MTS Remote Monitering facility

The MTS Technical Assistance Services (TAS) center in Virginia operates on a 24x7x365 telephonic support coverage schedule, which provides our customers with the confidence and knowledge that MTS resources will be available whenever they are needed for remote monitoring. In addition, MTS provides real-time monitoring of alarm conditions and immediate notification of equipment alarm activation. We will provide 24x7x365 monitoring and notification of Customer O&M technicians as necessary, in accordance with required response times.

The monitoring capabilities include current alarms monitored through the existing Nortel Switch at the Customer’s location.

The MTS Remote Monitoring system continuously recognizes system faults and alarms and automatically notifies telecommunications staff as they occur. Each message collected from monitored systems is immediately analyzed and compared with the installation-established criteria to determine the level of severity of the particular alarm. Based on established guidelines, the system will report any alarm condition through audio and visual alarm indications to the monitoring staff, who will then notify our on-call technicians. The criteria to trigger automatic notification is fully customizable and is based on any combination of Customer-specific thresholds, specific messages, time, frequency, severity, business rules, keywords, or specific events. The customization also provides monitoring tools for network management.
