Westell Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of in-building wireless, intelligent site management, cell site optimization, and outside plant solutions, announces today that the ClearLink®UDIT™ (Universal DAS Interface Tray), an active radio frequency (RF) distribution antenna system (DAS) conditioner and management system, has been granted compliance with SitePortal®by C Squared Systems, LLC (C² Systems).
SitePortal®, a web-based tool for remote monitoring and management of distributed systems and equipment, was designed to address a major gap for operators, technicians, and managers of facilities that need a means of capturing critical data. SitePortal® has the ability to monitor and manage all devices used in an in-building wireless system. The ClearLink®UDIT, a main component at the head-end of an in-building wireless system, conditions and monitors RF signals between a small cell or high power base station transceiver (BTS) and a DAS.
“In order to receive compliance with our software program, products must go through a series of compliance tests and meet strict operational requirements,” states Scott Pollister, Director of Business Development at C² Systems. “We are pleased to announce that the ClearLink®UDIT has received the SitePortal®certification compliance.”
“SitePortal® is an integral part of DAS deployments for one of the nation’s leading wireless service providers,” explains Scott Goodrich, President of IBW, a division of Westell Technologies. “With this compliance, the UDIT can be remotely monitored and adjusted via SitePortal®, giving the wireless service provider increased visibility and control to optimize and improve the performance of the DAS.”
Major highlights of this integration include: the ability to monitor and forward product specific alarming information to operations and NOC personnel; provide critical performance analysis of each UDIT point of interface (POI) card; facilitate trending analysis relating to system operating temperatures; and provide spectrum analysis values to support troubleshooting and root cause discovery - all of which enhance the user’s performance and avoids costly onsite visits.
