Microwave Distribution Links for Broadcast Applications with Native DVB-ASI from Advantech Wireless Broadband
Direct connection to broadcast equipment means no problematic transitions and encapuslators
MONTREAL, QC, April 16, 2010 /Broadcast PR News/ -- Advantech Advanced Microwave Technologies Inc. ("Advantech Wireless Broadband"), a Quebec-based corporation, announced today that it has launched its new addition to its Transcend 800 product range of high-capacity point-to-point microwave radios. The new model features native DVB-ASI inputs and outputs to enable Broadcasters to connect directly to their transport stream sources without the need for expensive transition equipment or encapsulators.
The Transcend 800 range has been shipping to customers since the beginning of 2010 and can deliver up to 400Mbps across a single point-to-point microwave link via a single indoor unit, or 800Mbps in coupled mode. That data can be multiplexed from a series of data interfaces, now including DVB-ASI. The unit also incorporates a powerful Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch and Layer 3 Gigabit Router for IP (Internet Protocol) traffic.
Transcend 800 automatically adjusts coding and modulation rates, using its "True ACM" technology, to match changing environmental conditions without any payload error. This allows for sustained availability at overall higher capacity.
"Advantech has always listened to our customers and delivered solutions to their needs," stated Vagan Shakhgildian, President and Chief Operating Officer of Advantech. "This is just one example of many where we have brought our technology expertise together to add value to our products."
True ACM Advantech Wireless Broadband asserts "True ACM" as one of its business trademarks.
