Multiswitches and L-Band RF Switching

Distribute and route satellite signals with multiswitches and RF switching equipment. Compare the number of satellite inputs, receiver outputs and control requirements before selecting a model.

More about this category

Distribution and switching of L-band satellite signals inside a headend or across a building, from a passive eight-way unit to a 17×16 matrix.

The BMS series feeds professional headends directly: the BMS-0512 for one satellite, the BMS-0932 for two and the BMS-1732 for four, each designed for continuous load from multiple tuners. The BME-0808 is a passive multiswitch for two satellites and eight receivers, and the BFM-1732C carries four satellites to the subscriber over optical fibre.

Where signals have to be routed rather than distributed, the BMM-1716 is a 17×16 L-band matrix under remote control. The BLR-4X adds 1:1 redundancy, switching to the backup path when the primary feed fails.

Multiswitches in a headend carry a different load from domestic units: every output feeds a tuner that draws current continuously, which is what the BMS series is built for.

  • Automatic switchover unit to the reserve satellite dish in case of a signal loss due to LNB failure or dish gain problem of the main dish. Permanent monitoring if the main dish has become active again. Once the main dish is recovered, automatically switch back to the normal reception conditions.

    A satellite TV receiving antenna backup device is a highly specialized system designed to ensure uninterrupted satellite television service.

    Description:

    The BLANKOM BLR-4X Satellite Redundancy, 1:1 Backup Switch is a device designed to ensure continuous satellite TV reception by automatically switching to a backup antenna when the main antenna's signal fails. This unit is typically employed in SMATV and IPTV systems with satellite TV reception to provide 1:1 redundancy, ensuring the availability of the signals at all times.

    Functionality:

    The system will typically consist of a BLANKOM BLR-4X backup unit and two satellite receiving antennas: a primary antenna and a backup antenna. The system is then equipped with an automatic switch-over mechanism that monitors the signal strength of the primary antenna. Automatic Switchover: When, due to an antenna misalignment, LNB failure, feed horn problem, etc., the unit detects a failure or significant degradation in the signal of the main dish, the backup device switches over to the backup satellite antenna.  The backup antenna is automatically connected to the system, ensuring that there is no loss of TV reception during signal loss. Automatic Switch-back: If the main antenna's signal recovers and is restored to an acceptable quality, the BLR-4X backup unit will automatically switch back to the main antenna without requiring manual intervention.

    Application Area:

    • Residential Use: Homeowners who want reliable satellite TV service without interruptions.
    • Commercial Use: Businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and bars that provide satellite TV to guests or customers.
    • Broadcasting Studios: Media organizations that require constant monitoring of satellite feeds for live broadcasts.
    • Event venues that rely on live satellite feeds for events or broadcasts.
    • Emergency services or government agencies needing reliable communication channels, especially in remote locations.
    • Remote Locations: Areas where connectivity is critical, but signal can be unreliable, such as rural or mountainous regions.

    Benefits:

    • Uninterrupted Service: Ensures continuous access to satellite TV, minimizing downtime during bad weather or technical issues.
    • Convenience: Automated switching reduces the need for manual intervention, making it user-friendly and efficient.
    • Cost-Effective: Prevents potential revenue loss for businesses by maintaining service availability during outages.
    • Enhanced Reliability: Offers peace of mind for users who rely heavily on satellite programming for entertainment or business purposes.

    A BLANKOM BLR-4X Satellite Antenna Backup Unit is essential for ensuring reliability and continuity of satellite TV receiving systems. By providing automatic switching between a main and backup antenna, it minimizes downtime and improves the overall resilience of communications services across various industries.
