"*" indicates required fields
Applications
- 24/7 Network Quality Monitoring:
- Head-End: STLTP distribution (over IP, Satellite)
- TX sites: RF transmission quality & stability, SFN synchronization
- Reception area (SFN overlapping): RF signal quality & Echoes (w/ TX ID)
- Generation of Service Availability reports for SLA & channel bitrate allocation stats for Lighthouse scenario
- Plan and improve the network configuration by identifying global trends
Benefits
- Small, Silent & Magnetized: can be installed anywhere
- Portable tool for maintenance team
- Standalone, easy to use and configure, fast deployment, SNMP compatible
- Increase customer satisfaction by detecting & preventing DTV network degradations before your customers do
- Remotely accessible, compatible with low bandwidth control networks (GPRS/3G/4G)
- Low power consumption (8W)
Combined with a NMS or TestTree’s GlobalViewer, the EdgeProbe Nano provides a powerful broadcast network alert & diagnosis tool allowing DTV network operators to monitor global trends and anticipate potential failures. EdgeProbe Nano ATSC 3.0/1.0 is able to monitor ATSC 3.0/1.0 signals at Transmitter output through its RF inputs as well as at Modulator input and Head-End/distribution links through IP (STLTP) inputs.
