Zeetta Networks’ NetOS Rapide™ is a network controller
designed specifically to enable and control the fast setup of
temporary or “pop-up” networks.
This allows Zeetta customers to create solutions and services that are truly
multi-purpose, adaptable and re-usable while providing all the user-group
specific network services required from a single solution in a box and retaining
the flexibility for on-day customisation. NetOS Rapide™-in-a-Box is a complete
temporary network solution combining NetOS Rapide Rapide™ software in a
portable flight case with a selection of WiFi Access Points.
It’s a future that maximises a network’s efficiency by forming
a single, virtualised network out of your multi-technoogy
architecture, before then slicing that network to create
independent sub-networks for use by different groups of users.
The network can then automatically respond to varying levels
of demand across the network as they occur, and dynamically
allocate appropriate levels of service and bandwidth to where
it’s needed.
It’s the way all networks should be.

OFFERING
Figure 1. NetOS RapideTM-in-a-Box Combined Software and hardware solution for temporary networks
The ability to rapidly deliver temporary or “pop-up” networks that
are flexible, re-deployable and secure is a major challenge for many
businesses. Typically, each network will require multi-tenant use,
differentiated multi-technology service requirements and bandwidth
needs. Temporary networks require specific configuration to deliver
these services, which can be time consuming and may not make best
use of a mix of vendors and technologies to deliver value to the users.
Businesses need to automate the delivery of their network services,
monitor those services and manage the service-levels or quality of those
services.
WiFi only or LAN only networks are usually not sufficient to deliver
these complex needs. Moreover, the investment in equipment,
configuration and monitoring does not offer a good return on
investment.
Without a radically different approach to creating, deploying and
managing these temporary networks the value they deliver can be
marginal due to high set-up costs.
CHALLENGES

By offering automation and choice, NetOS RapideTM can deliver:
lLow touch configuration on-site for lower operational costs in setting up and deploying networks, reducing human intervention on critical service provisioning activities (e.g. avoid loops, configuration errors, etc.)
lDiversified vendor portfolio for the service provider: No need to be locked into a specific vendor to configure, test, deploy and operate the temporary network.
lReduced operational costs through reduction of set-up, configuration and management over-head.
lControlled network and service changes during operation, allowing high flexibility for the service provider to accommodate last minute end customer change requests.
lCAPEX savings in network equipment costs by offering an optimised network designed to meet exact end-user needs and sharing resources between tenants/ designated user groups.
lGreatly simplifies IT operations allowing more time for innovative service creation.
l Increased revenue generation by enabling monetisable services.
lHeightened security with fast configurable guaranteed network services.
lThe potential to avoid liquidated damages resulting from failure to meet contractual SLAs.
A typical set of use cases within which NetOS RapideTM has proven agility is as follows:
l Indoor/Outdoor Public Locations – Festivals, concerts, pop-up retail shops, cinema in-the-park, temporary campsite or car park or re-purposed spaces.
l Indoor/Outdoor Private Locations – Concert in a sports venue, exhibition, product launch, cooperate services during an office relocation or track cycle race.
l Industrial or Manufacturing Sites – Main or backup communications and data infrastructure for construction sites, major roadworks or agricultural harvesting.
lPublic Safety – Support to emergency services, private security, traffic enforcement, environmental sensors or humanitarian aid.
USE CASES

lFull Network Visibility – Multi-technology network services and infrastructure monitored locally or remotely. Auto-discovery of expected network devices allow anomalies to be highlighted by deviation notifications against the expected network, expediting time to fault recognition and root cause diagnosis. Aggregated network statistics provide cross infrastructure network use.
lAutomation – Self discovering of wired and wireless network infrastructure and connected hosts. Provisioning of services to categories of hosts. Prioritisation and steering of traffic to relevant backhaul based on host categories.
lMulti-technology Control – Ability to provide full network visibility, control and management over multiple access technologies (fixed, wireless and low power IoT) and providing multiple backhaul technologies selection relevant to service needs (Satellite, LTE, FWA -Microwave, Millimetre Wave and Cable WAN-IP, L2 or Optical).
lVendor Agnostic – A catalogue of supported devices, empowering the choice of form factor, removing the challenges of vendor lock-in while lowering training costs and enabling solution portfolio flexibility.
lPortable Network Profiling – Pre-configured, user-configured and stored network profiles enable tailored, on-demand predictable repurposing of network services in different situations. On-day network services updates stored for future use. Activation of “One-Network” for all service needs.
lRapid and Simplified Configuration & Control – Automated provisioning of network services (WiFi and LAN) for Plug-and-Play extensibility of additional infrastructure. Network mode control to deal with exceptional circumstances. Reduction in downtime owing to human error. Network configurations can be loaded into the temporary network quickly and uniformly, regardless of the vendor and technology, allowing for off-site and pre-emptive testing of the network.
l5G Ready – Zeetta Networks’ NetOS® has been proven with early trial deployments of 5G technology and 5G New Radio in world-class experiments, creating sliced LTE and 5G backhaul networks. NetOS RapideTM makes you 5G Ready.
