Dantel, Inc. recently announced that its WebMon Matrix meets the complex requirements for monitoring critical equipment in Cellular and WiMAX tower sites.
Dave Lauger, director of business development for Dantel, Inc. explained that in today's highly competitive telecommunications world service providers can ill afford customer churn stemming from site outages or the loss of critical network equipment due to lack of effective remote monitoring.
Lauger said in a statement that they are finding that their modular WebMon Matrix is the perfect fit for monitoring critical equipment and environmental conditions at tower sites.
The WebMon Matrix, a highly versatile and scalable monitoring and control solution can make its own intelligent decisions to operate back up equipment and to notify network personnel when adverse environmental conditions may affect the site integrity. The solution has the ability to proactively and continuously monitor network equipment through discrete dry/wet contact closures, analog sensors and serial ports.
Dantel explains that equipment failures and out of parameter environmental conditions are reported via email, cellular messaging, paging and SNMP messaging (traps). Communication options reportedly include 10/100 Base Ethernet , RS-232, RS-485, Dial In, Dial Out and cellular modem.
Lauger added that like all of their remotes, the WebMon Matrix is built with industrial grade hardened components and has an operating temperature range of -40C to +85C.
Dantel designs, develops and manufactures surveillance and management solutions for critical infrastructure protection. As a Microsoft ( News - Alert) Certified Partner the company provides their customers with advanced solutions and benefits.
