Consultix DASwizard™
Why DAS antenna monitoring?
Delivering a high availability indoor wireless service is a critical KPI for all service providers. Like any network component, DAS networks should be monitored in real-time to assess any performance issues. Monitoring passive DAS components such as coaxial cable and antennas is problematic because these components do not have an inherent monitoring capability. An operator will only “discover” a problem with field testing or worse, from an upset landlord or subscriber. DASwizard sensors and SpectraQual server provide an integrated DAS monitoring system to limit downtime, speed repair and ultimately increase revenues of DAS infrastructures owned by operators, building owners or neutral hosts. These solutions will quickly pay for themselves in eliminating walk tests and analysis to determine DAS performance problems.

Consultix DASwizard is a DAS monitoring system engineered to limit downtime, speed-up field repairs and ultimately increase revenues of DAS sites regardless owned by operators, building owners or neutral hosts. Such system will quickly pay for itself in compromising walk tests and simplifying analysis to determine DAS issues before significantly losing revenues.
The system comprises 3 main elements; distributed probes, gateways and the server.
- Every probe is easily mounted in a close proximity to each DAS antenna and continuously measures its RF transmission levels
- Then comes the gateway to collect alarms from each group of probes then relays to the Server
- And at last, the server for operation, monitoring configuration and data insights.
Features
-
Generic non-intrusive elements
-
No band limitations
-
Alarming layer is independent from the monitored DAS
-
Centralized server with web-based UI for system operation, configuration, data review & insights.
