Broadcasting of radio and television signals requires monitoring and control of remote facilities. This may include monitoring of translators and transmitters, remote supervisory control of transmitter changeover and generation of alphanumeric pager messages by the RTU when alarms occur, eg. the RTU can notify a system technician that the standby generator is low on fuel, or that site security has been breached. The data logging features of the RTUs also allow remote diagnostics of fault sequences to improve the fault finding process.
A recent project in New Zealand utilised around 80 Kingfisher RTUs to provide monitoring and control of television transmission sites in both the Northern and Southern islands. Each RTU has an ethernet port connected to a 10Mbps data highway that provides system operators with very fast system responses.
