Service Electric Cable TV, the first community cable provider established in the United States, is using Volicon‘s Observer RPM multichannel monitoring system. The Observer RPM system scans the cable operator’s analog and digital (SD and HD) map throughout the day and night and, after a preset time of outage, alerts NOC staff to any problems with video or audio.
