Category:

"*" indicates required fields

Applications

  • 24/7 Monitoring and Maintenance of both Uplink and Downlink sites (RF & Baseband)
  • Generation of Service Availability reports for Service Level Agreements
  • Gateway from RF to ASI or IP
  • Live transmission recorder

Benefits

  • Standalone, easy to use and configure, fast deployment, SNMP compatible
  • Increase customer satisfaction by detecting & preventing DTV network degradations before your customers do
  • Reduce site maintenance cost by anticipating and identifying issues
  • Detect Satellite Distribution issues before it affects the whole network
  • Plan and improve the network configuration by identifying global trends
  • Remotely accessible, compatible with low bandwidth control networks (GPRS/3G/4G)
  • Low power consumption 25W

Combined with a Network Monitoring System or not, the EdgeProbe Advanced provides a powerful broadcast network alert & diagnosis tool allowing DTV network operators to monitor global trends and anticipate potential failures.
EdgeProbe Advanced is able to monitor DVB-S and DVB-S2 signals before uplink and after downlink, through its RF inputs (up to 4 in 1RU), as well as baseband transport before satellite modulator and after IRD, through its ASI and IP inputs.
