Intelesite™
Features and Benefits
Intelesite™
– Innovative Architecture
Dramatic Reductions in Wiring/Conduit Materials and Installation Costs
Intelesite™
utilizes a Central Control Module (CCM) and intelligent modules to monitor and manage the critical elements of a remote telecom site. Communications between the CCM and remote modules are conducted over the Intelesite™
serial I/O Bus. Controls are connected at the remote modules and the bus cable is distributed via overhead cable trays.
Intelesite™
– Distributed Intelligence
Serial Communications and Redundant HVAC Control
Precise environmental control is a prerequisite to the long-term health and reliability of telecommunications equipment. HVAC controls are implemented through the HVAC Control Module (HCM) and temperature control set points made at the CCM are automatically updated to the HCM. Each HCM is also equipped with a temperature sensor and, in the event of CCM failure, control is automatically switched to the HCMs for double redundant HVAC control.
Intelesite™
– Centralized Status and Alarm Reporting
Facilities Data Management
Status and alarm data gathered from monitored devices is transmitted to the CCM. This centralizes data display and management for all site support elements, including HVAC, commercial power, generator, DC plant and batteries.
Intelesite™
– Flexibility and Expansion Capability
Variations in Site Requirements are Accommodated Easily and Inexpensively
Firmware in the CCM supports all remote module functions. This allows carriers to implement the CCM throughout the network and to apply the remote modules on a site specific basis.
Intelesite™
– Network Management System Connectivity
Integral Protocol Gateway for Network Connectivity
Status and alarm data may be reported to the site alarm system or directly to the Network Operations Center. The gateway for network connectivity, the ProtoCessor Communications Module, supports a complete library of Ethernet protocol drivers, including SNMP, TL1 and Telnet to accommodate the requirements of telecommunications network management systems.
