Remote site management solutions from Kentrox enable customers to monitor all physical site elements, including backhaul circuits, radios, antennas, power, security, HVAC, wireless repeaters, and other mobile network assets from anywhere around the world.

It also provides performance reporting to enable operators to view trending and availability of their networks. Truck rolls can be eliminated because of the remote access, diagnostics, and control capabilities in Optima.
