Everybody knows that, nowadays, the traditional market of signal reception and distribution is changing, as is the world. Advancing fast, we are participating in the current era: The Digital Era. Anticipating this change years ago, the company decided to focus upon developing future proof products which have become the physical support of the current networks, including the distribution of TV signal.

This way, Fte maximal started its reliable model for the business of the passive elements of NetworJune 2011 issue ks and other equipment related to them, creating a specific department and taking advantage of the large capacity of the company concerning production R&D resources.

Power Distribution Units (PDU) The power distribution units (PDU) are the devices that centralize and make easier the electric distribution of the active devices in the network.

The professional computer system as well as the communications systems must guarantee a non-stop service, for this reason the power distribution units (PDU) are extremely important, offering different configurations that provide greater control and information about the installation.

Fte Networks presents a wide product range, from the simplest requirement up to the most complex ones, covering with all its products the most used applications and usages.

The three series that Fte Networks launches into the market are: Basic Series, Vertical Series and Remote Series.

Basic Series the Basic series of Fte Networks incorporate, over the traditional power distribution units, multiple functionalities for the supervision of the consumption and protection, very useful for those installations that have more advanced needs than the traditional ones.

Vertical Series

Remote Series

The vertical devices series are perfect for setting a modular and versatile installation. The number of power outlets installed could increase according to the expansion of the installation without the need to switch off any device thanks to its guidelines and the modular basis system, which allow “hot-swap� connection.

It is the most sophisticated series of PDUs of Fte Networks. There are different set ups and monitoring and control options, so we can reach an individual control and monitoring for each one of the power outputs, setting the maximums and minimums for the alarm levels and setting up the sending of warnings.

The Vertical series allows the installation to get the power from two different power lines. So, there will be just one power supply distributor in the cabinet, which ensures the electrical supply redundancy to the active devices in the data network.

This protocol allows the control of the remote PDU unit to be done through IT software system.

International Presence Fte maximal’s participation in AOTEC 2011 fair (Madrid)

T

of Fte maximal: RCM 310, which easily allows the usage and monitoring of the whole headend set through a simple internet connection.

In this peerless framework Fte maximal presented the simulation of three kinds of headend scenarios, which cover absolutely all the options that a Network may need. These solutions are:

Another proposal of Fte maximal is the creation of networks with encrypted channels through the usage of its IP Scrambler / Multiplexor. To do so, the channels that will be distributed are previously converted into IP thanks to the DVB-S2, DVBS, DVB- T with or without CI, which have been already in the market for more than 3 years, and they are later processed in the multiplexor / Scrambler, that allows

he AOTEC (Asociación Nacional de Operadores de Telecomunicaciones y Servicios de Internet / National Association of Telecommunications and Internet Services Operators), fair took place last June and, of course, Fte maximal played a very important role, launching into the market its range of headend professional solutions for CATV operators.

The creation of a transmodulator headend made from DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T modules to QAM with or without Common Interface, which allows the conversion of any kind of Terrestrial or Satellite signal, that can be free or encrypted, into DVBC and distributing it. The same option is possible by transforming it into DVB-C. The whole set takes on a high relevance thanks to the new remote control device

the control of up to 8 multiplex of 25 services each. Once encrypted, we only have to turn them into DVB-C thanks to an IPQAM encoder. A prototype of the new receiver DVB-C HD with Conax 7 was presented in the fair too. It gives a global solution to all these kind of projects.

But perhaps the most complete solution in terms of technique was the one presented by the new business unit of the IP View Media Solutions, trademark, which consists of a multimedia system for the transmission of IP television, that allows the distribution of all kind of TV and VoD contents, as well as addressed advertisement. In the fair there was a real test made with the company TFO with its technology of GPON fiber nets. Several successful pilot tests have been made previously with this company.

All this set of solutions makes us become a clear benchmark in the professional market of the networks.

The installation Installation of Portugal Telecom Fte maximal Portugal has reached an agreement with its client Portugal Telecom in order to offer a solution that allows the display of different encoded contents that are received in high definition in Hotels, without the need of making any additional modification in their final infrastructure.

The hotel chain Hoteles Grupo Pestana, as the biggest group of tourism and leisure in Portugal and which will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2012, has chosen this solution as the one to be installed in 30 building groups in different areas of Portugal. It is worth mentioning that this hotel chain currently manages 45 Pousadas de Portugal and 42 hotel resorts placed in three different continents: 22 in Portugal (10 in Madeira, 7 in Algarve, 1 in Lisbon, 1 in Oporto, 1 in Cascais and 2 in Beloura/Sintra), 1 in Argentina (Buenos Aires), 3 in Mozambique (Maputo, Inhaca Island and Bazaruto Island), 1 in South Africa (next to Kruger Park), 1 in Cape Verde (in the city of Praia) and 1 en São Tomé e Príncipe.

The headend that we propose in each installation has been mounted on a 42U rack, assembled with equipment that belongs to the modular headend family of Fte maximal with the following items for each rack: 28 modules of DVB 300S HD that allow unencrypting Nagra encoded signals and that convert the signal received from DVB-S2 satellite with high definition (MPEG-4) into a baseband signal; 14 units of MTW 310 each of them modulates 2 audio and video channels to PAL-BG; some MUX 310 have been installed too in order to make a combination of the new RF channels and the set has been amplified by an AMP 310 P modular amplifier for headends with a 45 dB gain.

Within Fte maximal’s quality commitment and as an added value, the equipment is delivered totally assembled, adjusted to the requested channels and inspected. Likewise we have to point out that the installation has been managed in situ by the local branch of Fte maximal in Portugal.
