Elevating Cybersecurity In LMR Backhaul Monitoring
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, cybersecurity is paramount. Our Network Monitoring System (NMS) is at the forefront of protecting Land Mobile Radio (LMR) backhaul networks with its advanced cybersecurity features. Our solution not only addresses radio operators’ stability challenges, but also fortifies your network against potential threats.
“Most NMS systems are designed to be eye candy and are rarely used to solve issues. Our NMS is focused on keeping LMR networks functioning within the required performance envelope and solves real world problems.”
– Dan Havens, VP of Technology

Key Benefits Of Our NMS
Cut Through The Noise
Focus on elements that impact LMR network quality, such as packet performance, packet loss, latency, and jitter.
Actionable Insights
Quickly identify outages, causes, and resolutions to improve router and system performance and prevent future events.
Accessible and Easy-To-Use
Built for radio personnel to monitor and troubleshoot the backhaul—without the need for network engineering expertise or training.
How Does Our NMS Resolve Backhaul Issues?
Our system acts as an adjunct to integrated monitoring systems, providing visibility into the backhaul network with synchronized, correlated views. It breaks down metrics by path and hop, delivering quick insights into radio transport events, degraded sitelinks, packet loss, or failure events. Anomalies in path performance errors, packet loss, and excessive jitter are shown, allowing for a hop-by-hop view to pinpoint and resolve issues.

- Events
- Outages
- Degradation
Data Recording
Our system records data so network operators can look back in time and easily identify network failures and anomalies.
Vendor Agnostic
Our solution works across all major LMR vendors (Motorola, Harris, Tait) and backhaul vendors (Nokia, Cisco, Juniper).
