The Remote Monitoring Appliance (RMA) is a small, low-power device that allows radio receivers to be deployed at remote locations and accessed via standard networking infrastructure.
Monitoring radio communications in distant areas poses unique challenges. Remote monitoring is frequently required in the public safety, law enforcement, intelligence, military, two-way and broadcast communities. By locating a radio receiver at a remote site, the coverage area can be extended beyond the existing radio horizon, or around the world.
The small size and low power requirements of the RMA allow it to be easily deployed in harsh environments. Using satellite data links and solar power, radio receivers can be placed almost anywhere.
Description
The RMA directly controls up to two radios via serial ports, and digitizes received audio for transmission to the base station. The RMA communicates with the Spectrum Sentry™ base station software via a network link using the RCIP protocol. RCIP is a proprietary high level protocol developed by Signal Intelligence to provide command, control and voice over IP capabilities using standard network connections.
Since the RCIP protocol works over any IP network, a wide variety of networks can be used. Possibilities include DSL, wireless Ethernet, LAN, WAN, microwave, satellite or the Internet.
The RMA device is designed for high reliability and availability. With the exception of the temperature activated automatic cooling fan, the RMA contains no moving parts. The low power design assures that the cooling fan is needed only in extreme environmental conditions. A hardware implemented watchdog timer protects against lock-ups caused by transient conditions.
Easy Configuration
The RMA I device supports the Uniden™ BC-796D and BC-785D.
