ETL brings RF over fibre solutions

CABSAT visitors stopping by the ETL stand will be able to view the company’s full range of RF over fibre products, which have been received well in the region, with a major broadcaster and telecommunications service provider placing significant orders.

StingRay builds on existing RF expertise, has superior RF specs and provides a unique design for high isolation applications. The compact unit, which incorporates single mode fibre links, enables remote control and monitoring of temperature, fan status and power supply status via web browser interface and SNMP.

ETL’s 128×128 compact Vulcan matrix, an extremely compact matrix with impressive RF performance, will also be on display at CABSAT. This compact configuration has also seen support in the region from a major broadcaster. It provides a high density solution for larger RF routing systems and is typically used for distribution of multiple L-band signals in a broadcast environment, through large satellite teleports with a high volume of satcoms traffic. It is housed in a 16U 19” rack enclosure and has extensive on-board monitoring and reporting of RF card amplifier status, CPU and PSU status and HMI communications.

Another product CABSAT visitors will be able to view is Alto, variable gain Alto amplifiers which have been supplied to Etisalat and ND Satcom for the Al Jazeera Network solution provided by Media Group International. The Alto family of amplifiers includes 4, 8 and 16 module options as well as redundant configurations with variable gain. It can be remotely controlled and monitored via Ethernet and web browser interface and also via the front panel display. The design is modular and resilient, allowing hot-swap of amplifiers and power supplies.
