Advantech Has Proven They Are Rather Gamey About RF

Advantech AMT manufactures satellite and terrestrial wireless communication equipment. The company, in collaboration with ProComSat, their Algerian partner, had successfully installed RF equipment in support of the All-African Games broadcasts. The event was broadcast across the African continent. The Advantech high performance Solid State Power Amplifiers, integrated to the ProComSat C-band VSAT antenna, were fitted into an SNG vehicle operated by Télédiffusion d’Algérie (TDA) and transmitted live video footage of the All-African Games from the Stade du 5 Juillet.




The system that was used in Algeria is part of the High-Power C-band SSPA product range. The Advantech SSPAs are characterized by high linearity and by their high thermal dissipation efficiency. This results in best in class Mean-Time-Between-Failure and also features cost effective redundancy. “Advantech AMT has effectively helped its customers in Africa obtain reliability, linearity and high power with the most powerful and reliable solid state power amplifiers. Advantech High Power C-band SSPA packages have pushed the technological boundary to limits not previously achievable with such a level of performance and reliability,” said Vagan Shakhgildian, President for the Satellite Equipment division at Advantech AMT—Montreal, Quebec
