About the Product
The PBN AIMA3000 RRAS series Analog Return Receiver - Standard is designed for multi-services operators to increase network-return capacities for the ever-growing demand for bandwidth, while minimizing physical headend space and power usage.
With the optional embedded Full Band Capture (FBC) module, it enables the operator to capture and monitor the return path spectrum helping the operator to quickly find and locate the upstream noise and the related upstream signal levels. Advanced spectrum analyzing software is available as in a standalone version or as module within PBN’s NMSE Software suite. It also can be easily integrated into operators exist network management system.
Next to above mentioned online management and controling capabilities the can also be conveniently monitored and controlled through a computer directly connected to one of the Ethernet ports of the ASMM module.
All module settings are retained in non-volatile memory to ensure trouble-free operation. Bulk updating, automatic uploading and downloading of configuration files is possible using PBN’s NMSE web-based management system.
