Featured in Crystal Solutions' SATCON 2012 Booth #322, Sentry is the industry's newest spectrum monitoring solution.  An affordable, easy-to-use software program, Sentry™ is ideally suited for television network broadcasting, satellite service providers, network operation centers, data and Internet, cell tower and ENG and microwave monitoring.

Sentry can work as a stand-alone solution or it can be integrated with Crystal Solutions' Monitor and Control (M&C) system.  When integrated with the M&C system, Sentry can react to detected broadcast distribution anomalies and automatically route affected signals to advanced analysis devices for further investigation, or reconfigure Earth station equipment to distribute content over an alternate path to fully restore services.

Sentry works as a stand-alone solution or, when easily integrated with Crystal Solutions’ leading monitoring and control system, can react to detected anomalies and automatically route affected signals to advanced analysis devices for further investigation or even reconfigure Earth station equipment to an alternate path to restore services.

Sentry™ works with virtually all commercial spectrum analyzers to provide:

• Auto-anomaly detection and notification (audible, visual, via email) for immediate attention and resolution of serious problems
• A common interface overlay to multiple spectrum analyzer types (the user sees the same easy-to-use interface regardless of the specific type of spectrum analyzer under control).
