ATCi, a provider of satellite communications systems and broadband services, announced that it has been selected by one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies in Latin America to provide its 64 x 256 matrix systems to outfit its cable head-end operations in Latin America.
The modular RF signal matrix was designed for routing and monitoring L-band, IF and other signals within a satellite communications facility. Built on a modular architecture, all of the active components are hot-swappable and front-loading, ensuring ease of maintenance and matrix expansion, the company said.
Additional features include LNB power for multiple scenarios, automatic gain control, salvo operations, monitoring, and alarm reporting of critical signal parameters such as input signal presence and signal level provide flexible RF signal management.
The 64 x 256 matrix system is offered with the remote control panel options for cross-point control and system configuration. Additionally, this flexible routing matrix can be controlled, configured, and monitored via serial control and/or SNMP control over Ethernet, using proprietary or other monitoring and control software.
This system provides 21st century interconnection from RF workflows to video processing workflows best maximizing revenues for next generation video tiers, ATCi said.
Gary Hatch, ATCi’s president said, “Our integration with the Evertz complete content harvesting solution coupled with the Simulsat is simply the best in class technology to fully engage evolving customer viewership requirements for today’s dynamic media landscape.”
