RF Monitoring System provides ingress and RF performance checks.March 19, 2008 -
Using lab-grade spectrum analyzer, RealWORX(TM) Web monitors ingress and RF performance for RF CATV and broadband communications services. It can monitor above 65 MHz, helping operators to detect laser clipping, and can also detect and capture extremely low level RF impairments such as transients, CPD, and noise floor degradation. Web-based platform constantly monitors upstream and downstream channel performance, alerting operators to impairments before they have serious effects.

Comprehensive Monitoring System from Sunrise Telecom® Increases Reliability of RF CATV and Broadband Communications Services
RealWORX(TM) Web is the only system to perform both ingress and RF performance monitoring, providing technical staff with the tools to proactively and effectively minimize cable modem and RF Signal quality problems.
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 11 -- Sunrise Telecom(R) Incorporated (Pink Sheets: SRTI), a leader in test and measurement solutions for today's telecom, cable and wireless networks, today announced RealWORX(TM) Web, the industry's most comprehensive monitoring system for RF CATV and broadband communications services. RealWORX is the most complete and cost-effective RF monitoring system available on the market today, and the only ingress monitoring system capable of monitoring above 65 MHz. The frequency band above 65 MHz allows operators to better detect laser clipping which is a largely misunderstood network condition that erodes data quality of service.
"Competition among video providers continues to heat up, which means video quality is becoming an essential differentiator," said Jeff Heynen, Directing Analyst, IPTV and Next Gen OSS/BSS, Infonetics Research. "The RealWORX monitoring system provides greater functionality and flexibility in a single system than other systems, simultaneously meeting the pressing need for CATV headend and hub site monitoring, as well as VHO and VSO monitoring for telcos."
RealWORX improves network performance and availability by alerting operators to impairments before they have serious effects. For example, life-line voice and other high-speed data related services are degraded when ingress related impairments are not identified. By constantly monitoring both upstream and downstream channel performance on a CATV system, operators can proactively identify and eliminate these often subtle impairments prior to service degradation.
This innovative, web-based platform is the only monitoring system to use a high-end lab-grade spectrum analyzer, making it possible to detect and capture extremely low level RF impairments like transients, CPD and noise floor degradation, which are invisible to competing systems.
RealWORX constantly monitors digital and analog measurement parameters storing these results as historical data. Special graphs display the measurement deviations over time. In-depth views allow individual channel results to be displayed graphically over time. In addition, a unique dashboard provides overall health status information for each node, while the node status menu makes it easy for technicians to drill down and isolate individual alarm conditions.
The RealWORX web-based platform ensures that operators can control the monitoring application from any location using a standard web browser. Since RealWORX utilizes industry-standard MySQL database and XML file formats, third party applications are easily integrated.
RealWORX is immediately available from Sunrise Telecom. For sales information contact the company at info@sunrisetelecom.com.
