MaCI – the ascom Network Management
Solution that puts you in control

The MaCI Management Centre gives you
complete control over your entire network –
at all times
Operating a network and all its components
reliably calls for a comprehensive
management tool. Detailed configuration
and commissioning tools help simplify the
complexity of the network and bring it
down to a ‘manageable level’.
• MaCI cuts down the amount of maintenance and commissioning work carried
out by service personnel.
But MaCI does more than support
operational aspects. Data on the level of
capacity utilisation and workload of the
network infrastructure provides network
operators with crucial decision-making
information for future expansions and
upgrades.
• MaCI provides decision-makers with all
the necessary basic information they need
for planning their networks.
