Built for unattended sites

What goes into every ES-DAB transmitter, and how a whole network is controlled from one place.

High-power ES-DAB transmitter, 19-inch rack, RAL 7011 front panel

RF performance

A wideband amplifier and precorrection maintain signal quality at every power level.

Wideband Doherty amplifier, 170 to 240 MHz with no tuning.
Efficiency up to 45% at full power.
MER 34 dB at full power, 38 dB typical at half power.
Linear and non-linear precorrection, continuous, single or static mode.
RF output N, 7/16, EIA 7/8″ or EIA 1 5/8″, depending on the model.

Inputs and network

Inputs for every distribution method: ETI, EDI over IP, SRT over the Internet or satellite.

EDI over the Internet: the built-in SRT decoder receives the EDI stream over the public Internet.
EDI over IP with VLAN and IGMP v2/v3, on two Ethernet ports.
ETI over G.703, with automatic format detection.
Optional DVB-S/S2 satellite receiver with GSE de-encapsulation.
SFN and MFN with a high-precision internal GPS-Glonass receiver, 10 MHz and 1PPS.

Control

Set up at the rack, then manage it remotely.

Touch display on the front panel.
Web GUI for full control from any browser.
SNMP for integration with existing network management systems.
NMS, our network management software: alarms by e-mail and Telegram.

Construction

Designed for remote, unattended sites.

Every site on one map

Our NMS monitors your network in real time: over SNMP it remotely reads every connected transmitter’s parameters, charts their trends up to two years back and sends alarms by e-mail and Telegram.

NMS: map of transmitter sites in Italy, station status, active alarms and alarm history

To monitor the multiplex on air as well as the transmitter: MuxScope.
