Communication radio centers have enough to worry about; the last thing you need to be thinking about is the care and feeding of some new alerting system. We understand these concerns and have designed the SPARKGAP system accordingly.

SPARKGAP is managed with a straightforward GUI toolset, and device configuration is handled over-the-air without tedious hard contact programmers.  It supports TNPP and SNMP to connect to your existing equipment, and it can also connect directly to CAD systems via our high-speed SDP TCP/IP protocol.  SPARKGAP supports SNMP, notifying operators automatically upon a system alarm condition such as temperature, voltage, or connectivity problems.  And should a major failure occur, active redundancy can automatically take over and restore operation within seconds. 

SPARKGAP also has a low link bandwidth requirement – 64KBit to base stations and 10MBit between redundant network controllers.  Such low bandwidth make high levels of redundancy economically feasible, and often allows SPARKGAP base stations to simply collocate in existing 2-way radio sites.
