ZCorum’s Spectrum Tools provide a powerful, cost-effective way to monitor and manage both upstream and downstream cable plant performance without the need for expensive test equipment or complex setups. With these software-based solutions, operators can remotely access real-time and historical spectrum data, proactively identify issues, and reduce costly truck rolls. By using advanced analytics, operators can quickly spot problems like signal interference, noise, and bandwidth bottlenecks, allowing for faster resolution before they impact service quality.

The integration of Upstream Analyzer and SpectraVizion offers broadband operators a comprehensive toolkit for monitoring, diagnosing, and optimizing network performance. These tools empower operators with the ability to remotely evaluate network health, diagnose issues across the entire cable plant, and optimize service delivery—all without the complexity and expense of traditional test equipment. Together, these solutions allow for in-depth spectrum analysis, proactive troubleshooting, and network optimization.

By seamlessly integrating with existing systems, the Spectrum Tools simplify maintenance tasks, enabling operators to continuously monitor network health and keep services running smoothly. Operators not only improve network quality but also enhance subscriber satisfaction, reduce operational costs, and ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery—without the need for on-site intervention or costly equipment.

SPECTRAVIZION

SpectraVizion is a web-based, remote spectrum analyzer application that automatically detects common downstream spectrum issues like Suck-outs, Roll-off, Tilt, Standing Waves, Adjacency, Resonant peaking and FM Noise. SpectraVizion doesn’t wait for your customers to call. It is a proactive, downstream spectrum monitoring and analysis tool that actively monitors the downstream by polling every cable modem and set-top box that supports full band capture. It takes a snapshot of the full spectrum for all video and data channels, identifies the devices being impacted by downstream faults and displays a list of those devices. With one click you can drill in to see the spectrum captured that day, and click again to see captures from previous days. You can also rescan the modem at any time to capture the current spectrum and see if anything has changed. With SpectraVizion, you can proactively address downstream issues and check spectrum before leaving the office, allowing you to send the right technician to the right place the first time.
