Satellite Redundancy, 1:1 Backup Switch | BLR-4X
BLANKOM
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, automatic 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 all the times.
Functionality:
The system will typically consist of BLANKOM BLR-4X backup unit and two satellite receiving antennas: a primary antenna and a backup antenna. The system is than equipped with an automatic switch-over mechanism that monitors the signal strength of the primary antenna.
Automatic Switch-over: 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.
| Inputs | 8 SAT-IF from the LNB's of 2 satellite dishes, one master and one reserve |
|---|---|
| Outputs | 4 SAT-IF signal from the active LNB |

Satellite Redundancy, Backup Switch for 1:1 Dish and LNB Backup
BLANKOM BLR-4X 19’’ 1RU rack mount automatic L-Band Redundancy Switch is designed for serving up to 2 standard Quattro LNB’s as SAT A is the master and SAT B the backup source.
In case of the signal loss on any SAT-IF path of SATELLITE A, BLR-4X switches automatically to SATELLITE B as signal source. Then it monitors permanently, if the signal from SAT A has been recovered. If yes, it returns to SAT A otherwise SAT B remains as the active source.
BLANKOM BTR-4X ensures that there is no signal loss at the Headend in case of a LNB failure or satellite dish misalignment due to weather conditions.
Multiswitch optimized for use in DVB and IPTV headends.
Can feed headend equipment with SAT-IF signals of different satellites or can directly feed satellite receivers of households with IF+RF signals combined.
