The cable industry is one of the largest IP users and this month we focus on the advantage of combining the RF monitoring with IP monitoring and analysis.

QAM/ASI/IP: MONITORING AND ANALYSIS IN ONE CHASSIS
The growth in hybrid Cable/IP systems is entirely logical given the savings and flexibility of IP networks and the enormous legacy of Cable systems already deployed. No small surprise then that the VB260 QAM interface for the VB120 or VB220 IP-Probes has been such a commercially successful combination since its introduction in 2008. With full parallel monitoring of IP, ASI and up to 2 QAM interfaces, combined into a 1RU chassis, this all adds up to a powerful feature set that can assure operations, reduce customer churn and generate operational savings.

The ability to pinpoint the exact location where problems arise means considerable savings in operational and maintenance costs as the number of truck rolls can be reduced. Down time will also be reduced because for once you can be proactive in locating problem causes before networking issues impact customers. Your goal must be to increase revenues by increasing subscribers without a corresponding increase in service engineers. Leverage your engineering competence by letting our probes do the leg work.
