The challenge: More and more space crafts orbiting the earth Bigger and more teleports with many different sizes and designs of antennas
Importance of Signal Handling GEO orbiting satellites well exceed 420 (currently 403) Increasing traffic density, as well as capacity means broader IF bands (E.G HTS Satellites) Antennas designed to handle multiple RF links of different frequencies; Ka, Ku and C-bands

Custom outdoor fibre cabinet The brief: A Major contractor required 104 x RF over Fibre Links for an antenna array. ETL supplied StingRay 200 Series fibre chassis with redundant 10MHz distribution housed in a environmentally controlled 42U custom outdoor cabinet.
CBC Fibre installation The brief: CBC wanted to connect via fibre 13 antennas from their Toronto broadcast centre, with minimum number of ODU s. LNB powering required. -35 to +40 deg C. Ethernet monitoring via fibre (ability). Total 47 links. ETL solution & roles: 9 ODU enclosures, with total of 47 200 series TX modules, control panel and cables / fibre management. 2 x 2U Stingray fibre chassis with total 24 dual RX fibre modules. Each chassis has local and remote control, and full hot swap. ODU202 click for link Customer particularly like the ODU202 enclosure with remote control monitoring and communications (indoor functionality but in an ODU). Heater included. Ethernet over fibre may be added later.
Redundant Fibre installation The brief: Etisalat needed 12x 1+1 redundant fibre links for downlink and uplink for some new antennas in Jebel Ali. Requirements included ability to disable (fix) AGC on the uplink & redundant fibre chassis for added resilience. ETL solution & roles: ETL s Scorpion passive 2 way splitters are at the front end of each system. 1U chassis holding 4 x 2-ways. Stingray 1U chassis each populated with 4 x RX OR TX modules. Total 6 chassis to give redundancy. 26128 modular system chassis with 2x1 redundancy switches with autoswitchover (total 3 chassis with 4 cards in each).
Case Studies & applications Excelling in RF Engineering
Case Study The brief: Upgrading and expanding L-band switch matrices and need 64x384 with specific RF performance; compact space and simple cable installation Vulcan based 64x384 system in comfortable 3 racks ETL solution & roles: Rack layouts and cabling agreed, with particular regard to concerns over total cabling requirements to modems and antennas Customisation: cable management and termination panels (standard RF performance) Supply of complete system from termination panel in to termination panel out. Supply and integration into racks.
