Ubiquity:
- see link quality in real time,
- update firmware remotely,
- reboot radios,
- view signal graphs,
- detect failures,
- follow traffic flow per hop,
- monitor throughput on each direction,
- receive alerts (email/SMS/Telegram), - run diagnostics,
- trace bottlenecks,
- visualize the entire backbone live on a map.
- This is exactly what UISP / UNMS is made for.
1. You get a complete live map of your entire backbone
UISP shows:
- All relays (PK12, Bombéré, Imoro, Damara Gate…)
- All links (PTP1, PTP2, PTP3…)
- Color-coded link health
- - Traffic in both directions
- Alerts when even one tiny thing goes wrong
You literally see:
green – OK
orange – warning (signal drop, noise, weather)
red – link down
- You can manage your whole country-wide network from one screen.
2. Remote management features (no need to climb the hills)
Every Ubiquiti radio (airFiber, LTU, airMAX) supports:
- Remote WebUI access
- Remote SSH
- Remote config backup/restore
- Remote firmware upgrade
- Remote antenna alignment tool
- Real-time spectrum analyzer (remote!)
- Remote link quality / SNR graphs
- Remote logs
You only need:
- a management network (simple VLAN or flat network)
- one UISP controller (can be on a Raspberry Pi, a small VM, or in the cloud)
3. Remote OAM (Operations, Administration, Maintenance)
With Ubiquiti airFiber / LTU, you can:
- Identify problems remotely:
- bad alignment
- water in cable
- power issues
- interference
- fading due to weather
- hardware aging
- speed degradation
Fix problems remotely:
- change channels
- change power
- lock modulation
- adjust bandwidth
- reboot remotely
- switch link mode (SERIAL / SISO / MIMO)
- No climbing.
- No travel.
- You control the entire national backbone from Bangui or from Thailand if you want.
4. Traffic management from one central point
UISP gives:
- per-hop bandwidth
- real-time throughput graphs
- per-site latency
- packet loss
- link utilization
- queue monitoring
- interface stats
- alerts when traffic spikes or drops
- historical graphs (hour / day / week / month)
- You have a full NOC dashboard.
5. Two ways to operate “remote management” in CAR
Option 1 – Local UISP server in Bangui
- Run it on a small server or Raspberry Pi
- All radios report to it
- Accessible via VPN
Option 2 – Cloud UISP (recommended for you)
- Install UISP on a cloud server (DigitalOcean / AWS)
- All radios in CAR report to it
- You manage everything from C.A.R., Thailand or France (travelling)
- No central hardware
- Independent of local power cuts
Possible to install a small “station K mini-NOC” at each relay with Raspberry Pi for even more visibility
