The XPRF platform is a wideband, non-blocking, full fanout RF router for signals from 850MHz to 2.3GHz including L-Band and other applications. While housed in a compact 14RU chassis, the XPRF14-128x128 makes no compromises on features, performance and most importantly, reliability. For system requirements above 128x128, multiple units may be combined up to 2048x2048.
- With satellite bandwidth at a premium, higher order modulation schemes and coding rates afford the ability to pack more data throughput in less RF bandwidth
- In order to realize these gains, increased RF signal quality is required for signal demodulation and recovery
- As the RF router is the heart of the facility's RF distribution system, it must not impair the signals passing through it, but rather must preserve the quality of these signals from input to output
- Evertz understands the needs of modern facilities to take advantage of the latest modulation technologies
- Means to the importance of signal quality and the impact on recoverability of signals
- Designed with signal quality as a top priority and is the industry's best performing large-capacity router with superior frequency response, isolation, return loss and linearity
- Active components (including fans) on the XPRF14-128x128 are modular, front-accessible and hot-swappable
- No cables ever need to be removed and no rear access to the router is required to service any module
- Every active module in the unit has redundancy, including input/output/midpoint cards, fan modules, power supplies and controllers
- System expansion is required above 128x128, the XPRF14-128x128 offers built-in gain, which allows the use of passive splitters and combiners
- Passive devices do not affect system reliability compared to architectures without available gain that employ added points of failure through active splitters and combiners
- Large-scale RF router on the market to offer optional integrated LNB power, individually controllable on all 128 inputs
- LNB power supplies are redundant and hot-swappable, and feature individual active current protection per port
- Automatic recovery, so there are never any fuses to replace. LNB current is also individually monitored on each port
- Adjustable alarm thresholds providing a means of monitoring LNB health and providing advanced warning of failure
- RF router is typically installed early on in a facility's signal chain in downlink applications, and closer to the end of the signal chain in uplinks
- Normally a device with a large amount of the facility's revenue-generating signals flowing through it
- Fast, automatic response to problems ensures that this revenue is maintained and downtime costs are not incurred
- Provides an unprecedented level of signal protection. Sophisticated self-diagnostics monitor signal paths in the router
- In the event that there is any fault detected, the router will quickly and automatically re-route the signal to maintain continuity
- Offers total protection of incoming and outgoing feeds and the revenue they generate
