Reduced Maintenance Costs

Reduce Maintenance Cost by Testing Radio Network from One Location: With Catalyst's products a technician can place test calls to repeaters across your region, even if your region covers several states. Maintenance costs can be slashed as a single technician can stimulate the radio system from his shop rather than driving to the repeater location. Catalyst products can be used to proactively test a radio network, end-to-end, uncovering subtle problems in a variety of network components. Catalyst products can simultaneously transmit the audio through multiple paths and record the audio of each call at each location, allowing a single technician quickly exercise a complex network and isolate the problem.

Radio Frequency (RF) Testing: Promptly detect degradation in RF components by placing gateways in key coverage locations. Proactive test calls from the system allow the technician to detect changes in antennas and other RF components from his shop. This technique may also be used to monitor interference or simulcast overlap problems. Recorded audio allows technicians to quickly and cost-effectively share anomalous audio with other experts, speeding resolution and slashing costs.
