Description

Gsertel’s RCS DAB is a network professional monitoring platform that allows the remote, proactive and real-time DAB/DAB+ digital radio signal monitoring, both at RF and transport levels.

With a compact format, 1RU, all the processing and analysis necessary to obtain the monitoring results is done on the equipment, not needing any additional element except a standard web browser to display the information.

RCS DAB is designed for a 24×7 monitoring signal, allowing to ensure the availability of services in a DAB/DAB+ network.

The intuitive web interface of the RCS, which allows an easy and quick access to all functions, coupled with unique features such as the powerful spectral analysis and capabilities of streaming or ETI (Emsemble Transport Interface) signal recording, make the RCS DAB an ideal solution for headend monitoring, transmission sites or locations on the field.
