Telecoms
The telecommunications and satellite communications industries have been inextricably linked for decades.
From the earliest commercial use of satellite technology, enabling long-distance international phone calls and live TV broadcasts, to the present-day web of satellites providing high speed connectivity to all corners of the globe, satcoms has grown in lockstep with telecoms, facilitating connectivity and supporting the terrestrial (land and sea-based) infrastructure throughout its development.
Telecom companies have historically been key operators of teleports, serving as crucial hubs for satellite communications. A substantial amount of ETL equipment is deployed in these facilities, including splitters & combiners, line amplifiers, switch matrices/routers and LNB power supplies. Our products are essential in maintaining the seamless operation of teleports, providing robust and reliable solutions that telecom operators trust.
Extending the reach of telecom services
Satellite networks extend the reach of telecom services in two ways; by supporting the underlying network that transmits information around the world (backhaul), and by filling gaps or ‘white zones’ in the end-user network.
Cellular backhaul
For mobile backhaul, telecom operators can ensure cellular towers are connected to their core global network by directing traffic via satellite, where fibre infrastructure is unavailable. For remote and underserved locations, satellite operators can provide broadband connectivity to enterprises, emergency response, defence organisations, and consumers, wherever fibre infrastructure is damaged or non-existent.
Direct to Device (D2D) technology
Recent advances in Direct to Device (D2D) technology have seen smartphones and IoT devices augmented with the ability to connect directly to satellites, extending their connectivity where cellular base stations are out of range.

The growth of internet protocol television
In recent years, the growth of internet protocol television (IPTV) has become a significant driver in the telecoms market. IPTV has provided many benefits over traditional TV broadcasting; by streaming content over the internet, IPTV can be accessed on numerous devices (versus only the TV sets connected to an antenna) and offers flexibility in viewing through video-on-demand and catch-up TV.
ETL Systems has been actively supporting IPTV infrastructure, offering solutions that meet the evolving needs of the industry. We provide both straightforward RF distribution via splitters and full fan-out switch matrices for more complex and demanding applications. Our equipment ensures high-quality signal transmission and dependable performance, supporting the dynamic requirements of IPTV services.
