Multicom Announces MrM™ True 24x7 Proactive Monitoring-Intervention Services for Hospitality HDTV Systems



Orlando, FL – March 2011  - Multicom is proud to announce yet another innovation from the Multicom Development Labs - the groundbreaking new MrM™ (Multicom Remote Monitoring) True 24x7, minute-by-minute, proactive monitoring and automated intervention services for Hospitality HDTV Systems. MrM™ features a state-of-the-art, realtime Hotel Webportal – displaying system status, activities, and other details on computers as well as all popular smartphone platforms (iPhone™, Blackberry™, Android™, etc.), and tablets, including the iPad™. Multicom’s MrM™ and Mpro-HD™ Pro:Idiom® HDTV Solution makes HDTV easy for Hospitality.


MrM™ provides state-of-the-art, True 24x7 proactive monitoring and automated issue resolution services for Multicom’s recently announced Mpro-HD™ HDTV Hospitality Solution and for many other existing HDTV system installations. Other HDTV installations which use DISH Network ViP222 receivers and Pro:Idiom® EQAMs usually can be supported with an inexpensive equipment upgrade.


MrM™ utilizes sophisticated equipment to provide remote monitoring, issue detection, and problem resolution – virtually eliminating manual intervention and headend-related truck rolls. On a minute-by-minute basis all HD video performance data and environmental measurements are collected, analyzed, stored online and available in real time. Issues are automatically detected and addressed, trends are discovered and corrected or alerts sent – all to proactively eliminate service disruptions, manual interventions, expensive truck rolls, and to ensure satisfied hospitality customers.
