Norsat RSW LNB Redundant Switching System
Receive redundancy for LNB: X, C, Ku, or Ka Band, LNA: X. C, Ku, or Ka Band, BDC: X, C, Ku, or Ka Band, with internal or external reference
RSW LNB / LNA Redundant Switch
The Norsat RSW Redundant LNB Switch Systems automatically detect signal faults and switch to an alternate LNB or LNA. This provides maximum satellite service availability for receive-side signal continuity which is maintained via continuous power detection, and upon detecting a fault, signal is automatically switched to the reserve LNB.
Available for either 1:1 or 1:2 redundancy applications, and in either IDU or headless configurations, Norsat LNB/LNA Redundant Switch solutions combine the reliability and performance pedigree of down conversion products with the ultimate system safeguarding solution for remote and challenging satellite terminal installations.
