The Top Predator of Critical Network Affecting Events – Dantel’s PointMaster Eagle Continues

PR Log (Press Release) – Jul 23, 2009 – Fresno, CA -- Dantel Inc., the leader in network surveillance and management systems, continues to adapt PointMaster Eagle for key surveillance applications. For years the Eagle has been an integral part of monitoring communication networks nationwide and its ability to adapt to various configurations makes it ideal to use in any deployment scenario.

A proven and trusted solution, the Eagle is standard with all Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCS), operating in thousands of central offices in many different applications. PointMaster is currently in use monitoring critical networks for the United States Air Defense System.

The Eagle can be used as a standalone system or to add alarm capacity to existing Dantel460 Alarm & Control Systems (ACS). It works for similar expansion of other non-Dantel systems easily interfacing with IP based networks and legacy networks as well. Available wiring options make it a seamless replacement solution for non-Dantel alarm systems as well as Dantel Alarm Block (Smart Blocks) and Scan & Control (Scanner) systems.

“It is amazing how many applications we can address with the Eagle. PointMaster easily upgrades some of our discontinued systems like Smart Blocks and Scanners or replace other vendor’s equipment,” said Frank Martinez of Dantel. “Our clients are extremely pleased with the choices we offer to make their job easier—practically a plug and play solution that leverages existing wiring. We provide many ways to get to an Eagle including retrofits and upgrade kits.”
