Latin America. In Greek mythology, Apollo meant prophecy and healing with the ability to see the future. Dielectric's new Apollo software adapts that tradition for a new advanced analytics platform.
Apollo will help radio and television engineers take swift and decisive action on current problems and take preventative measures that eliminate potentially disastrous situations in the future.
Apollo, which Dielectric previewed at NAB Show 2022, accurately detects anomalies in RF systems for TV and FM broadcasters. The advanced analytical software is an extension of RFHAWKEYE, Dielectric's IP-based RF remote monitoring solution. RFHAWKEYE's software suite integrates Apollo to help users quickly analyze and formulate site data into actionable reports. These reports can be customized to prioritize important system information and performance trends over selectable time periods.
Apollo brings a managed services offering to its portfolio. Dielectric will host Apollo in its new network operations center (NOC) and provide quarterly reports to customers that provide performance insights, communicate alarm instances and actions taken, and provide maintenance suggestions aimed at reducing system failures and increasing performance. Dielectric customers are also provided with remote access to Apollo to generate and review system and performance data at any time.
"Apollo allows us to create a detailed performance log using real-time data collected through RFHAWKEYE. With this information, we work with the customer to assess any degradation that has occurred over time and, in some cases, recommend preventive maintenance to eliminate catastrophic failures and improve service," said Jay Martin, vice president of sales at Dielectric. "We will provide insight into the issues we see and recommend specific actions to take, and we will also deliver this information in executive summaries that are quick to digest and easy to understand."
