network device you designate into Genesis databases for as long as is desired for reporting purposes.
EGLView - Event Geographic Locator
EGLView maximizes the sophisticated mapping power of Google™ Earth to perform useful visual enhancements, such as panning, tilting and zooming. Graphical representations of tower sites (Unified Event Manager) or subscriber units (Motorola Outdoor Locator System/MUPS) appear according to their geophysical location on the map. More than simple eye candy, EGLView provides valuable at-a-glance information to control rooms and network operations centers.
Instant Site Status Views
EGLView adds another dynamic layer to Google Earth, enhancing its existing display of live atmospheric conditions, such as rainfall, hail and lightning strikes, weather forecasts, as well as traffic and other information...all from one user interface.
Information a Click Away
EGLView combines tower status messages with Google Earth features, such as weather or traffic conditions. In the Genesis UEM Enhancement, EGLView will show how all sites are affected when a storm is brewing. Each icon represents a tower site. Colors (green, yellow, red) represent the current status of each location. Clicking on an icon will expand a tree view which provides more detailed information on a site.
