WASP (Discontinued)

Antenna Alignment Sensor

Antenna WASP is a Wireless Antenna Sensor Pod that when attached to an antenna, hourly monitors its alignment in 3 dimensions: azimuth, down-tilt and roll. The Antenna WASP will detect and report any undesired changes to all antennas being monitored (up to 18 antennas per site).

From the Field to Your Desk: The Antenna WASP is Alarm Capable

Each antenna can be individually identified on a tower or throughout the entire network. Via our robust remote monitoring software, a network operator has the ability to set thresholds for changes in azimuth, tilt and roll. When these thresholds are exceeded, an alarm will be generated and the operator will be notified immediately. If an undesired change occurs, an operator can act quickly to restore communications to optimal performance.


Easy to Set Up

IoA’s installation is an easy attach-and-monitor process, designed with the technician in mind. An average 9-antenna site can be installed and operational in less than 30 minutes.

Quality Standards

Every IoA is designed to surpass performance standards required for wireless monitoring products. It has a battery lifetime of 5 + years and strictly enforces waterproof sealing standards IP67.

Technical Support

IoA comes with lifetime support, including training, software and field support.

 

The Antenna WASP

Utilizes a wireless interface between the antenna’s Sensor pod and the Data Collector at the base of the tower or nearby communication facility. Any changes in the antenna, orientation is transmitted and via SNMP, the Data Collector forwards this information to the wireless carriers NOCC, RF engineers and/or operations personnel as needed.

The Antenna WASP offers virtually real time antenna aligment monitoring on all wireless network antenna arrays. Our patented technology allows network operators the ability to login to a specific communication facility and view the history of all physical antenna changes.
