ANT Group MoREdge Edge ServerMorEdge is the new unit for the control of remote transmission sites.It allows the on-site management of the equipment using SNMP as well as any other standard or proprietary protocol (for example GPIO, RS232, RS485, HTTP, FTP, Telnet, SOAP,REST, Corba, ModBus, MQTT, WMI and many more...). The MorEdge is the master at the site: it interfaces any equipment, in real-time so it allows to detect micro interruptions. One of the major features is the local software named “SitePOD” that allows a more efficient distribution of the NMS workload installed at the NOC. In addition, to drastically reducing the communication bandwidth needed, it also allows to work with unstable or absent connection automatically storing all the operational data of the equipment under control and sending them to the Central Control as soon as the communication is restored. This will allow to use the data collected during the time of communication loss and making possible to generate statistics and accurate performances. A user-friendly on-board dashboard allows an easy management of the devices on site. So, the technicians don’t need to use any laptop or other PC to check locally the status of the site. **Features** - 4G/LTE (Cat 4), 3G, 2G connection with VPN (optional) - SNMP Local polling and data storage - Detect even temporary micro-interruptions - Internal UPS (with minimum 2 hours of battery back-up) - Ready to select External battery mode - Allows remote firmware upgrade for all Equipment - Accurate performance even with unstable connection - Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch - Unlimited SNMP GPIs and GPOs - 19” - 1 Rack Unit (depth 425 mm)more... -
ANT Group IO-HUB GPIO ProbeThe IO HUB is our new generation Ethernet HUB GPIO module (GPIO “General Purpose Input/Output”) suitable for electrical devices control and monitor over the Internet. It connects a set of 8 SPDT relays, 8 analog inputs and 8 optically isolated digital inputs to Ethernet and make them available through the SNMP protocol. It also provides a dedicated input for temperature probes, a RS485 interface and a built in real time clock. It can be accessed locally or remotely via web browser for configuration. The network parameters (IP address, gateway and mask) and other options (e.g. the maintenance mode) can be locally set by means of the built-in display and keyboard allowing an easy installation without the needs of a PC. Test operations are possible via the local user interface as the current value of all the inputs and outputs is shown on the display. Moreover, in maintenance mode, the status of each output relay can be manually forced. All the electrical connections are made by plug-in connectors for an easy installation and removal. **Features** - PoE (Power over Ethernet) power supply - Communication via SNMP and HTTP - NMS connectivity (SNMP MIB) - SNMP Trap alarms with programmable thresholds and polarity - Setup through a web page and SNMP - Remote software upgrade capability - LCD backlight controlmore... -
ANT Group RF Power ProbeHT-SNMP is a temperature and humidity probe with SNMP interface, powered directly from the Ethernet connection (PoE). It has two external probes for the temperature, both one meter in length, that allow to measure two separate temperature channels. An additional internal humidity sensor provides the relative humidity measurement as well. Measured values can be remotely read via SNMP and over/under thresholds conditions can trigger alarm traps. A web interface allows an easy configuration of all the parameters. The device is contained in a small elegant plastic housing suitable for wall mounting. Din rail mounting option is also available. **Features** - PoE (Power over Ethernet) power supply - Communication via SNMP and HTTP - NMS connectivity (SNMP MIB) - SNMP Trap alarms with programmable thresholds and polarity - Setup through a web page and SNMP - Remote software upgrade capability - Delta temperature (T1-T2) alarmsmore... -

ANT Group BiRDS FM probe with RDS decoding and audio monitorThe BiRDS is our new probe suitable for reliable monitoring of the FM signals. Compact and versatile it provides accurate measurement of RF level, audio levels as well as the RDS decoding. The audio level monitoring make the BiRDS probe suitable for use as silence probe and the RDS parameters monitoring allows to easily verify if the right program is on air. It supports SNMP protocol and can be configured in order to send alarm traps if one or more readings are outside the desired range. All the parameters and options can be set via web browser. PoE feature make the probe very easy and quick to install. **Features** - Alarms: SNMP Trap with programmable thresholds - Setup: Through Web page and SNMP - Software: Remote upgrade capability - High Sensitivity for direct antenna inputmore... -
ANT EnergyPOD Power Metering SystemThe energy probe is digital metering system that display and communicate major electrical parameters coming from power sources. To suit user requirements the range includes single-phase, three-phase four-wire capabilities. Total compliance with IEC 61036 standard, class 1 **Operation** The digital meters are available in a panel mounted enclosure with a display to show the electrical parameters including the true rms values, current, voltage, power factor, phase angle, active/reactive energy, and frequency values. The simple menu-driven interface offers the interface before settings, configuration of selected communication options and adjustment of operating parameters. **Features** - Nominal rated input voltage 50–500V ac L-L(30-300V L-N) 50/60Hz - Nominal input voltage burden < 2 VA - Nominal rated input current 0.25 – 6A ac rms - Nominal input current burden < 2 VA - System CT primary values 1-9999 A (secondary 5 A) - System VT primary values 1-9999 V (secondary 230V)more... -

ANT Group NetPod NMS Software Modular Network Management SystemNetPOD NMS is the core of the EVO platform: it is a modular Network Management System suite that can grow according to both business and management requirements. Dedicated to the Digital Enterprise, it’s equipped to deal with more and more complex network structures in an increasingly digital world. The NMS can be used to centrally monitor, manage, and configure network elements therefore it’s the first choice for complex network structures. It uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as an integral part of the data collection: real-time monitoring of device status and events is a key feature for the first line operators. Device control and configuration constitutes another half of direct management toolset. The Manager is the server which runs as a system service and gathers information from remote devices; the data control engine automatically computes or normalize incoming information to handles it all through data insight, generating alarms, creating statistics, outlooks, sending emails and SMS messages. It also takes care of managing client applications, connected to its services. **Features** - Powerful, intuitively easy and reliable - Brand independent - Out-of-the-box NMS, fully customizable dashboards, views, and charts - Network insights for deeper visibility - Intelligent georeferenced maps - Smarter scalability for large environments - Advanced alerting: alarm correlation, root cause analysis, pattern matching - Early detection of changes in the network - Firmware update OTA (Over-The-Air)more...
