Overview
American Amplifier Technologies EPC-HW, Empower Hardware/Software Controller Site Manager Without I/O
The EmPower Controller is a compact, powerful remote control device that connects any broadcast or site equipment—new or legacy—to the EmPower monitoring platform. It acts as a smart bridge, collecting data from your equipment, translating it into clear insights, and enabling real-time monitoring and control from anywhere via the EmPower app or through the built in dashboard in the controller.
With the IO option, you gain additional inputs and outputs for advanced site control, such as triggering relays, monitoring sensors, or integrating with external systems. Whether you choose the hardware model, hardware + IO, or software-only version, the EmPower Controller provides a complete remote site management solution in one platform.
Features
- SNMP & I/O Integration: Collects real-time operational data from SNMP-enabled devices and, on select models, physical GPIO inputs/outputs.
- Plug-and-Play Setup: Designed for rapid deployment—upload your MIB, add your device, choose your metrics, and start monitoring in minutes.
- Centralized Monitoring: Directly connects to the EmPower platform for unified viewing, control, and management through the EmPower app, plus a powerful, built-in dashboard on the controller for local monitoring.
- Data Logging & Visualization: Record and graph SNMP and physical I/O activity with export capabilities for deeper analysis.
- Actions Engine: Create automated rules to trigger alerts or control outputs based on specific conditions or thresholds.
- Multi-Vendor Compatibility: Works with equipment from different manufacturers without custom integration.
- Secure Communication: Encrypted data transmission without requiring complex firewall changes.
