Cheetah DOCSIS-based Status Monitoring

Cheetah DOCSIS-based transponders provide unparalleled visibility into the HFC network and can be upgraded to be advanced VoIP test points.

Status monitoring has never been simpler — no more dedicated FSK infrastructure and costly headend equipment is needed. Tollgrade’s newest HFC monitoring solution leverages your existing DOCSIS infrastructure to provide status information on power supply and end-of-line transponder test points over the shared, revenue-generating infrastructure.

Cable operators are able to remotely monitor and test stand-by power supplies using the Cheetah DOCSIS-based Power Supply Monitoring Solution, pinpointing the location and cause of problems, and often identifying degrading equipment before failure. Resources can be ainimizing or preventing network outages.

Tollgrade’s DOCSIS-based transponders have been designed to monitor power supplies from several leading vendors using an analog interface and/or the status monitoring standards developed by the SCTE-HMS subcommittee.

A Cheetah DOCSIS-based transponder provides unparalleled visibility into the HFC network, and can be more than just a power supply transponder; it can be upgraded to be an advanced VoIP test point, monitoring and assuring your system’s ability to carry voice services.
