Newtec Azimuth AZ290 1+1 RF Demodulator Redundancy Switching System
1:1 redundancy for Azimuth Series RF Demodulators
AZ290 Demod Redundant Switch System
This product has reached end of life and has been replaced by the Newtec USS0202.
The Newtec AZ290 1+1 Demodulator Redundancy Switch provides a versatile 1 + 1 protection scheme for satellite demodulators. The AZ290 is easy to operate and switches simultaneously the input IF/L-band signals and output data signals.
Auto Switching
The switching between the main demodulator and the redundant demodulator can be done automatically through alarm contacts, manually through the front panel or the dedicated web interface, or remotely via a monitoring and control system.
When the automatic mode is activated, the AZ290 monitors the alarm contacts of the two demodulators through cable connections. When an alarm is detected, the input and output switches are toggled, effectively rerouting the input and output signals to the redundant demodulator. The fast switching ensures a minimal service interruption.
Extensive Input Options
In its default confi guration, the AZ290 only switches an output ASI or G703 (75 ohms) signal. A wide range of input and output switching options makes the AZ290 compatible with almost any signal used in satellite communications. The range of options includes IF and L-band input switches or splitters as well as ASI, optical, G.703, SDH and HSSI output switches.
The AZ290 is easy to operate and monitor. All control and monitoring parameters are available locally on the front panel and remotely through a web interface. It is also possible to control or monitor the AZ290 via RMCP or SNMP.
