SHF Matrix / SHF Router

ETL has a broad SHF Switch Matrix and SHF Router range for Satellite communications, including the hot-swap NiGMa SHF Matrix which is used for many high resilience high performance applications and smaller more application-specific SHF Routers which are used in cruise ships, broadcast relay stations, and smaller broadcast functions.

The architecture of all of these smaller SHF Matrix products are very similar, but the 2U, 3U and 4U, units are generally not hot swap. All of the range has input splitter cards and output switch cards, dual redundant PSU's and a CPU. There is a variety of SHF Matrix local control panels, defined by customer requirements. Remote control is via serial or ethernet ports in general.

Some of the SHF Routers have hot swap power supplies.

The 16x16 modules can be linked together to form larger systems such as 16x32 or 32x16 matrices.
