Built-in Camera

Line-of-Sight Survey with every alignment 3Z RF Vision not only aligns the antenna, but also provides a visual guide to show where the antenna is pointing. The line-of-sight image gives you greater clarity and simplifies the alignment process. The world around your antenna is constantly changing, and 3Z RF Vision allows you to capture these changes. New building constructions, growing tree lines, etc. will degrade your coverage objectives and create unhappy customers.

IoA - IoT for Antennas

Antenna Alignment Sensor

VIAVI 3Z IoA Antenna Sensor

 

Datasheet

 

 IoA – IoT for Antennas is an IoT antenna sensor that monitors alignment in three dimensions: azimuth, tilt, and roll. IoA utilizes LTE CAT-M1/NBIoT to alert of undesired changes to all antennas being monitored.

From the Field to Your Desk

Each antenna can be individually identified on a tower or throughout the entire network. With IoA, operators can set thresholds for changes in azimuth, tilt, and roll. When these thresholds are exceeded, an alarm will be generated, and the operator will be notified immediately. In case of emergencies, priority lists can be easily created using available alignment data, allowing for faster disaster recovery.
