Public safety site monitoring for P25, LMR and repeater networks. A Davicom Davicom CORTEX monitors the RF chain, site power and environment, then sends alarms over SNMP.

Remote radio and telecom sites are generally monitored through a device called a Remote Terminal Unit (or RTU). Historically, these devices could measure dry contact inputs and analog voltages to check them periodically for abnormal levels. When a problem was detected, the RTU could send an alarm to pre-defined locations by telephone or remote contact closures.
Modern RTU’s can connect to almost any type of on-site device through dry contacts and analog voltages but also through different interconnection protocols such as SNMP or MODBUS. In addition, they can send alarms by email, text message, SNMP Trap or Smartphone notifications.
Besides simply monitoring levels or devices for alarm conditions, modern RTU’s also allow technical personnel to remotely control on-site equipment. This greatly facilitates remote diagnostics and can save of repeat visits to a site.
A smart RTU, like Davicom’s Cortex Series can even take over and control site devices automatically to reset or power-cycle flaky equipment, to start a backup device without requiring outside attention and even to reboot a network element if it stops responding.
Smart RTU’s make remote telecom sites more resilient, robust and reliable thereby ensuring that critical communications infrastructure can do what it is supposed to do when it is required
Davicom’s units give you remote awareness of what is happening at your site. They also give you remote access so that you can run remote tests to determine exactly what is going on, and they give you all this tirelessly, allowing you to keep your critical network operational, 24/7/365.
Using the Davicom Cortex Series Site Management System.
Installing a Remote Site Management unit can be a very profitable investment. Davicom’s Cortex units reduce travel requirements, travel time and travel costs. If you do have to go to a site that is experiencing problems, you’ll know what is wrong and you’ll have the proper replacement parts with you before you leave.

No problem: Use the Davicom Cortex’s integrated sunrise/sunset calculator to control tower, and site security lights.
No problem: Use the signal rectifier that is built-in to every Metering input on the Davicom Cortex and continually check for audio loss on the channel.
No problem: Use the Davicom Cortex’s built-in Agent to convert analog readings into SNMP OID fields that can be read by a remote SNMP Manager.
No problem: Use the Davicom Cortex’s built-in Activity Timers to estimate fuel level from total generator run-time.
No problem: Use the Davicom Cortex’s built-in microphone or line inputs to remotely listen to ventilation fans, compressor motors, radar gearboxes or on-air audio.
No problem: Use one of the Davicom Cortex’s built-in versatile event schedulers to start and end the test.
Davicom Cortex units can enhance the reliability of, and facilitate remote access to your site equipment. Interconnection is possible through GPIO or SNMP.
