UHP SMART REDUNDANCY Local-/Geo- Redundancy and Site Diversity
o Smart Redundancy NMS dynamically assigns network roles to universal controllers of the Active Teleport and ensures the highest service availability
o If no more universal routers available for system failover on the Active Teleport, the Smart Redundancy moves all network roles to the Standby Teleport
o Smart Redundancy avoids service degradation caused by rain fade by automatic switchover of the Teleports depending on the current atmospheric conditions
o Smart Redundancy supports M:N Redundancy and Site Diversity configurations, while uses just one set of SW licenses and ensures tremendous CAPEX savings
