本項目旨在研發一套『可定制無線網元管理系統』（ＣＷＭＳ），此無線網絡網元管理系統能輕易、迅速及高成本效益地作出定制，為無線網絡設備供應商提供一套支援其IEEE802.11 (WiFi) 和 IEEE802.16 (WiMAX) 標準無線網絡設備的無線網絡網元管理系統。此外,本項目亦會研發各項針對WiMAX網絡的進階管理功能。 面對著無線接入市場的快速增長，不少設置於本地、珠江三角洲和大中華區的設備供應商均投放資源去提供針對WiFi及WiMAX應用的完整組網及解決方案，包括生產無線接入點(Access Point) 、基站(Base Station)及無線網橋(Wireless Bridge)。 然而，為了對網絡營辦商提供可監控及管理網元的功能，設備供應商必須將其產品與網元管理系統結合。但是，許多中小型設備供應商均缺乏所需的專門技術，時間與資源去自行開發性能完備的網元管理系統，而現時市場上亦缺乏這種能定制網元管理系統的技術。本項目所開發的技術及軟件系統則可為這些設備供應商，以最低的成本及資源，來定制出可管理任何規模的WiFi及/或WiMAX 網絡的網元管理系統。這不但使設備供應商可集中研發資源於其核心產品，並使優質產品可以更快推出市場，應用於更大規模的部署，以提升設備供應商的競爭力，利潤率及市場佔有率。 現階段己經有數家的設備供應商表示了對本項目及應科院所開發的可定制無線網管系統技術感到相當的興趣，其中，江揚科技(無錫)(Jupiter Technology (Wuxi)) 已同意資助項目經費3萬 5 千美元 (2.5% 項目經費)。而南京智達康(Nangjing ZCOM) 己經跟應科院在合約上進行洽談。相信在未來會有更多的客戶會對本項目所研發的進階網管功能感到興趣及參予開發。
