The company’s award-winning designs benefit from a quarter of a century of experience in the RF distribution sector, with all new products and innovations being developed and built by its growing team of R&D experts in the U.K. The latest Asia projects include….
- ETL’s VTX-10 matrix was used by a major international sports broadcaster in Singapore to upgrade its downlink system. The unit is designed to continuously run without any issues
- ETL’s NGM-21 has been used by a tier one telecoms service provider for the upgrade of downlink stations in the Asia region
- ETL’s Modular system chassis has been installed by one of Asia’s fastest growing satellite operators with a mixture of splitter and combiner modules for receive and transmit paths
ETL will also be showcasing its new addition to the V-series at CommunicAsia and will be demonstrated on the booth for the first time in Asia. The product family, designed and built at ETL’s base in the U.K., includes the 128×128 Vulcan Matrix Router, the 64×64 Vortex Matrix Router, the NEW 16×32 Valiant Matrix and the 16×16 Victor Matrix. All are capable of remote control via serial or Ethernet port with SNMP and web browser interface—demo units to be shown include…
- 64×64 Vortex Matrix—Model VTX-10—The Vortex is a high performance solution for frequent signal routing changes and designed for busy teleports and master control rooms (MCR) where rack space is in short supply. With 64×64 inputs and outputs, it is able to work as a distributive switch matrix or router for downlinking L-band signals or combining multiple technologies into one product
- 16×32 Valiant Matrix—Model VLT-10—The Valiant is ideal for smaller broadcast and satellite ground stations, providing the flexibility of dependable RF Routing. It is perfect for use by teleports with limited rack space for occasional use satcom traffic. The Valiant has recently been delivered for use in compact marine applications
- 16×16 Victor Matrix—Model VTR-10—The Victor is designed for television receive-only (TVRO), smaller teleports and satellite ground stations, providing the flexibility of RF routing. The matrix can be used for L-band, IF, and broadband applications
Also to be shown are…
- Dual Redundant Amplifier—Model 2570—On display for the first time at CommunicAsia is ETL’s dual redundant amplifier unit which is typically used in the front end of the RF chain, providing cable loss for teleports, TVRO and head-ends. This amplifier unit contains dual redundant hot-swap L-band variable gain amplifier modules and is housed in a compact 1U high 19” rack-mountable shelf. It operates over the 850-2150MHz frequency range, with up to 36dB gain and up to 8dB positive slope compensation
- 2×1 Redundancy Switch—Model 23206—This new redundancy switch may be used to provide redundancy for a main feed in the event of failure. It includes a modem alarm input for automatic switching and operates in the extended L-band (850-2450MHz) range. The shelf can be operated in manual, auto or remote mode with dual redundant power supplies for reliability in service. It is a non-latching coaxial relay often used as a failsafe to the standby feed and switches to standby if no power is applied.
These products can be used in all sectors including broadcast, telecoms, satellite operator and government/military.
