Monitoring

Everything that can take you off the air, watched.

Transmitters and exciters, STLs and codecs, Barix decoders, HD importers, RDS encoders, EAS boxes, AoIP nodes and audio processors, remote controls, UPSs and generators — and the switches and firewalls all of it rides on. Every site, around the clock, on one screen, with a phone call the moment something slips.

What BNM watches

One platform across your entire air chain.

Every link from the studio to the tower — and out to every listener’s stream — monitored on one screen, and broken out below by the part of the plant it covers. Pick one to go deeper.

Air Chain View

Each station drawn as its real path — studio, STL hop, transmitter site, tower — with every box live on it.

Alerting that calls you

A real phone call with answering-machine detection, walking your call-down list until a human picks up.

Explore →

Transmitters & RF

Forward and reflected power, VSWR, PA temperatures, modulation and exciter lock, trended at every site.

Explore →

Online streams

Shoutcast, Icecast and HLS, heard the way your listeners hear them. Dead air or a dropped stream rings your phone.

Explore →

STL & codecs

IP and RF STLs and remote codecs — levels, path delay, jitter, loss and link state at both ends.

Explore →

Barix decoders

Whether the stream is actually playing — buffer, source, audio and every dropout, not just a ping.

Explore →

HD Radio

Importer sync, run state, DTAC confidence and silence on every HD channel.

Explore →

RDS through any firewall

RadioText and HD-PSD delivered to the exporter locally — no VPN, no ports, no IT change request.

Explore →

Audio & AoIP

Silence on AoIP destinations, live processor meters, and AES67 counted apart on every port.

Explore →

EAS & compliance

EAS log monitoring, FCC Part 11 tracking, contour maps and FAA tower-light logging — defensible records.

Explore →

Dial-up remotes

A remote control on a bare copper line — BNM dials it on a schedule, reads every channel and calls you when one drifts out of range.

Explore →

Power

UPS on line or on battery, AC power and generator status, and temperatures at every site.

Explore →

Network & firewall

Switches, routers, firewalls, links and UPS — 25+ drivers watching the plumbing that carries your audio.

Explore →

Site documentation

Gate codes, maps and directions, every IP and login, ISPs and backups, the log book — kept at the site, one click from the alert.

Explore →

Towers & lighting

Every structure drawn to scale with what's on it, the Part 17 lighting spec pulled from the FCC ASR, and a §17.49 log that fills itself from telemetry.

Explore →

Work orders

Generator runs, tower-light inspections, filters, the part someone has to buy — scheduled, assigned, tracked to done. The daytime half of the NOC.

Network monitoring
Everything the air chain rides on

Switches, firewalls, streams — and the power behind them.

The network your audio travels over and the power that keeps it all lit, watched by the same system, on the same screen, with the same alarms.

All of network monitoring →

NET

Switches & routers

Every port up or down, traffic in and out, errors, CPU, temperature and uptime — with AES67 and Livewire audio counted on its own.

FW

Firewalls & WAN

WAN and uplink state, throughput, sessions, latency and packet loss — plus ping, jitter, traceroute and throughput tests run between your own sites.

STR

Online streams

Shoutcast, Icecast and HLS, heard the way your listeners hear them — checked from inside your market, so a regional block never fakes an outage. Dead air or a dropped stream calls you.

PWR

Power

UPS on line or on battery, battery state and load; PDUs and transfer switches; utility power and generator status off the site’s remote control; temperature and humidity.

Don’t see your box?If it answers SNMP, HTTP or a documented serial or IP protocol, adding a driver is routine — not a research project. We add new gear every day.

Get started

Put the whole chain on one wall.

Tell us what’s in your racks and how many sites you run. We’ll stand up a demo pointed at your gear and wire a test dial-out to your phone. When something trips, alerting decides whether it’s a log line, an email or a phone call — and you set the rules.

The box nobody else watches

A Barix answers ping even while it plays silence.

Most monitoring asks one question: does the box respond? A Barix decoder keeps responding long after its stream has stopped, so the transmitter carries dead air while every light stays green. BNM reads the stream itself — whether it’s playing, how full the buffer is, whether the source upstream is answering, and the audio on both channels — and calls you when it stops.

Illustration: the stream to a Barix decoder at the transmitter site stops. The Barix still answers ping and the transmitter stays on, but BNM sees the buffer drain, flags no stream, and calls the on-call list.
