RealWORX! Web from US RF monitoring and testing tools manufacturer Sunrise Telecom performs both ingress and RF performance monitoring, providing technical staff with the tools to proactively and effectively minimize cable modem and RF Signal quality problems.

RealWORX is a system for monitoring RF CATV and broadband communications services, improving network performance and availability by alerting operators to impairments before they have serious effects.

For example, lifeline voice and other high-speed data- related services are degraded when ingress related impairments are not identified. By constantly monitoring both upstream and downstream channel performance on the CATV system, operators can proactively identify and eliminate these often-subtle impairments prior to service de-gradation.

Sunrise claims the use of a high-end lab-grade spectrum analyzer sets it apart from competing offerings, as it makes it possible to detect and capture extremely low level RF impairments, like transients, Common Path Distortion (CPD) and noise floor degradation, which Sunrise claims are invisible to competing systems.

Being the only ingress monitoring system capable of monitoring above 65 MHz, it allows operators to better detect laser clipping, which is a largely misunderstood network condition that erodes data quality of service, according to Sunrise.
