[Via Satellite 09-08-2015] Telenor Satellite Broadcasting (TSBc) has selected Skyline Communications’ DataMiner to automate its operations end-to-end. DataMiner reads service configurations from TSBc’s existing service configuration database and, with that information, provisions the entire network in a fully automated manner. This includes the provisioning of all network elements such as receivers, encoders, transmitters, etc. regardless of vendor or type of device.

DataMiner also adds a unified service monitoring and an end-to-end service orchestration layer on top of the different technologies in TSBc’s infrastructure. Service flows with dynamic path and alarm highlighting provide a comprehensive view on the service flow across different network devices from AppearTV, Bridge Technologies, and others. Alarm correlation rules generate service-oriented alarms that are automatically translated into trouble tickets by DataMiner.
