Challenges

In order to accomplish its various missions, CRMO has introduced a lot of new radio monitoring facilities
nationwide entailing more cost-effective and efficient monitoring systems to operate them stably and securely.

Solutions

ICOMER provided CRMO with a new upgraded FMS(Facilities Monitoring Systems) which has such
functions as:

1.     Monitoring the status of remote unmanned radio monitoring equipments, and in case of failures,
repairing them remotely or notifying concerned parties for a quick recovery by alarming, sending
short messages, popping up warning windows and making sounds.

2.     Monitoring infrastructures(UPS, precision cooling, etc) and environmental conditions(temperature,
humidity, leakage, fire, etc)

3.     Controlling CCTV and DVR for security breaches.

Benefits

1.     There is almost no changes of operational costs caused by additional new facilities owing to the real-time unmanned remote monitoring systems

2.     Prediction and prevention based management of facilities has been realized by analyzing the status and
performance data collected and stored in facilities monitoring data base, maximizing operational
efficiency.

3.     Downtime of equipments and devices has been reduced significantly(about 30% in average).
