Wavestream — Rack ‘Em Up With PowerStream (SatBroadcasting™)

Wavestream Corporation has introduced the PowerStream™ 757C-i 600W C-band indoor rack-mount solid state power amplifier, the first in a line of new PowerStream C-band and Ku-band products scheduled for release this year targeting the broadcast industry. The PowerStream 757C-i is designed as a plug and play replacement for traditional 750W linearized Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) solutions used in broadcast satellite communications, teleport and satellite news gathering systems.

The PowerStream 757C-i incorporates Wavestream’s field-proven, next generation Spatial Power Advantage™ technology to provide high output power and greater efficiency. When used in a redundant configuration, the PowerStream 757C-i draws less power than 750W linearized TWT system solutions and offers zero warm up time. For teleport and satellite news gathering operators, this translates into improved reliability and reduced energy and lifecycle maintenance costs. The PowerStream 757C-i is suitable for mobile and fixed rack-mount satellite communications systems and is available as a single unit or for redundant configurations. The PowerStream 757C-i also includes an easy-to-view front panel display screen and quick-touch function keys for convenient access to a variety of system status data, including power, temperature, fault, and local/remote information.
