HFC Status
Monitoring Solutions
Monitoring, measuring
and managing HFC plant equipment and signals
is no easy task. However,
in order to maintain customer satisfaction,
reduce operating costs and meet regulatory
requirements, cable broadband service providers
of all sizes need to do just that.
Tollgrade’s Cheetah™ products,
including CheetahNet™ (formerly
NetMentor™) and CheetahLight™ (formerly
LIGHTHOUSE®) monitoring systems are complete
hardware and software solutions that enable
efficient status monitoring and provide technicians
with tools that greatly increase their plant
operation efficiency.
By providing a constant, proactive view of
the health and status of outside plant transmission
systems, the CheetahLight product
line can reduce operating costs and increase
subscriber satisfaction. Tollgrade’s CheetahNet product
line expands upon this coverage to also monitor
key headend/hub equipment and integrate seamlessly
with third-party return monitoring systems.
Tollgrade's Cheetah
DOCSIS-based product line manages and tests
power supplies by taking advantage of the existing
DOCSIS infrastructure's Cable Modem Termination
System (CMTS), utilizing the HMS protocol,
without the need for dedicated headend equipment.
