Radica to showcase new Davicom

Radica will be displaying the latest release of the Davicom Telemetry System with many new features and benefits on its stand at CABSAT this year. Davicom’s mission is to supply affordable, intelligent and innovative monitoring solutions for a remote broadcast or telecom facility. These solutions allow one to increase transmitter uptime while reducing travel and maintenance costs.

The Davicom Telemetry unit is located at each site connecting to practically any piece of equipment by parallel, SNMP or ModBus. It can take intelligent decisions locally and then report back to your Network Operations Centre, thus cutting down network traffic.

Installing these units at sites can significantly reduce the number of site visits required and so can save significant money in a short period of time.

Two major projects in the Middle East are planned for 2013 with Davicom units being installed at both AM and FM facilities. Network Operation Centres (NOCs) at the broadcasters’ HQs will have real-time visualisation of what is happening at each site and site equipment can be controlled either manually or automatically.

Powerful new features in Version 5.48 includes extended support for SNMP and new DTMF Quick Commands. The V5.48 release of MacComm includes the ability to apply coefficients to SNMP GETs so results may be meaningfully displayed graphically, and support for direct integration of equipment URLs to centralise the control you can have over your site.

Radica Director, Alan Brown said: “Version 5.48 incorporates many of the features customers have been asking for. Continuous development by Davicom means that the product is at the forefront of site monitoring and we are delighted that the system has been chosen by two separate broadcasters in the Middle East.”
