Ethernet Directional Power Sensor Monitor
A powerful monitoring solution for smaller radio networks.
Maximize Up-Time
Ideal for smaller radio communication systems and paging networks, Bird's 4043E sensor provides robust antenna and power monitoring. Tailored for smaller radio sites where the Bird 3141 Channel Power Monitor would be under-utilized, it connects directly to the Internet or a private IP network, allowing for remote setup and monitoring.
New! Password Protection for Enhanced Security
Bird’s 4043E Sensors now feature password protection with our latest firmware upgrade. Enjoy robust security with strong password enforcement and easy setup through a user-friendly web interface. Configuration settings are safeguarded by passwords, preventing unauthorized changes. The Web UI includes a user management menu where the admin can add multiple users with individual passwords.
Why Choose Bird’s 4043E?
- Reliable Remote Monitoring: Integrate effortlessly with your network for remote access and monitoring, ensuring you can manage your systems from anywhere.
- Proactive Issue Detection: The 4043E detects reduced antenna VSWR, providing early warnings for potential issues like water ingress or damage, so you can address them promptly.
- Comprehensive Alarm System: Configurable alarms for forward power and VSWR send alerts via SNMP traps, keeping you informed and ready to act.
Key Features
- Password Protection: Robust security with user-friendly setup and flexible access control.
- Broad Frequency Range: Monitors 8 bands, from 118 to 940 MHz.
- Ethernet Interface: Easy integration with your existing network.
