Antenna WASP System Overview 

 

Antenna WASP Sensors 

The antenna WASP sensors are designed with a highly sensitive digital compass and 
inclinometer to precisely measure the orientation of cellular antennas and to wirelessly 
relay the information back to the Data Collector. 

 

Data Collectors  

The Data Collector is an embedded computer installed at each installation site that 
receives and records antenna WASP sensor information. The Data Collector is also 
responsible for: 

  Monitoring the sensor data and raising alarms when out-of-range measurements 

are detected. 

  Generate SNMP traps (optional) 

 

Data Collector Manager 

The Data Collector Manager is a Windows application which is responsible for: 

  Configuring the settings in one or more Data Managers. 

  Downloading and viewing antenna WASP sensor data from Data Managers.
