Wireless Projects

GE Vernova’s Industrial Communications Professional Services Process are based on years of experience and several deployments across multiple applications and industries, GE Vernova has developed a Professional Services Process (PSP) that allows us to partner with our customers for successful project implementations. GE Vernova’s PSP was developed over several years based on extensive experience in various industrial environments. It is a comprehensive process designed to be very application specific and is enhanced after every project

Regardless of the size or scope of a project, GE Vernova assigns a project manager to oversee all of the activities and associated details to ensure a successful project implementation. The details below outline a typical project management process:

Phase 1: Defining Scope of Work

The first phase of a network communications project is to gather information about the customer’s requirements. The following activities will take place during the definition phase of a project:

Capture the strategic objectives of the project.
Meet with key stakeholders to collect system requirements which can range from latency and throughput, protocols, coverage areas, security, and so on.
Provide customers with a requirements document and initial system concept design.
Set up and install cell-enabled radios to comply with existing contract requirements. Will arrive on-site ready to activate to a customer’s cellular network and servers.

Phase 2: Analyzing the Environment

The analysis phase of the communications project allows engineers o validate the initial concept design and verify that it meets the customer’s expectations by providing the following:

Traffic modeling analysis to support the network throughput and latency needs.
Network and security analysis to identify the most appropriate network topology and possible security risks coupled with preventative solutions.
Predictive reports, such as propagation coverage, spectrum interference and mitigation plans for potential system failures.

Phase 3: Developing the Final Network Design

During the design phase, the network design is finalized and ready to be implemented to meet the customer’s scope of work and requirements. GE Vernova can provide the following during this stage:

On-site audits to validate design assumptions and RF site surveys to verify coverage models.
Channel planning to meet spectrum requirements and the creation of a bill of materials and drafting plans to document subsystem components.
Detailed system, network management and application design plans based on survey results to create the desired network topology.

Phase 4: Project Implementation

During project implementation, the following activities take place:

File regulatory agency required spectrum documentation and procure all necessary equipment.
Assemble the network communications devices, conduct factory assessment testing, oversee commissioning of the equipment, and complete network audits to ensure system performance.
Prepare knowledge transfer and training materials on system operations and maintenance.
Provide on-site training for a smooth transition of the project.

Phase 5: Supporting our Customers

GE Vernova can continue support of the implemented system and provide the following services:

MDS PulseNET

Network Management Software

Purpose Built for Industrial Communications

With over two million devices installed around the world and 30+ years of experience, GE Vernova is aware of the challenges our customers face when it comes to effectively managing their communication networks. MDS PulseNET software provides the insight and detailed system performance allowing you to intelligently and proactively manage your radio communications network.

Optimized for MDS Communication Products

MDS PulseNET is designed specifically for MDS devices and can also support a host of other devices.

Out-of-the-box functionally for MDS devices
Pre-loaded device performance rules and thresholds eliminate customer guesswork
Application redundancy and Geo-redundancy through HA (high availability) configuration support

High Availability

MDS pulseNET Enterprise allows for high availability configuration which can reduce downtime to provide 24X7X365 access. The software may be installed in multiple hardware configurations that provide flexibility and redundancy.

Additional features include:

Management by exception
Pre-built, intuitive workflows
User-configurable navigation
Multiple pre-defined report options
SQL or Oracle “Complimentary”
Database for third party application integrations

Robust Monitoring of Important Performance Parameter

The software is designed to monitor the critical elements of a communications network. The software helps prioritize corrective actions for vast amounts of raw data that is created and stored over time. It can also trigger specific actions based on warning thresholds, such as sending messages to trouble ticketing systems or other management systems. Additionally, these event-triggering thresholds can be easily changed within the software to meet unique customer requirements. Historical performance data is available for several parameters including:

Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
Signal Noise Ratio (SNR)
Error rate
Data throughput
Round-trip delay time
Transmitter power
Changes in modulation scheme
GPS satellite connectivity and coordinate tracking

MDS PulseNET provides easy to review radio device performance screens showing the critical radio parameters such as: RSSI, SNR BER, Throughput, and Availability.

Easy Installation & Rapid Deployment

MDS PulseNET software requires minimal effort to install and operate, provides pre-built specific device warning thresholds to eliminate the guesswork, and provides visibility into radio communications that have historically been unmanaged.

Intuitive installation and administrative set-up
Automatic device discovery
Out-of-box, pre-defined and manageable number of alerts
Integrated with MDS LaunchNET™ supporting user selection of “one-touch” and “zero-touch” device provisioning
Optimized for Virtual and Cloud based servers

MDS PulseNET software provides multiple, concurrent, role-based logins through a web interface so that each user is able to see exactly what they need to fulfill their individual responsibilities. MDS PulseNET also provides the operator with immediate access to performance trending graphs through the same simple navigation scheme. It normalizes the views for disparate technologies into simplistic and easy-to-use dashboards. The main dashboard provides a high level status of each set of functional components being monitored.

Once your system is properly configured, it can automatically discover your network devices, assign licenses to the devices and begin monitoring the network. When used with MDS LaunchNET provisioning tool, new provisioned devices may be automatically added into PulseNET Enterprise for a complete and seamless network management solution.

The following GE Vernova MDS devices can be monitored by MDS PulseNET (minimum firmware version in parentheses):
