PathTrak Version 2.5

PathTrak™ HFC Performance Monitoring – PathTrak is the No. 1 selling HFC Return Path Monitoring System in the world and is the only system available that is powerful enough to simultaneously monitor and troubleshoot all nodes in a crowded DOCSIS® 3 environment to support business and residential services.

Highlights

• Uses unique LivePacket™ technology to troubleshoot active carriers in a bursty DOCSIS 3.0 upstream

• View performance history to understand transient problems to roll a truck at the right time to find and fix the issue
• Reduce trouble tickets and customer churn by identifying problems before your subscribers
• Rank nodes using convenient web-based reports for proactive maintenance
• Easily and quickly detect impairments such as fast impulse noise, ingress, CPD, and laser clipping on all nodes 24/7
• View live spectrum, QAMTrak™ analyzers and a wide array of reports conveniently via the web

Key Features
