Remote Monitoring System

The PROMAX PROWATCH Neo 2 Radio, TV Broadcasting, Cable and Satellite TV Networks, and MPEG-TS Remote Monitoring System is oriented to supervise radio and TV broadcasting, cable TV and satellite TV networks, in the 5 to 2500 MHz frequency band. It also monitors IPTV, TS (over ASI) or WiFi signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz ranges. It is possible to survey digital terrestrial transmissions in DVB-T, DVB-T2, ATSC, ISDB-T/TB and J.83B, Cable TV in QAM and DVB-C2 and satellite in DSS, DVB-S and DVB-S2.

The PROWATCH Neo 2 provides full remote control for the different parameters in all the sites to warrant quality of the complete network.

PROWATCH Neo 2 Remote Access

Each measurement unit features a built-in webserver, which can be accessed from any PC, tablet or cellphone through their respective internet browsers. The PROWATCH Neo 2 offers Ethernet connectivity in order to communicate directly with other network devices.

SNMP Compatible and Easily Scalable

PROWATCH Neo 2 is SNMP compatible, letting it be part of any SNMP manager system already in use by the network operator. Building a monitoring network with the PROWATCH Neo 2 is easy: just add as many remote stations as required.

Efficient and Hassle-Free Monitoring Solution

Each measurement station can be set up to carry out tasks autonomously. Through its straightforward interface, it is possible to choose the channels or frequencies that are to be monitored as well as the threshold values and alarms.

Just Like Being There

It is also possible to get remote and manual access to a wide range of functions, allowing users to work with the device as they would do physically on site.

This is essential to carry out a deep analysis of the alarms that may have been raised.

Remote System Control

The remote console allows connecting to a measuring equipment and using it as one would do physically. Requiring just an Internet browser, with no need for additional software. Just like being there on site.

DAB+ Digital Radio Option

DAB+ is an evolution of DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) that among other differences uses AAC+ audio codec. It also includes Reed-Solomon error correction algorithm, which makes it more robust against transmission impairments. The PROWATCH Neo 2 DAB option (not included) is compatible with both standards.

Advanced FM Option

This option (not included) allows users to perform advanced measurements over FM radio. Measurements include:

• Modulation Power
• Stereo Pilot Detection and frequency deviation
• MPX Frequency Deviation
• L+R, L-R, L, R Frequency Deviation
• RDS Frequency Deviation
• Offset
• % time frequency deviation > 75 kHz

Advanced DAB/DAB+ Digital Radio Option

The advanced DAB option (not included) allows professional users to perform DAB signal quality measurements. It includes many functions that are normally available in higher cost products only, such as ETI recording, constellation diagram or echoes analysis.

Spectrum Monitoring System Option

This is an option (not included) for PROWATCH Neo 2 that facilitates spectrum based signal analysis. Spectrum trace samples taken from the RF input are continuously stored in a database and analyzed by this solution. If required, alarms notifying identified events can be generated.

The spectral database, as well as the alarms created, can be reviewed anytime.

Customizable programmable analysis modes for this option included FM analysis, RF/TV analysis, Max/Min margin, and deviation.

Live Spectrum Trace Display and Historical Report

The optional Spectrum Monitoring System allows users to check relevant information anytime without interrupting the ongoing monitoring task.

The remote control GUI includes a real time monitoring screen to survey up to 16 spectrum traces simultaneously, and a historical spectrum display area that allows choosing the specific sample to load on screen from the historical register.

Professional Monitoring

The spectrum monitoring solution is available as an option for PROWATCH Neo 2 system, which inherits sector leader field strength meter technology from the R&D labs at PROMAX.
