Comprehensive tools for

Operating a network and all its components

reliably calls for a comprehensive

management tool. Detailed configuration

and commissioning tools help simplify the

complexity of the network and bring it

down to a ‘manageable level’.

• MaCI cuts down the amount of mainte-

nance and commissioning work carried

out by service personnel.

But MaCI does more than support

operational aspects. Data on the level of

capacity utilisation and workload of the

network infrastructure provides network

operators with crucial decision-making

information for future expansions and

upgrades.

• MaCI provides decision-makers with all

the necessary basic information they need

for planning their networks.
