Antenna Systems Cost effective and reliable solutions are available for both radio and tv antenna systems. The solutions are in low, medium and high power; they provide reduced interference and reflections. Wideband performance, low windload and weight. Any antenna system, if required, can be provided along with a specific analysis of interactions with existing sites and suggested modifications. To achieve the required quality of service, recommended levels of output powers and coverage predictions can be provided as well by our antenna system department.
Network Management System It’s a comprehensive decision making and controlling tool on synoptic map which enables users or engineers to execute even complex operations in an easy and intuitive way based on snmp. A list of technicians can be set by a system administrator to interact with the single sites by phone, sms or email. The tool can easily be set up by different optional modules for data storage and backup, mailing and sms dispatch to technicians when an alarm or a trap happens. The access is controlled by authentication.
