DataPath, a provider of  communications solutions, announced today the integration of the DataPath MaxView Enterprise Network Management Software (NMS) with the Optimal Satcom Enterprise Capacity Manager (ECM). The combined solution automates the planning and configuration of satellite capacity and ground networks. The initial integration was delivered to a satellite network service provider.

The Optimal Satcom ECM system allows satellite operators and service providers to plan and schedule the use of available satellite capacity. ECM assists in identifying available owned or leased capacity, designing and optimizing networks, establishing link budgets, generating transmission plans with carrier and terminal technical parameters, assigning power and bandwidth resources for the carriers, and optimizing their performance. MaxView Enterprise from DataPath is a solution that enables operators to see the state of their entire network, control multi-vendor devices, automate complex service tasks, and unify disparate systems into one common operating view.

“This integration of capabilities allowed for our customer to efficiently plan, configure, and execute service missions,” said Brad Majeres, Chief Operating Officer at DataPath. “The collaboration between the ECM and MaxView tools highlights the value in providing extensible solutions to directly address a customer’s challenge.”
