General

Q. What is Cisco® Mobile Wireless Transport Manager (MWTM) 6.1.6?
A. Cisco® MWTM network management software provides monitoring and management capabilities to the Cisco IP Radio Access Network (IP RAN), Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) Radio Access Network (RAN) Optimization solution, Cisco IP Transfer Point (ITP) networks, and Cisco Mobile Internet Infrastructure networks. Cisco MWTM addresses the element-management requirements of mobile operators and provides fault, configuration, and troubleshooting capability as mobile operators make the transition from first-generation, fixed leased-line networks to a converged IP-based infrastructure. For more information on the Cisco IP next-generation networks for mobile operators, please visit http://www.cisco.com/go/mobile.
Q. What are the essential features and benefits of Cisco MWTM 6.1.6?
A. Table 1 lists the essential features and benefits.

Features

Benefits

Client/server architecture

Performs real-time updates of any system changes, such as inventory, events, and performance counters

Wizard-based provisioning

Accelerates time to service by providing GUI-based editing while reducing errors by checking syntax and semantics before deploying to the Cisco Mobile Wireless devices

Real-time event monitoring
• Allows the operator to immediately view events
• Greatly reduces time to resolution (TTR) by quickly identifying and resolving events

Troubleshooting dashboard
• Improves network serviceability by allowing operators to proactively assess the Cisco Mobile Wireless devices' readiness and general health
• Facilitates easier network problem identification and troubleshooting

OSS integration
• Increases productivity
• Eliminates out-of-sync environments between upstream systems and Cisco MWTM
• Networkwide understanding of the current state of the Cisco Mobile Wireless devices
• Provides northbound Extensible Markup Language (XML) APIs over Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for provisioning, events, and inventory management

Automatic device inventory
• Accelerates time to service by eliminating the need for operators to manually enter the Cisco network inventory list
• Reduces complexity because Cisco MWTM abstracts the specifics of each Cisco network element version (for example, Simple Network Management Protocol [SNMP] and command-line interface [CLI] semantics)

Web-based historical performance reporting
• Facilitates capacity planning
• Offers industry-standard HTML access

Graphical topology
• Provides detailed physical and logical connection overview of the Cisco RAN Optimization and Cisco ITP networks
• Displays end-to-end events represented in topology, allowing quick identification of problems between multiple network elements
• Facilitates troubleshooting by helping to easily identify relationships between Cisco network elements

System security and user account management
• Increases system security to restrict and protect certain potentially disruptive Cisco MWTM features to the network or to the application itself
• Helps maintain system integrity by preventing accidental or malicious operations from unauthorized users
