Retrieves, interprets, distributes and archives data across multiple agencies and networks
GenWatch3-ATIA empowers system administrators to monitor, manage, and report on voice and data systems from multiple sources in multi-site enterprise networks. It uses the GenGET (Genesis Global Enterprise Tool) utility to capture data from sources such as ATIA (radio traffic), GGSN (IV&D and Enhanced Data), GPS (Motorola IMW), SNMP, and UEM. GenWatch3-ATIA then distributes that data to desired connection points.

Integrates Data, Voice, Usage, Location, and Diagnostic Information
GenWatch3® empowers system administrators to monitor, manage, and report on Motorola voice and data systems for commercial, private and public safety agencies. One integrated tool pulls together all system-wide data to display real-time activity, send critical notifications, and archive data for forensic reporting and comprehensive analysis.
GenWatch3 significantly reduces the amount of time spent assembling or dissecting data from various sources while substantially increasing the amount of information readily available. This provides system administrators the ability to proactively measure and meet system performance metrics.
GenWatch3 combines power and innovation to provide tools necessary to monitor, manage and report on two-way communications networks:
- ASTRO® 25
- Dimetra TETRA
Modular Design
The modular design of GenWatch3 provides the flexibility to expand functionality and features as needed.

- GenWatch3 manages communication between Motorola interfaces, such as CADI, UNS, and the multiple agencies that share a single system
- When there are critical system events, alerts are sent in level of priority to the people who need the information the most
- SNMP
- Audio-visual alerts
- Text messages
- Comprehensive billing and customer management module simplifies administration of multiple commercial or public safety agencies
- Key Performance Indicators display real-time WACN, system, zone, and site activity on calls, busies, connections, and peak usage in user-defined intervals
Forensic Reporting
GenWatch3 Reports offer in-depth forensic analysis of all system activity and clearly display usage and performance. Every packet of data is decoded, sorted and stored in MS SQL databases for multiple years with no loss of detail. These reports are displayed in flexible MS Excel® and can be used to trend utilization for resource planning.
- Every packet of data received from the ASTRO 25 network is decoded, sorted, and stored in MS SQL databases for multiple years without any loss of detail
- Reports offer in-depth forensic analysis of archived system activity
- Trend system utilization for resource planning
- Usage reporting for cost allocation
- Reports are flexible and may be modified and saved to create custom variations

GenWatch3 Data Warehouse
The GenWatch3 Data Warehouse solution optimizes multi-zone two-way network analytics by consolidating data into a single, centralized storage archive. With GenWatch3 Reports, data is available on demand for viewing and analysis.
Why add a data warehouse?
- Large repository that provides additional long-term storage of system data
- Syncs with the Database Server to pull older data (90+ days) for query optimization
- Stores all data for long-term periods, so short-term reports run more efficiently
- Data is synced from the Database Server every 24 hours
- GenWatch3 Reports available on demand
- Provides a layer of data redundancy in an alternate location
- Improves Database Server efficiency
Centralized Manager of Agency Filters
The CMAF filters ATIA data and distributes it to agencies by zone, talkgroup, and/or subscriber ID. In the event of an interruption, the data stream is buffered, so no data is lost. It is the perfect solution for multi-zone networks with member agencies who want to manage and report on their own subscribers.
