Victor RF Matrix Chosen for Maritime Project with Speedcast

ETL Systems partners with Speedcast on satellite communications and IT in oil, gas and maritime

ETL Systems recently completed a project in partnership with Speedcast, a leading satellite communications and IT services provider in the oil & gas and maritime markets.

The Victor RF switch matrix supports operational flexibility and efficiency aboard ships fitted with multi-band antennas. With the majority of vessels operating between 2 and 4 C-band and Ku-band antennas, with a small handful also equipped for Ka-band, ETL’s Victor RF switch matrix is the ideal solution for ships fitted with multi-band antennas.

"ETL’s technology enables you to avoid on-board reconfiguration to switch between frequencies, which is ideal for maritime customers because they can reconfigure the system remotely – even when the configuration requirements are complex."

Why choose the Victor Matrix?

The Victor Matrix Router Series provides high performance in an ultra-compact 1U shelf.

VTR-80 has a capacity of up to 16x16 inputs/outputs and is a non-blocking, distributive/fan-out matrix. It features LNB powering, variable gain, and local and remote control via RJ45 Ethernet port.

The Victor Matrix offers resilience from dual redundant power supplies and is ideal for TVRO or small teleport requirements, as well as RF distribution in either maritime or outside broadcast/SNG applications.

VTR-80 covers IF/extended L-band frequencies 50-2500MHz, making it Ka-band ready. This next-generation Victor also offers advanced features, including software enabled expansion, providing flexibility for both operational and cost efficiency.
