Use case
DAB and DAB+ ensemble monitoring
Check every service in a DAB/DAB+ ensemble, plus FM, RDS and HD Radio.
The problem
Why it happens
A DAB multiplex carries many stations at once. A missing component or a fault in one service may not trip any transmitter alarm, but the listeners of that station hear nothing.
Sounds familiar?
- One station disappears from the ensemble
- FIB errors rise in part of the network
- No view across DAB and FM from one place
The KVARTA way
How we solve it
The DAB Monitor watches the whole DAB/DAB+ ensemble and lets you set alarms for missing components. It also covers FM, RDS and HD Radio, so one device can monitor the whole radio offering at a site.
What is checked
- Full DAB/DAB+ ensemble
- Missing component alarms
- FIB errors, C/N, SNR, level
- FM, RDS and HD Radio
