Davicom
Leading broadcasters and telecom operators around the world rely on Davicom solutions to remotely monitor and control their transmitter sites and unattended studios, allowing them to reduce their operating costs and downtime.
These best-in-class, SNMP-enabled, stand-alone monitoring and control units interface easily with virtually any type of remote site equipment and sensors, which ensures maximum flexibility and expandability.
Although having remote transmitter sites improves coverage, this benefit comes at a price. When a problem occurs at the transmitter site, personnel must often travel there without knowing the nature of the problem nor for example, which spare parts to bring. A comprehensive remote monitoring system can indicate exactly what has happened and save valuable time. Davicom units have been designed and tested to withstand harsh RF environments. Immediate access to real-time site information, like transmitter status, antenna VSWR, audio/video levels and presence, mains and auxiliary power levels, temperature, tower lighting, fire alarm and building security status can be just a mouse click away. In order to ensure transmission sites are continuously up-and-running, Davicom systems provide automation with decision-making features and commands that go well beyond conventional telemetry systems.
They can automatically perform antenna pattern changes, program chain switching, backup transmitter switchover, generator exercising, battery testing, etc. Davicom units can be interrogated by PC using the DavLink software, with a Web browser or SNMP manager, or by telephone to check signals and status, monitor live audio feeds and execute commands. Blackberry®, iPhone® and other smart phones and devices can also be used to monitor and control a site over the mobile Internet and from WiFi hotspots. The unit’s reach-through serial ports can be used to access and control other on-site ancillary equipment. The Davicom can even ping on-site or off-site network equipment through its local IP port and monitor for dial tone on the telephone line. Davicom products are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the broadcast and wireless telecommunications industries.
