Managing Complex LMR Systems

Anyone responsible for a multiple-site, multiple-channel land mobile radio communications system knows that management of even just a single site can often be a complex task. Failures or degradation in performance are often initially reported by end users, but multiple trips to the site may be necessary to fully diagnose and correct the issue.

This paper discuss the advantages of using a non-intrusive sensors to monitor the health of the communication system.
