Richland Towers: RF site monitoring solution

Exclusive Interview

"Richland Towers is a Premier USA Multi Tenant Tower Company that provides Building Transmission Facilities for Broadcasters Transmitting Systems, which also includes the Master DTV & FM Antennas and Combiners Systems. To closely monitor all Tenants transmission power levels into the Combiners and Antennas main feeders, Richland has chosen the ANT Products.

The ANT RF Probes gives Richland the ability to remote monitor all site RF functions as to forward power levels and reverse power levels to assure that stations are not exceeding the maximum power levels into its system and the possibility, due to extreme weather icing conditions, the Master Antennas VSWR levels are not exceeded.

With the ANT products included into Richland Remote Site Monitoring System, this provides the ability to closely monitor each Station Power levels at the entry points into the Combiners and then the total Combine Power out. These Probes are also installed to monitor the transmission line feeders to the Antennas.

Due to the ANT probe performances and flexibility, Richland is able to monitor all critical RF points of interest."
