Volicon and Mega Hertz Announce Channel Partner Agreement

“Our alliance with Volicon gives us the continued distinction of representing companies on the leading edge of broadcast technology. Volicon’s expertise and knowledge in signal analysis, acquisition, alerting, recording, archiving, and streaming of real-time applications will certainly strengthen our portfolio. The company’s Observer RPM products are exceptionally well-suited to the CATV market, particularly with the industry’s current shift toward all-digital transmission networks transporting hundreds of channels.”

Volicon today announced a new agreement with Mega Hertz through which Mega Hertz will become Volicon’s exclusive VAR partner for sales to the U.S. cable television (CATV) industry. Mega Hertz is a value-added reseller of unique multivendor solutions that support deployment of advanced video technologies over fiber and coax-based broadband and IP networks, and this new relationship with Volicon serves to provide the cable industry with better access to leading-edge monitoring solutions designed to increase the efficiency and reliability of digital broadcast networks and services.

“Our alliance with Volicon gives us the continued distinction of representing companies on the leading edge of broadcast technology,” said Mega Hertz Director of Business Development Guy Levassar. “Volicon’s expertise and knowledge in signal analysis, acquisition, alerting, recording, archiving, and streaming of real-time applications will certainly strengthen our portfolio. The company’s Observer RPM products are exceptionally well-suited to the CATV market, particularly with the industry’s current shift toward all-digital transmission networks transporting hundreds of channels.”

The Observer RPM (Remote Program Manager) platform is designed to help MSOs and cable operators monitor the quality of their broadcasts in central and remote, headends, or hubsite facilities. The Observer RPM automates the channel-scanning process, scanning as many as 500 video channels continuously, to verify the presence of video and audio and to detect faults, such as no video, frozen video, black video, and audio levels out of threshold.

“Mega Hertz provides CATV clients with a complete range of services and solutions, from engineering and design to installation and training,” said J. Kelly Bloomer, director of sales at Volicon. “The company’s presence across the United States and its three decades of experience in this industry make Mega Hertz a valuable partner, and we look forward to working with the company to bring high-quality, cost-effective monitoring solutions to the cable industry.”
