GENUS 1U MODULAR RF DISTRIBUTION CHASSIS

GNS-196-1U

• Description

  The Genus chassis has a modular design which can house any combination of compatible modules within the unit. Supplying operators with a flexible and scalable solution, that reduces spare parts and rack space requirements.

  The 1U chassis houses up to 17 RF modules including Amplifiers, BUC/LNB Power Supplies, Frequency Converters, Matrices, RF over Fibre, Redundancy Switches and Test Loop Translators, which can be mixed. Providing a compact 1U system that is smaller in comparison with traditional 19” solutions, which could require 2U, 3U, 4U or more to achieve the same functionality. The Genus chassis provides a cost-efficient solution with field-replaceable components.

  The RF modules are field-serviceable and can be inserted whilst the shelf is in service, giving excellent levels of flexibility and resilience. With additional reliability from dual redundant hot-swap power supplies & field serviceable HMI, CPU and optional user replaceable internal 10MHz reference source with external 10MHz input options.

• Applications

  The 1U Genus is a new generation modular chassis for the ground segment, to meet today's and future ground segment V/HTS requirements. The chassis provides flexible signal management for teleport operators in a compact housing.

  - Teleports, ground stations, maritime, LEO gateways, high resilience applications and unmanned sites

  - High resilience RF distribution where single points of failure can be minimised

  - Redundancy applications for remote satellite teleports

  - V/HTS gateways

  - Signal distribution: Amplifiers, BUC/LNB Power Supply's, Frequency Up & Down Converters, Matrices, RF Over Fibre, Redundancy Switches, Test Loop Translators are available
