Remote Monitoring of BTS

Remote Monitoring of BTS infrastructure

Distributed Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) must be effectively protected from critical physical environmental factors, from power failure and from intrusion and vandalism. With the BTS monitoring solutions from manufacturer Didactum, the remote mobile stations can be monitored in a holistic manner around the clock. For this purpose, Didactum offers networked remote monitoring devices and a comprehensive selection of SNMP enabled sensors.The proven remote site monitoring solutions are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding customers.

Monitor important environmental factors such as temperature, airflow or humidity (RH). Detect water leaks and flooding in BTS infrastructure. Protect your Telecom Base Station with networked fire detection systems. Control the fuel supply of your generators with Didactum IP-based remote BTS monitoring solutions. The physical security of the mobile station is permanently controlled by video cameras and SNMP-enabled motion detectors, door contacts, vibration and glass break detectors.

At the same time, the power in the individual BTS stations is monitored, so that critical situations, such as an UPS battery supply or a generator failure, are reported immediately. Didactum also offers proven remote monitoring solutions for the power quality analysis of the BTS. The real-time measured data is transmitted via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to the central control room and network management systems (NMS). The networked remote monitoring units support the SNMP protocols SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 (encrypted).

SNMP MIB files and Nagios plugins are included. As part of the Lifetime support, free microcode firmware updates are offered.

With the proven BTS remote monitoring solutions from the manufacturer Didactum, mobile operators get indispensable information about the current state of the individual sites. This information is the basis for reports and forecasts.
