Reliable, resilient RF routing for every application

Range

Options for distributive fan-out, combining fan-in, and FIFO matrices, ensuring reliable and efficient signal management across uplink and downlink applications.
Balance flexible routing options with minimising signal paths to reduce insertion loss and signal degradation.
High-density configurations, excellent isolation, and low insertion loss.
RF router range includes fully hot-swappable components, such as RF cards, CPUs, and PSUs, ensuring easy maintenance and future expandability.
For larger applications, scalable multi-module systems can handle up to 1024 inputs x 1024 outputs.

Configuration

Specialist features for all applications; fibre input/output, LNB powering, variable gain, low noise and more. We can specify the matrix that your system needs.
Software expansion available; buy expansion-ready matrices to balance future-proofing and cost efficiency.
Options for combining, distributive, dual/combination, or FIFO configurations.

Reliability

Local and remote M&C capabilities.
Parts redundancy to protect against failure, including PSUs and CPUs
Resilient by design; isolated RF cards only affect single input/output port in event of failure (product dependent), automated switching in event of signal path failure (product dependent).

Testimonials

We have supported customers in over 130 countries around the globe.

“Being responsible for the design and engineering of our entire headend for live TV services, I can confidently say that ETL equipment is at the core of our operations. We've been using ETL's Enigma, originally purchased as a 64x256, delivered Christmas Eve 2007, and it’s still running perfectly. The durability of ETL is remarkable—you simply can’t break it. It’s so reliable that we haven't seen many new customers switching to ETL because their old equipment is still going strong after all these years.”

Koen Deleener

Head of Engineering, VRT

“We’ve been working with ETL since around 2005, and over the years, we've collaborated on numerous projects. One that stands out was for RTL in Belgium, where we installed the Matrix, Enigma. What sets ETL apart is their exceptional RF specifications. The equipment we installed back in 2006-2007, like the matrix at RTL, is still running smoothly. The same goes for all our other clients. Issues are rare, but when they arise, ETL’s support is always reliable. This is why clients continue to trust and return to ETL time and time again.”
