Fte maximal launches its latest innovations

The company Fte maximal mantains an active part in different international activities and events that take place in the various market sectors. This proactive attitude of Fte maximal allows the position of the brand to keep growing and increasing its international presence and awareness day by day. For example, we provide a sample of some of the outstanding events and activities of the last months.

Fte maximal, present in “Sound Vision Leisure 2010” in Nicosia (Cyprus) The “Sound Vision Leisure” is the main trade fair of the audiovisual market in Cyprus, which took place this year from 7th to 10th October in Nicosia.

For the fourth year, Fte maximal has taken part in this event through its exclusive distributor in Cyprus, MS Electronics, LTD (www.mstronics.com).

MS Electronics, LTD showed the most recently developed products to both the professional installer and the end user.

In the Professional section, the new Digital Transmodulators (TKF 310 and TKQ 310), that converts the signals coming from Satellite or Terrestrial for their distribution in a 100% digital format, were shown.

Also, other interesting products for the installers were the prestigious Multiswitches “Made in Germany” noted for their high quality and reliability, as well as the new amplifiers with Aluminum housing, the ZM Series.

In the End User’s section, the main item of interest was the new DVB-T receivers: the Univers U5500 and U6500. As mentioned in the previous issue of Fte News, these DVB-T receivers are MPEG-4 SD and HD. In Cypriot market such a product is a must, as their broadcast signals are only MPEG-4.

In this way, once again, our distributor MS Electronics, LTD worked hard promoting their latest innovations, and year after year continues to pionner to meet the needs of their different markets.

CANT Seminar Stockholm Last 14th October it was held in Stockholm the annual seminar organized by CANT association.

CANT is composed by the key actors on the Swedish TV installations market and also organizes an annual seminar where present-day issues are discussed.

This year, some of the topics have been: The development of the new DVB-T2 transmissions, the establishment of fiber and coax networks, the reorganization of the UHF band spectrum or the Swedish viewers preferences.

During the seminar, attendants could approach to the Fte maximal stand set together with our Swedish distributor AKM Nordic, AB. from which we are developing the market together since last twelve years.

In this occasion, the new mediaMAX MINI S2CT, field meter, GENIUS 5 (programmable head amplifier, HCA ZM line amplifier series and the whole range of stand alone and cascade Multiswitches (SEM, OLS, DK series) awoke most of the interests.

The talks of our Fte maximal staff to the end installers were constructive with an overall positive feedback. From our side, we will keep on maintaining the positive introduction of Fte maximal in Sweden.

BCN Distribuciones S.A.U., since 2nd September 2010 is member of the CAI The CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) is the recognized body for the aerial and satellite industry for the UK and Republic of Ireland. The CAI is committed to raising Standards within the industry and ensuring high quality installations are carried out by each of its members.

Professional installers in the UK and Ireland become members of the CAI to guarantee their customers quality will be obtained from a qualified installer who uses CAI benchmarked

materials. CAI benchmarking lays down minimum standards for the technical performance of products based on the specific technical parameters for satisfactory broadcast reception. CAI manufacturers and distributors ensure quality products are supplied to installing companies through the certification of benchmarked quality.

After the presence of Fte Maximal at the “CAI Trade Fair 2010” in

June, as exhibitors, the company has gone one step further to approach the UK market, by becoming members of the CAI. As it was mentioned in last issue of Fte News, Fte maximal is aiming to continually increase its presence in the UK. We feel becoming members of the UK’s trade association will be a big advantage to reach this objective.

Product News Fte maximal expands its range of Cascadeable Multiswitches

F

te maximal’s range of cascadeable multiswitches “Made in Germany” has been expanded with the incorporation of KAD and OLY series into the former DK series.

These ranges of multiswitches are used for making cascade installations with a great number of connected users. They allow distribution of 8 or 16 polarities (of 2 or 4 different satellites) plus the TV terrestrial signal to all the users.

Depending on the model, the signal can be distributed from 4 to 32 recei-

KAD 9x series

vers per floor, making an independent option to receive, in each receiver, the 4 polarities of each satellite.

The headend cascadeable multiswitch incorporates a power supply that feeds the LNC’s. The DK series (16 polarities) and KAD series (8 polarities) even create the 22 KHz tone in order to use, optionally, the LNC’s type QUAD. While the TAPs in satellite band are active and fed from each user’s receivers, the terrestrial band is active or passive according to the series:

OLY 9x series

- For OLY series the terrestrial band is passive.

- KAD series has an active terrestrial band.

- DK series has active/passive terrestrial band which is configurable through a microswitch.

For big installations, this range has line amplifiers for the main line in order to compensate losses that are produced through the coaxial cable and the rest of elements in the installation.

Fte maximal has made a genuine effort to retain the mechanical features and the appearance of the other models in the MINI series, This allows the installer to have a complete tool for the analysis of any kind of measurement in a compact device that weighs only 1.8 Kg. Remaining faithful to our philosophy of field strength meter updates, we must emphasize that through this mechanical compatibility the company offers to its clients the opportunity of upgrading from any lower model of MINI series to this new device, by paying only the difference in price. This way, the clients who choose an Fte maximal field strength meter have the option of updating one of their main working tools without having to pay the full cost of a new meter.
