MaxView® Network Management System

The Rockwell Collins MaxView® Network Management System allows our customers around the world to see the state of their entire network, control multi-vendor devices and unify disparate satellite and terrestrial networks into one view. The system allows network operators to consolidate existing equipment and next-generation networks under one management system. By providing advanced decision support capabilities to our users, the operational complexity and cost of operating a network are minimized and the quality of service is improved.

Our MaxView software solves network management challenges for complex broadcast, satellite, government and Internet Protocol TeleVision (IPTV) networks. MaxView also enables service management, the ability to combine devices and network elements into a single service for simplified automation. The software is complemented by MaxView's service creation framework-a comprehensive tool set that allows non-programmers to create drivers, customize Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) and develop complex network automation features. 

Our latest version, called MaxView 5.8, offers a redesigned architecture that enhances performance and scalability. MaxView 5.8 also includes substantial reporting capabilities that can provide advanced decision support, enabling automatically scheduled and ad hoc reports, so you can receive the information you need when you need it.
