VMS is a feature-rich, automated bandwidth, capacity, and network management system with an intuitive, user-friendly graphical user interface. VMS enables administrators and service providers to easily configure satellite networks and respond to anomalies. Much more than just a network monitor and control platform, VMS automates the carrier switching and spectrum management processes within the satellite network. These capabilities allow SCPC carriers to be resized automatically based on a variety of user-defined policies, providing on-demand services and unparalleled space segment savings.
