A proven solution for network configuration
at scale
NIx CM transforms fragmented configuration management (CM) into a single, auditable system. Built on deep telecom expertise, the solution unifies daily CM lifecycle management, automated auditing, parameter history tracking and zero-touch provisioning, with full traceability from policy definition through to network change verification.

Problems NIx CM solves
Mobile network operators face persistent configuration management challenges that create risk, erode efficiency and impair network quality.
NIx CM addresses each of these directly.
Decentralised
baseline repositories

Uncontrolled
parameter changes
Uncontrolled
parameter changes
Vendor-initiated parameter changes without operator coordination cause unexpected network deviations, compliance gaps and significant extra workload for engineering teams
No configuration
management traceability
No configuration
management traceability
Operators lack visibility into daily parameter changes over time. Historical tracking of who changed what and when is missing, making root cause analysis difficult after degradation events

Lifecycle intelligence
NIx CM provides multi-dimensional visibility for every team involved in network configuration management across all operational areas.
Full MO parameter configuration across all vendors in a single data warehouse. Explore live and historical network configuration data through multiple perspectives, including current state, configuration changes and time-based evolution analysis.
Explore and manage network configuration baselines across any selected point in time. Create, review and maintain parameter exceptions and overrides with complete change history, including creation, review and deletion, with full history tracking.
Identify and analyse operational configuration inconsistencies through list-based views and interactive dashboards. Support on-demand single-node audits for targeted validation of configuration state. Highlight deviations with expected versus actual values shown side by side and prioritise issues based on severity and recurrence to support remediation planning.
Real-time visibility into ingestion, consistency and provisioning job status with automated failure alerting. Health checks validate that all network elements and parameters have loaded correctly before consistency runs, preventing false-positive deviations.
Unified governance layer for configuration policy management, covering baseline definitions, reference data management, imports and complete audit history. Automated validation of rule structure and logic ensures configuration consistency across all network element types and deployment scenarios before deployment.
Configurable history retention — daily snapshots for 30 days plus weekly for 1 year — ideal for seasonal capacity event review and vendor change auditing. Exportable reports provide evidence-based data for vendor coordination and internal SLA governance.
