Repeater site management for public safety
Built in collaboration with Comlab: remote site management that keeps communications reliable and secure for emergency services and critical infrastructure.
Know where the problem is before anyone leaves the office.
A repeater site is more than radios. It includes generators, UPS systems, HVAC units, batteries and the repeaters themselves. When sites are spread out and hard to reach, every truck roll is expensive.
With each site reporting in, technicians know what failed before they leave. You bring the right parts, avoid wasted trips and fix issues faster, which matters in a constrained labor market.

Every repeater site, without the drive.
A state network with more than 200 sites now has real-time visibility and automated alerts, so critical communications stay available.

State Public Safety Network
What an RTU watches at each site.
An RTU connects all on-site equipment and streams alarms and data to you, the NMS or both. It's the local intelligence, monitoring, logging and running automations around the clock.
Repeater systems
Monitor Tait, Motorola, Kenwood, Icom and EF Johnson repeaters through SNMP where supported, or with RF power sensors and PTT qualifiers. Track forward and reflected power, and detect antenna or equipment issues early.
Tower lighting
Track light status, photoresistors and current flow to detect failures and maintain compliance.
AC power and generators
Verify utility power and transfer to UPS or generators. Monitor runtime, fuel, start signals and ATS status through local I/O, SNMP or Modbus.
UPS
Integrate SNMP-enabled UPS units for charge, voltage, load, runtime and faults, by polling or traps.
Microwave links
Track RSSI, BER, link status and radio health through SNMP or GPIO for backhaul assurance.
DC panels
Monitor breaker states, current levels and bus voltages to detect anomalies early.
Environmental sensors
Temperature, humidity, smoke, water intrusion, lightning detection and more.
How the system fits together.
The solution installs an autonomous RTU at each repeater site, with an optional central network management system (NMS) at the NOC. Each RTU continuously monitors local equipment and sends alarms and data to the NMS or directly to technicians, depending on your setup. If a communication link fails, sites continue operating locally.
The role of the NMS.
Mosaic consolidates site data into one interface for monitoring, alarm management and rapid access to site details. Alarm logic and automations stay at the RTU, for resiliency.
RTUs for every size of site.
Davicom is our partner for RTUs, and Mosaic is pre-integrated with every series below.
AXON series
- SNMP manager and Modbus master
- Customizable HTML5 interface with analog inputs, digital inputs and relay outputs
- Built-in network ping monitoring, with fixed I/O expandable up to 256 with expansion units
- Logic processing, counters, an activity monitor and schedulers for smarter alarms
Modules
- AXON-5R: 5 Form C relays for local control
- AXON-8A: 8 bipolar, differential analog inputs, in multiple ranges including 4-20 mA
- AXON-8D: 8 digital inputs for logic or wet and dry contacts
Capabilities
- Flexible alarm thresholds, with email, syslog and SNMP traps and informs
- Five alarm call lists to reach the right teams
- Onboard logging of 4,096 samples and 1,024 events, with scheduled email reports
- SNMP v1, v2c and v3 agent for integration and enabling legacy devices
NEURO
A 1U, 19-inch rack-mount platform with five independent slots for NIO cards. It shares its core and interface with AXON, and suits sites that need more I/O.
NIO cards
- NIO-5R: 5 Form C relays, up to 2 per unit, mixed with other cards
- NIO-8A: 8 analog inputs, ±0.5 V to 40 V with 4-20 mA support, up to 5 per unit
- NIO-8D: 8 digital inputs, active high or low, up to 5 per unit
Extras
- Serial interface to carry alarms and commands over radio when IP is limited or down
- Remote commands between units for cross-device automations
- Local jobs, math, schedulers, counters and activity monitors
Davicom CORTEX series (320 and 360)
- Everything in AXON and NEURO, plus advanced logic and greater monitoring capacity
- Built-in SNMP manager and Modbus master for polling and controlling site devices
- Network pings and virtual logic: gates, math, schedulers and counters
- User access control with tailored views and permissions
- Customizable web workspaces for real-time values, alarms and trends
Mosaic network management software.
Mosaic centralizes statuses and alarms from AXON, NEURO and Davicom CORTEX units. Install it on Windows or Linux, on premises or in the cloud.
Interactive map view
See site health with color-coded alarms and symbols. Add layers such as precipitation, cloud coverage and wind, and jump to any RTU's web interface from the map.
Alarm management
View, acknowledge, filter and sort alarms in real time. Configure thresholds, rules and escalations, with audio cues and annotations.
Dashboards and data analysis
Group readings across sites, such as generators or VSWR at all locations. Aggregate and trend data to detect patterns and inform maintenance.
Reporting
Generate alarm reports in PDF, HTML, DOCX, XLSX or CSV, on demand or on a schedule, with counts and durations for a time range.
Multi-user and resiliency
Simultaneous connections with access levels. Add a backup server for uninterrupted operation.

Common questions
Why put an RTU at each repeater site?
An RTU connects all on-site equipment and sends alarms and data to you or the NMS. It monitors, logs and runs automations locally, around the clock.
What happens if the link to the NOC is lost?
Sites continue operating locally. Each RTU keeps monitoring and acting on its own, because alarm logic and automations stay at the RTU.
We already have an NMS. Can we still use Davicom RTUs?
Yes. Davicom RTUs support SNMP and can integrate into existing systems.
Where does Mosaic run?
Mosaic installs on Windows or Linux, on premises or in the cloud.
