The ideal tool for accurate & cost-effective monitoring probe for:

DTV terrestrial transmission (DVB-T/T2, ISDB-T/Tb)
DTV cable transmission (DVB-C/C2)
DTV distribution over satellite (DVB-S/S2, T2-MI, OneBeam, MPTS)
DTH uplink and reception (DVB-S/S2, MPTS)

Combine any two RF standards in one single 1RU device.

Combined with a Network Monitoring System or not, the EdgeProbe Advanced provides a powerful broadcast network alert & diagnosis tool allowing Digital TV & Radio network operators to monitor global trends and anticipate potential failures.
EdgeProbe Advanced is able to monitor the RF signal, through its RF inputs (up to 4 in 1RU), as well as the baseband transport before modulator, through its ASI and IP inputs.
