The BOSS LINK Manager® takes this variety of uncoordinated and independent platforms necessary for operations and integrates them into a single synchronized screen. "Best of class" broadcast practices, gained over decades of experience, are "built-in" employing a user friendly GUI to reduce complexity and time to deployment. Equipment agnostic the BOSS LINK Manager® controls legacy as well as emerging technologies (DTM, IP/MPLS) and can be adapted to just about any protocol. Used by world class broadcasters and carriers for over a decade to configure, schedule and dynamically control video, audio and data networks the BOSS LINK Manager® NMS has become the "de facto" bench mark of broadcast transmission management among broadcasters worldwide. Moving real time quality assured media and video, managed, monitored and controlled, more simply and quickly allows these carriers and broadcasters to realize higher revenues and profits. Any matter of protocol connection can be made and protected from point-to-point to point-to-multipoint and all network activities can be precisely planned including scheduling, bandwidth management, and monitoring. Assurance and reliability is provided through multitudinous time proven protection modes including auto rerouting on path failure or conflicts.
The ability to provision, activate, and confirm high quality, high bandwidth video transmissions over wide area networks with disparate equipment and incompatible element/network control systems is a slow and inefficient process. As a result, higher revenue producing and higher margin video service availability continues to be very limited for carriers and broadcasters.
BOSS LINK Manager® unifies network management across broadcast and telecom networks, enabling transfer of real-time, on-demand high bandwidth video with high quality, resulting in greater revenues with higher profit margins.
BOSS LINK Manager® is a technology and protocol agnostic Broadcast Operations Support System that provides a wide range of features and functionality, including point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections for IP, HD-SDI, SDI, ASI, T1/E1/DS1, Ethernet VLAN and VPN, VPLS and VLL QOS environments. All network transmissions can be precisely configured, scheduled, bandwidth-managed and tracked, with automatic rerouting on path failures or conflicts. BOSS LINK Manager® improves the management of service planning, enabling deployment in multi-service, multi-vendor, multi-technology, and multi-protocol environments. BOSS LINK Manager® can scale from a simple network consisting of just video adaption layer with its "Lite" configuration based on a "Soft Touch Panel" up to carrier grade multiserver and cloud based application.
