MANAGEMENT FOR WIRELESS  

AND REMOTE NETWORKS

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 3600 Air Manager is a powerful and easy-to-use network operations 
system that manages Alcatel-Lucent wireless and remote access networks, as well as wired and 
wireless infrastructures from a wide range of third-party manufacturers.

Offering unprecedented clarity and 
centralized control to effectively man-
age global enterprise infrastructures, 
OmniVista 3600 lets service desk 
personnel triage connectivity issues so 
that IT engineers can focus on proactively 
optimizing network performance.

Through a centralized and intuitive user 
interface, OmniVista 3600 provides 
real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, 
historical reporting, and fast, efficient 
troubleshooting. It also offers various 
dashboard views for quickly diagnosing 
potential problems and to better manage 
RF coverage, strengthen wireless security 
and demonstrate regulatory compliance.

OmniVista 3600 Air Manager VisualRF™ 
location and mapping offers network-wide 
views of the entire RF environment. Maps 
of Wi-Fi coverage and the underlying 
wired topology show a clear and accurate 
picture of who is on the network, their 
location and how the network is perform-
ing. Additionally, OmniVista 3600 offers 
overlays on client health to diagnose 
issues specific to a client, a floor plan or 
specific location.

The OmniVista 3600 Air Manager 
RAPIDS™ rogue detection works with the 
RFProtect™ wireless intrusion protection 
software module available in AOS-W to 
collect rogue AP, rogue client and wireless 
intrusion events as well as mitigate 
rogue activity across wired and wireless 
infrastructures.

The wireless data collected by RAPIDS  
is correlated with wired network data  
to identify the most significant and 
relevant threats, while greatly reducing 
false-positives and strengthening  
network security.
 
Available as software or a combined hard-
ware and software appliance, OmniVista 
3600 reduces cost and complexity, 
improves service quality, and enables IT to 
make intelligent, well-informed decisions 
about network design.
