[SatNews] At IBC 2011, DEV will introduce a new product series...

This new product series will offer as much as 70 percent cost savings by reducing devices to their core functionality. The CFP (Core Function Products) series provides broadcast, satellite, and CATV customers with the same superior RF signal transmission quality for which DEV is known around the globe, but deliberately comes without certain features available in DEV’s standard product versions. The worldwide debut of the new product series will occur at the IBC 2011 trade fair, September 9 to 13, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The first products in the new series to be unveiled are L-band splitters (2 x 1:8 and 4 x 1:8), broadband switches (multiplexers/demultiplexers) n x 1:8 and n x 1:16, and CATV band combiners/splitters (8:1 and 16:1 combiners, 1:8 and 1:16 splitters), all in a 1RU form factor. By dropping certain features such as alarm and monitoring ports, RF sensing and redundant power supplies, DEV is able to price the new CFP product series at up to 70 percent less than the standard full-featured versions of the products.

DEV’s new Core Function Products series, as well as other DEV products, will be showcased on the trade show floor at DEV’s booth number 1.F34 during the IBC 2011 convention.
