Flexible Deployment to Fit Your Security Needs

We understand that every utility has unique IT requirements and security protocols. To ensure a seamless fit for your organization, the MMB NMS offers three versatile deployment models designed to balance operational agility with robust protection:

  • Cloud-based Service: Leverage a secure, scalable, and fully managed infrastructure that allows your team to focus on network performance rather than server maintenance.
  • On-Premises: Ideal for utilities with strict IT or regulatory security policies, this option provides total local control over your data and system environment.
  • Hybrid: Combine the rapid flexibility of the cloud with the localized control of an on-site installation to meet complex architectural needs.

Technical Integration

  • Interfaces: REST APIs, SNMP support.
  • Security: TLS-encrypted links, role-based access controls.
  • Compatibility: Designed to integrate with MMB Wi-SUN Border Routers, Collectors/Mesh Extenders, Nodes, and 3rd-party Wi-SUN certified devices.

Overview

MMB’s Network Management System (NMS) is a robust, cloud-ready, or on- premises platform specifically engineered to simplify the complexities of large- scale Wi-SUN FAN deployments. Whether you are managing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), smart city initiatives, or industrial IoT applications, the NMS provides the high-level intelligence and granular control necessary to maximize uptime and securely scale your network.

Total Visibility and Control from a Single Dashboard

A network is only as strong as your ability to manage it. The final video in our series introduces MMB’s Network Management System. We provide a guided tour of the software platform that gives you a bird’s-eye view of your entire deployment – making onboarding, real-time diagnostics, and Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates simple and efficient.

Key Takeaways:

  • Zero-touch provisioning for rapid node deployment.

  • Real-time network topology maps and health metrics.

  • Secure, scalable OTA updates to future-proof your devices with Wi-SUN 1.1 features.
