RF Power Monitors for the Broadcast Industry
While BPME Series, Broadcast RF Power Monitors provide the usual power and VSWR monitoring, the units are much more than just a ‘comfort’ meters. One of the chief factors that sets the BPME apart is the depth of its functionality. From remote monitoring via a user-friendly web interface to data logging capabilities, the BPME gives users a range of functions designed to make their jobs easier, while protecting the health of their investment.
In addition, the RF test port enables users to verify spectral compliance for applications such as IBOC or HDTV at the point in the transmission line where it matters most! The enhanced functionality of BPME puts complete analog and digital broadcast monitoring at the user’s fingertips through user-friendly, around-the-clock, remote access from any web-enabled device. This 24/7 access ensures that problems are detected and dealt with easily and promptly-before they escalate into more costly situations.
