Custom Products
NuDesign supports OEMs, vendors, service providers and system integrators with its SNMP technology development tools, SNMP management software applications, components and consulting services, helping them fulfill the management, monitoring, provisioning and configuration needs of modern Internet infrastructure and its IP based services.
NuDesign customers operate within the core and on the edge of Internet, deploying services via the DSL, DOCSIS cable modems, metro Ethernet fiber and wireless access methods.
Part of NuDesign mission is to help customers define custom SNMP applications that become bundled with their equipment or service. For example NuDesign’s Visual MIBrowser Pro has been adapted to accommodate custom extensions in functionality. It already provides rich SNMP application functions used in device, network or service configuration, monitoring, testing and management. By adding specific to customer application functions and customizing the resulting product’s “look and feel” we are providing an OEM version of the extended NuDesign product or a completely new product, directed at a specific vertical market.
As an example, please see the news item announcing release of SNMP Manager (snmpXplorer), based on NuDesign’s Visual MIBrowser Pro for avionics industry and used for analyzing SNMP MIB data from End Systems residing on aircraft AFDX / ARINC 664 data networks.
NuDesign has also supported initiatives for the management of Cable TV plant, utilizing the SCTE (Society of Cable and Telecommunications Engineers) DOCSIS and HMS standards.
The Visual MIB Browser Pro for HMS is designed to support SCTE's HMS standard for the SNMP monitoring and management of inside and outside HFC cable plants. It is a basic HMS SNMP Manager, and it is directed at both, the vendors supplying SNMP managed, HMS compliant products to MSO's, as well as network operators themselves. NuDesign welcomes OEM inquiries and works with vendors on adding device specific applets within the Visual SNMP MIB Browser Pro for HMS framework.
Further, for the CATV communication industry NuDesign's OEM’able Management and Monitoring technologies focus on the following classes of solutions:
- SNMP Proxy Agent for Headend Devices - supplying SCTE HMS SNMP compliant native or proxy agents for headend devices to enable them for HMS SNMP management, either embedded or PC based solutions.
- HFC Network Outside Plant Management - based on the SCTE HMS standard while allowing integration of legacy systems.
- IP Packet Services Monitor and/or Alarm and Event Monitor - HFC network multi service monitoring and diagnosis tools.
- HFC Infrastructure Monitor - HFC network diagnosis tool with RF reverse path analysis based on CM / CMTS derived information, plus optional integration with OEM customer's RF spectrum analysis systems.

Similarly for wireless and broadband Ethernet fiber access operators the continuous challenge is to quickly establish a presence in new cities, performing high-quality installations and rapidly begin rolling out innovative services. Next, they must provide excellent customer service in a complex technical environment. Finally, to maximize their return on relationships with subscribers, Providers have to differentiate themselves with higher value service offerings.
Such environment creates a very competitive marketplace, one where management software becomes a strategic part of this business by being an enabler of services.
NuDesign develops device and network management technologies that enable and automate these functions, helping put provisioning in the hands of subscribers, including the ability to add enhanced services, offering advanced monitoring and policing services to enable differentiated classes of service and finally enabling a 'pay for use' model by exposing the right information to billing systems.
