Deviser Unveils the Next Generation in Remote Spectrum Monitoring for Distributed Mission-Critical ApplicationsIWCE 2016 (Booth #2169) - Deviser Instruments, a communications test and measurement company that specializes in handheld solutions for the installation, maintenance and optimization of wireless communication networks, continues its mission of designing solutions that directly address the pain-points of its wireless network operators -- including fast, accurate measurement results, simplicity, scalability and lower OPEX. Today the company announced its DS1620 SpectrumPROFILER remote spectrum monitoring system which significantly reduces the time, cost and complexity associated with the standard approach of detecting, identifying and removing interference signals originating from licensed or unlicensed communications systems. This enables mission-critical operators to eliminate signal interference in a matter of hours, not weeks, while simultaneously improving overall service reliability and customer satisfaction. The success of any local or inter-agency mission-critical operation hinges on how quickly interference signals can be identified, evaluated and removed. Public institutions ranging from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, anti-terrorism units, municipalities, fire fighters, the military and other mission critical organizations are increasingly dependent on accurate and timely actionable-intelligence. These organizations stand to benefit most from advances in spectrum monitoring technology as disruptions in communications or compromised signal quality during emergency situations puts lives and property at risk. The DS1620 SpectrumPROFILER is engineered from the ground up as a customer-centric solution where superior signal processing is a core requirement for mission-critical communication. Performance remains a core design feature of the DS1620, enabling it to sweep the wireless spectrum at rates of up to 30 GHz/second to detect signals with periodic, transient or short "bursty" transmission signatures. Combined with the instruments displayed average noise level of -158 dBm (News - Alert) and a spectral purity of -95dBc/Hz at 10 kHz, problematic signals are quickly detected, identified and processed, as they manifest in real-time, empowering users to literally, "see what they have never seen before." "The DS1620 greatly simplifies and expedites the task of locating signal interference that often plagues mission-critical communication systems," said Mike Tolaio, VP of Sales and Marketing. "Customers are ecstatic with the results of the DS1620 which has helped them to reduce truck-rolls and the effort involved in detecting, identifying and removing signal interference in their network resulting in issue resolution time, down from weeks to hours." Configured in a compact, rack-mountable form-factor, theDS1620 SpectrumPROFILER remote spectrum monitoring system can be deployed as a single functional unit, or extensively configured as a unified networked solution spanning any region of interest - these may include city centers, municipalities or counties that may be located hundreds of miles from a mission-critical control center. Fully configured, the DS1620 SpectrumPROFILER offers a comprehensive spectrum monitoring solution with auto-positioning sensors that extend the built-in features of the base DS1620 monitor. True geo-location functionality enhances the overall performance of the system with powerful signal triangulation technology that can precisely pin-point any signal of interest with minimal effort. Once a signal is identified, SpectrumPROFILER provides mission-critical operators with fast, simple and secure remote access options that include TCP/IP Ethernet over VPN capability and integrated web-services. The company says that chasing rogue signals from one site to another with a handheld analyzer, is a thing of the past; its customers can now manage their multiple-site infrastructure right from their smartphone, tablet, computer browser or Network Operations Center (NOC (News - Alert)). The DS1620 SpectrumPROFILER's web-interface offers the same rich set of spectrum monitoring, control, and analysis tools that they are familiar with on their Deviser handhelds with the additional benefits of dynamic updates, real-time ubiquitous spectrum coverage and always-on access. "The City and County of Denver has been using the Deviser D1620 for the past year at all of our radio sites and we've been able to successfully identify, track, and shut down several interfering signals to our Public Safety radio system," said Andrew Anders, the city's wireless systems supervisor. "The Deviser D1620 has made our operation more efficient by drastically reducing the amount of time we spend tracking interferences. Its mobile capabilities allow our team to utilize smart phones and tablets to control the tool on the go, and we're excited to test the Deviser's auto-positioning sensor functionality, which we anticipate will create additional time savings." The DS1620 SpectrumPROFILER's distributed architecture marks an important departure from traditional systems in the way it facilitates implementation of de-centralized spectrum monitoring systems that are just as robust and responsive over large areas as they are over smaller ones. This is essential for the company's mission-critical customers who depend on operational stability, accuracy and fast performance from their systems under all types of conditions. To this end, the company says that the DS1620 is equipped with remote management features that remove barriers-to-access while increasing the stability and performance of its distributed network of monitors and auto-positioning sensors. Customers have full control to configure their installation as their needs dictate, including remote power cycling, system recovery and firmware updates that enable revisions to be "pushed" or "pulled" to the monitor. In the event of an inconsistency or power fluctuation that may cause an interruption in service, self-correcting contingency routines kick-in to automatically re-boot the monitor and restore it to a stable-state. The DS1620 SpectrumPROFILER represents a "leap-gain" in conventional spectrum analysis by equipping its mission-critical customers with a collection of battle-tested technologies, tools and systems to quickly and effectively unclutter their communication channels. By approaching wireless spectrum management and interference signaling processing in an entirely new way, the DS1620 SpectrumPROFILER empowers organizations to solve complex communication issues in a matter of minutes and at a fraction of the cost of conventional systems. The DS1620S Remote Spectrum (News - Alert) Monitoring System is currently patent pending.
