RE: WISP NMS recommendations

[Tim Huffman <Tim () bobbroadband com>]

We use Intermapper. It's very flexible, and offers a 'wireless probe' package, which covers Motorola Canopy and their 
PTP products, along with several other hardware vendors (Alvarion, Atmel, MikroTik, etc). Also, it's written in Java, 
and runs on just about anything.

It does monitoring and (very basic) graphing, but not management. They have a pretty well documented and simple 
scripting language for writing new probes as well, which comes in very handy. I've written probes for several 
Dragonwave products, and submitted them to the community.

Their support is also very responsive, which is always important.
