Medius is ideal for Network Operation Centers (NOCs) and provides a single interface for consolidated status, alerts, and reports from multiple Sentry and/or Sentry Verify, Sentry Assure, and Sentry Edge units across the network.

The complexity of today’s networks makes detecting, evaluating, reporting, and resolving subscriber audio and video QoE impacting events a costly and time-consuming headache. Medius provides operators with an alert dashboard that takes the guesswork out of error detection by quickly and accurately reporting and diagnosing video and audio issues occurring anywhere in the network. The alert dashboard includes a geographical view that displays all of the monitoring points on a map, showing which of them have alerts to quickly highlight problem areas or regions; a grid view that shows a program’s alert status across all monitoring points for fast identification and repair of the source locations having video and audio problems; and a tile view that provides a quick snapshot of the alert status of all programs or services and quickly highlights which programs need the most attention. This functionality dramatically reduces the number of technicians – and the time they spend – solving problems. By streamlining – or entirely eliminating in many cases – the need for the traditional “process of elimination” methodology, operators can dramatically reduce operational costs while ensuring subscribers enjoy a premium quality of experience (QoE).

Medius™ offers video service providers an effective way of managing and aggregating status, alerts, and reports from multiple Sentry®, Sentry Verify™, and Sentry Edge™ units deployed throughout a network.
