INTRODUCING SITE VANTAGE^®

RFI is introducing a new state of the art, Site Vantage®, a monitoring solution manufactured to provide non-invasive 24/7 monitoring of the health of communications site equipment and the RF performance within the network. It is a groundbreaking solution that offers unmatched insights into RF site performance and network efficiency.

It allows network operators to reduce ownership costs while boosting network availability and improving user experience. By providing detailed, real-time data on site performance and potential issues, operators can make more informed maintenance decisions. This also helps decrease the need for frequent and costly on-site preventive maintenance checks. The Site Vantage® alerts operators to faults as soon as they occur, allowing for quick responses based on the fault's severity and urgency, minimizing downtime and ensuring optimal network availability.

Key features include, but are not limited to, monitoring of forward and reflected transmitted power per channel, measurement of Tx to Rx antenna isolation, and monitoring Rx RSSI levels for up to 80 channels.  With three pairs of forward and reflected power inputs and three separate receive monitoring inputs, the Site Vantage® supports the monitoring of multiple transmit combiners and antennas, Rx diversity systems, and an optional standalone monitoring antenna, all within a single device. Built on modern hardware and software technologies, it offers much faster channel scan rates and paves the way for even more advanced monitoring features in the future.

Covering broadband operations from 132-960MHz, the Site Vantage® eliminates the need for multiple devices at multiband sites. While it remains compatible with the existing Site Alarm Module (SAM), it also includes on-board analogue and digital inputs, along with alarm outputs. The Site Vantage® supports advanced cybersecurity features, such as HTTPS and SNMP v3.
