DekTec... Receiving Loud + Clear (SATCOM)
DekTec is expanding its network appliance range with the DTE-3137 Networked DVB-S(2) Satellite Receiver. This compact device incorporates convenient Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology to obsolete the need for an external power supply. The device supports DVBS2 including 16-APSK and 32-APSK constellations, as well as legacy DVB-S signals. Both legacy and modern broadcast equipment can be served with simultaneous output over ASI and IP. The IP port supports SMPTE 2022-1/2 with 2D FEC encoder for robust transport over IP. The LNB can be powered from PoE. The hardware is controlled by an easy-to-use web-browser-based dashboard. Standard SNMP offers remote control of the unit and error reporting to an SNMP manager. For operator's convenience, the front of the unit displays Mode, Carrier, Frequency, SNR, BER, and IP/MAC address for easy verification of the signal input(s). The unit is excellent for use in space-constrained operations as up to 24 modules can be housed in just 3RU rack space by using smart installation onto a DIN rail. The DTE-3137 is made with attention to detail and professional grade quality that clients worldwide have come to expect from DekTec. It joins the growing range of PoE products comprising various IP interfaced adapters.
