OpenVault’s Upstream Analyser offers a cost-effective solution, requiring no headend cable or expensive hardware to monitor every CMTS or RPD upstream port. In addition, it provides 100% accurate data without interfering with CMTS operations.
Upstream Monitor
Identify transient impairments when you aren’t around. The OV Upstream Analyser runs in the background and stores data so that you can view historical return path data at your convenience. Why? Because plant problems occur at inconvenient times. With an easy-to-use interface that displays a history of your return spectrum, you can play back upstream history or view by scrubbing up and down with the easy navigation bar.
Applications:
- Addresses upstream ingress
- Prioritises repairs with node ranking focusing on poorest performing nodes
- Instantaneously detects modems with codeword errors to resolve impairments
- Reveals impairments overlooked by other spectrum analysis tools
- Shows linear and nonlinear impairments
- Maintaining QoE and network reliability controls costs and increases revenue.
