Abstract:

A wireless network management system for controlling a network of antennas including multiple antennas located at multiple sites includes a controller remotely located from the network of antennas for generating an internet protocol address and establishing an internet protocol connection to a data network in communication with the network of antennas. The controller provides control signals for controlling antenna operating parameters for each of the antennas at each of the multiple sites. The system further includes a user interface coupled to the controller for selecting ones of the antennas and establishing selected antenna operating parameters based upon the creation of a group of antennas and a created schedule.

Abstract:

A cellular telecommunications system and methods of monitoring, control and communication within such a system. In one aspect redundancy is provided by a second mode of communication for control signals should the primary mode be unavailable. In one embodiment a secondary wireless network is provided in case of failure of a backhaul link. This allows the control of ancillary equipment in case of unavailability of the primary mode of communication. In another aspect continuity of telephony signals may be provided in a cellular communications system by utilising one or more wireless link between base stations to convey telephony signals normally conveyed via a backhaul link.
