MotoSAT MESA 1.2 HPX High Speed Motorized Earth Station Antenna

01/25/2012

MotoSAT’s high speed MESA 1.2 HPX High Speed Motorized Earth Station Antenna is the most rugged motorized VSAT system ever. It is certainly best of class.

The MESA HPX is raising the bar and taking stationary VSAT communication to the next step and on the move.

Motorized RF Skew Assembly allows automatic alignment of the LNB and HPA-BUC to any position in the horizontal and vertical fields.

Automatic Satellite Acquisition
The MESA HPX is a motorized multi-platform satellite antenna with three axis alignment. Using the MotoSAT H3 Antenna Controller, the MESA HPX will automatically acquire any target KU or C-Band satellite worldwide using advance satellite acquisition methods.

Rugged, Reliable, Functional and Secure
The MESA HPX is a industry leading solution. The MESA HPX enables the user to maintain critical Voice/Data communication in extreme environments delivering security and peace of mind when standard forms of communications are no longer feasible due to location or technical complications. The MESA HPX eliminates costly re-pointing and network downtime.

Flexible, with Ease of Operation
The MESA HPX operates seamlessly with all commercially available satellite modems, allowing access to any broadband application via satellite. The MotoSAT MESA HPX allows personnel with little or no satellite experience to operate VSAT equipment for anytime/anywhere communications.

Permanent or Semi-Portable Applications
The MESA HPX can easily be relocated when mounted on a variety of mobile platforms thereby making your VSAT communication system mobile.

Inclined Orbit Tracking
Inclined Orbit satellites offer a cost effective alternative to traditional GEO station kept satellite bandwidth. With its motorized auto-aligning capabilities for both elevation and azimuth, the MESA HPX can accurately track inclined orbit satellites anywhere in the world.

Redundancy
Most businesses rely upon terrestrial connections for voice and data communications. When these traditional means go down, whether for short durations or long-term outages, your enterprise could be without critical services for hours or even days. MotoSAT’s satellite to LAN failover system provides your enterprise with the assurance that critical services will be uninterrupted when an outage occurs.

vehicles and provide a range of data rates using low power transmit block up converters (BUCs).

1000K MVSAT Features

  • Operate independently of terrestrial-based communications systems that are susceptible to local service interruptions, natural disasters
    and sabotage.
  • Ensure that mobile satellite communications terminals can provide high-performance broadband connectivity at an affordable price.
  • Are an alternative to T1 installation, providing cost effective, high-bandwidth broadband connectivity to mobile users.
  • Are ideal for homeland defense, disaster/crisis management, emergency and corporate communications.
  • Provide video, voice, IP and data communication from any point to any other point on earth with extraordinary reliability and higher data
    rates than comparable products.
  • Mount on almost any vehicle, including those as small as an SUV or mini-van.

The following product features are offered exclusively by AvL Technologies:

Auto-Acquisition Controllers

AvL one button satellite acquisition antenna control systems provide fully automatic, modem independent, acquisition and tracking
capabilities for rapid deployment. Satellites are typically acquired in less than three minutes.

Thanks to AvL’s exclusive auto-acquisition technology, our products can be reliably operated by non-technical operators without any
requirement for external testing equipment or laptop.

Zero Backlash Roto-Lok® Cable Drive Positioners

The most important specification for a satellite antenna, particularly an auto-acquisition antenna, is pointing accuracy and the
stability and stiffness of the positioner under the most extreme environmental conditions.

AvL’s patented Roto-Lok® cable drive technology provides the ultimate in precision and stiffness compared to geared drive systems and,
unlike most other systems, is free of backlash. It is a maintenance-free dry mechanism able to operate in a very wide range of difficult
and hazardous conditions without degradation.

Dual PSU and BISS available for Ericsson MX8400 Transport Stream Multiplexer

11/21/2011
Announcing two major functionalities on the Ericsson MX8400 – Dual Hot Swap Power Supplies and BISS encryption.

Dual Hot Swap PSU
The MX8400 has been available with a single fixed PSU. Ericsson is introducing a new MX8400 chassis that supports a dual hot swap power supply.

Two versions of the MX8400 chassis are available. Care should be taken to ensure that the right part number is it will not be possible to upgrade from one chassis type to another:

  • MX8400/BAS – Original chassis with a fixed single PSU
  • MX8400/BAS/DPS – New chassis that supports dual hot swap PSU; comes with one PSU fitted.

An optional second power supply (MX8400/HWO/DPS) is required to turn the MX8400/BAS/DPS chassis into a hot swap PSU unit.

Whether the original chassis or the one with dual power supply is used, the multiplexing functionality as well as the number of option slots available between the two chassis are identical.

BISS
MX8400 has supported DVB CSA since its release in July 2007 and is integrated with a number of difference DVB CSA vendors.

Ericsson’s MX8400 now supports BISS encryption as well as DVB CSA. It is possible to have both these enabled on the MX8400 simultaneously. Furthermore it is possible to scramble services within a single transport stream with either BISS or DVB CSA. However it is not possible to scramble a service within a transport stream with both DVB CSA and BISS.

BISS can be enabled on the MX8400 by application of the appropriate licenses.

Ericsson RX8252 Program Transcoder

10/05/2011
The Ericsson RX8252 Program Transcoder allows legacy systems to continue MPEG-2 operation whilst allowing the Programmer to distribute using MPEG-4 AVC compression by offering both dense and high quality transcoding from MPEG-4 AVC to MPEG-2.

Broadcasters and Programmers are continually looking to take advantage of technological advances that reduce their distribution costs. MPEG-4 AVC compression in conjunction with DVB-S2 satellite transmission is the perfect combination to achieve such transmission efficiency gains. However, many TV systems are locked into MPEG-2 technology for the foreseeable future by the deployed set-top box population.

The RX8252 Program Transcoder offers a high level of transcode density and sophistication. The RX8252 can be configured to enable up to 6 transcodes of any combination of HD to HD, HD to SD and SD to SD transcoding – allowing the programmer to address all tiers of service providers. In addition to video processing the RX8252 Program Transcoder also provides an unsurpassed level of flexibility in its network interfacing through a choice of service filtering and PID remapping capabilities.

Program content delivered over satellite is securely protected through the RX8252 Program Transcoder’s conditional access capabilities. The RX8252 is fully integrated to provide compatibility with DVB Common Interface and BISS CA. Conditional access and control ability can be further enhanced by employing Director by Ericsson – a sophisticated CA and receiver population control and management system.

RX8252 Product Overview

A Program Transcoder With an Unrivalled Pedigree
The RX8252 Program Transcoder shares its heritage with Ericsson’s
fourth generation RX8200 Advanced Modular Receiver, providing a
level of quality and flexibility that is unsurpassed.

Increased Distribution Capacity and Efficiency
The RX8252 Program Transcoder, in combination with Ericsson’s
MPEG-4 AVC Encoders, DVB-S2 and PREKOR™ Satellite
Modulators achieves a level of bandwidth efficiency that is unrivalled
allowing more or higher quality HD services per transponder
compared with any competing solution.

Wide Choice of Inputs and Outputs for Enhanced Connectivity
The RX8252 can be integrated into a variety of system architectures,
including satellite delivery, ASI and IP systems through a choice of
input and output modules.

Simplified Control and Lower Cost of Operations
Organizations with large populations of RX8252 Program Transcoders
or other Ericsson receivers can simplify control by integrating with the
Director by Ericsson control system. Director provides remote, overair,
single-view control and CA from a central location, reducing the
need for on-site local operators.
