РусскийRemote RF signal diagnosis and monitoring using PROMAX technology
PROMAX offers spectrum management authorities the PROWATCH Neo monitoring platform, equipped with SNMP remote management, DataMiner® compatibility, and leveraging the integrated technology of PROMAX field meters.
PROMAX field meters also include a free webserver for remote control over the Internet, allowing them to be used as tools for unattended RF spectrum monitoring (depending on the model). Without installing additional options and from day one.
A quick review of the monitoring features of PROMAX equipment:

| Spectral monitoring option (raw spectrum monitoring via masks) | Yes | |
| 8 or 16 RF input options | Yes | |
| Telemetry capture option | Yes | |
| Remote PDU reset option | Yes | |
| Power consumption | Low (battery operation over 4 hours depending on model) | Low: Inherits technology from portable field meters. Suitable for use in isolated technical shelters, mobile units, etc. |
| Cooling requirements | Low (suitable for use under multiple atmospheric conditions) |
Interactive remote control: Operating the meter display from a web browser
webControl technology transforms the user experience of PROMAX field meters by enabling direct operation of the equipment over the Internet using a web browser, without installing additional software or drivers. Through the Remote Console, the user views the analyzer display in real time and can virtually interact with it in real time from anywhere in the world. All functions and controls are available at a click.
This capability enables immediate remote technical assistance, allowing a specialist to diagnose complex issues remotely by collaborating live with field-deployed operators.

Key features of the webControl environment in PROMAX field meters
Available free of charge starting from model RANGER Neo +, the embedded webserver enables professional analysis and monitoring of DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2, DVB-C/C2, and FM Radio networks:
- Spectrum Analyzer: Allows remote adjustment of reference level, span, channel/frequency, and channel plans while examining the spectral trace in real time.
- TV Parameters and Metadata: Decodes and displays metadata embedded in the signal by the network operator (such as NID, ONID, TS ID, Service ID, LCN).
- Video and Audio Streaming: Streams the complete Transport Stream (TS) data flow or decodes a selected service.
- Automated Datalogger: Performs continuous or scheduled readings of quality parameters (MER, C/N, CBER, VBER) with CSV export capability.
24/7 Unattended professional monitoring with PROWATCH Neo units
For uninterrupted real-time broadcast network supervision, the PROWATCH Neo range offers a 19" (1U) industrial rack platform optimized for headends, transmission sites, and spectrum control authorities. The system continuously evaluates RF parameters such as power, MER, BER, constellation diagram, and dynamic echo analysis. Advanced versions such as PROWATCH Neo 2 add continuous recording and comprehensive Transport Stream analysis.

24/7/365 Supervision of the raw RF spectrum
The spectral monitoring option in PROMAX PROWATCH Neo systems allows monitoring of radio, television, and satellite signals through raw radio frequency spectrum analysis. In real time and uninterruptedly. Using configurable spectral masks—acting as templates or stored reference spectra—the system evaluates signal behavior in real time by comparing it against predefined thresholds.
It uses detection algorithms such as Max/Min or percentage deviation to identify level drops, interference, or carrier alterations. When exceeding any of the preset quality margins, the system triggers automatic alarms and logs the sample in its history of up to 500,000 captures for subsequent auditing.
Supervision of up to 16 RF inputs.

Advanced telemetry and SNMP integration for remote stations
PROWATCH equipment includes compatibility with the SNMP protocol via native MIB files, facilitating integration into corporate NMS platforms and offering DataMiner® compatibility. Multiple autonomous measurement stations are supervised from a central control post, and automatic email alarm notifications can be scheduled based on preset quality thresholds.
Multiple autonomous PROWATCH Neo measurement stations are supervised from a central control post.
The advantages of using proprietary, field-proven technology
Combining interactive control via webControl and automatic supervision with PROWATCH Neo drastically reduces technician site visits to remote locations. This architecture speeds up fault diagnosis, optimizes preventive maintenance tasks, and ensures maximum quality of service in critical telecommunications networks.
Furthermore, they are based on the same architecture as PROMAX portable field meters, inheriting their low power consumption and their ability to operate under all types of atmospheric conditions.
