OmniVista Smart Tool
A purpose-built field utility designed to empower technicians and streamline the deployment and troubleshooting of IoT device connectivity, ensuring OT environments stay connected without unnecessary overhead.
OT deployments face consistent challenges: installations performed by non-network specialists, high turnover among field and operations staff, and time-consuming troubleshooting requiring IT escalation.
In device-heavy networks, where cameras, sensors, and access control systems dominate, frequent PoE issues and limited or restricted cloud connectivity further complicate operations. OST is built to operate side-by-side with any device-heavy network, especially in environments such as Physical Security (VMS), Transportation & ITS, Industrial & Manufacturing, Smart Buildings and critical infrastructure.
OmniVista Smart Tool enables field technicians of all skill levels to install and troubleshoot device connectivity without relying on CLI tools, cloud dashboards, or advanced networking expertise.
