Hi Folks,I am looking for recommendations on an NMS system for use in managing a multivendor wireless infrastructure. Specifically we run mostly Motorola point to point, point to multipoint(Canopy platform) and mesh radios devices We have looked at the One Point Wireless Manager but this product in our evaluation doesn't seem to be ready for prime time and also has the limitation of only being able to manage Motorola. Ideally we would have something that could be used for configuration management in a multi vendor environment as well as recieve SNMP traps about RF issues such as latency and jitter. I am curious to what other shops are using out there. If this is a top better suited to another list, my apologies and any pointers to a different list would be greatly appreciated. Thanks JT
That's an excellent question, Freddie. I am also interested in what people are using for WISP Infrastructure. We also use Motorola PTP, Canopy, as well as Airstream, Ubiquiti, Trango, and WaveRider. Regards, Shon Elliott Senior Network Engineer unWired Broadband, Inc. Freddie Sessler wrote:

This list is quite active: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
This list is quite active:
+1 for Wispa. Several knowledgeable people on there, and it's quite active. Lately both NANOG and WISPA have had very high signal. Hopefully it keeps up! :)
We use Intermapper. It's very flexible, and offers a 'wireless probe' package, which covers Motorola Canopy and their PTP products, along with several other hardware vendors (Alvarion, Atmel, MikroTik, etc). Also, it's written in Java, and runs on just about anything. It does monitoring and (very basic) graphing, but not management. They have a pretty well documented and simple scripting language for writing new probes as well, which comes in very handy. I've written probes for several Dragonwave products, and submitted them to the community. Their support is also very responsive, which is always important.
