Cable operators have until now been forced to rely on round-robin (RR) techniques for RF multiplex monitoring, since existing video monitoring equipment on the market provide low density and scalability in terms of number of input interfaces as well as monitoring depth and coverage. These limitations leave the operators with poor coverage and thereby scarce insight into the QoS and QoE of the deployed services. In turn, this reduces the possibilities for being aware of and acting on issues currently occurring in the distribution, as well as understanding the long-term trends and underlying causes.

With Analyzer OMNIA, all these limitations are eliminated. Through a unique combination of analysis depth and capacity, Agama's new and innovative solution offers a magnitude higher density of simultaneously monitored muxes compared to any other solution on the market today. It also removes the need of compromising on the monitoring level, as it allows for full real-time monitoring including all TR290 Prio 1-3 parameters for every individual service. OMNIA is optimized for use in cable operators' head-ends, local offices or edge QAM sites, and it is available in different versions ranging from 12 up to 48 input configurations for 1U and 2U server packaging. This extremely high density allows even the largest cable networks to deploy single Analyzer probes capable of monitoring every mux and all their services in important network locations, instead of having to use tens of probes for each network point to achieve the same coverage and level of concurrent monitoring.
