Open-i Q500

Applications

Open-i enables the practical monitoring and control for:

• Power Monitoring & Energy Management
• Environmental Monitoring and Control
• Fire & Safety and Physical Security Alarm Monitoring
• Integrated Building Management
• Performance Monitoring (intelligent polling engine)
• Network Element Monitoring
• Advanced Reporting (Trending, Analytics)

Functionality

• Collecting data about health and operational status of any facility equipment, network device, energy / power meter and environmental sensors from multitude of manufacturers
• Mediate / translate the device protocols, some of which may be industry standards while many others are proprietary in nature.
• Provide trusted cyber security protection and encryption for all data
• Achieve this with “point, click and configure” ability without the need for programming knowledge.
• Translate all collected machine level data into a network based standard language, easy to understand.
• Transmit the vital data, securely, via public or private, wireline or wireless standard communication media

Characteristics

• Cost effective and vendor-neutral
• The Open-i Q500 is a cost-effective SNMP-based Network Element Manager, and is specifically designed to aggregate the remote monitoring and management of devices, regardless of manufacturer.
• Properly scaled and wireless capable
• The Open-i Q500 offers a right-sized complement of contact inputs, contact outputs, and serial inputs for applications at the outermost edge of the network. Wireless connectivity is available for sites where a direct network connection is not practical.
• Simple to install and easy to use
• Monitoring and configuration are accomplished through an intuitive browser-independent web-based interface. It is simple to install and easy to use.

Best suited for deployment in:

• Public safety network nodes
• Broadcast relay/repeater sites
• Power and utility substations
• Hub sites or microwave backbone sites
• Cell sites
• Co-location cages
• Mobile environments

Benefits

• Reduces costs by remotely monitoring devices from a single interface and reducing site visits
• Secure access to connected devices and network elements through any standard web browser
• Vendor independent platform for easy integration with site devices
• Decreases overhead by remotely monitoring and controlling the physical environment
• Providing open, secure, and scalable systems
• Facilitating reductions of energy consumption and operating costs
• Robust, modular hardware design
• Universal Inputs and Outputs
• This will offer total vendor independence to the end-user to freely select the best devices and sensors for their needs regardless of manufacturer, device and transmission protocols.
