DIPOL at SatKrak 2009 - award for TERRA multiswitches

SAT KRAK 2009 - the exhibition and the accompanying conferences were held in Krakow,
from October 15 to 17, 2009.

At SatKrak exhibition there were granted annual awards for the best products of the year. The voting included the votes of Internet users. The Best Product in multiswitch category became TERRA multiswitches, professional-grade equipment.

TERRA multiswitches feature high quality and reliability. They are the best choice both in the case of small and large SMATV systems. Highest quality workmanship and carefully selected components make the multiswitches fully professional equipment. Thanks to very rigorous quality control the multiswitches are virtually trouble-free.

The manufacturer provides not only the highest quality equipment, but also offers free SatNet program, allowing easy and error-free designing of even most advanced installations. This way the customer is sure that the installation will be the optimal solution.

Video converters and Ethernet media converters are used mainly in places where it is necessary to send signals over long distances and in areas exposed to harsh weather conditions and electromagnetic interference. Optical fibers provide full electrical insulation and resistance to interference.

We also showed fiber optic transmission equipment designed for professional TV distribution systems - from TERRA company. Large attenuation of coaxial cables does not allow to build SMATV/MATV distribution systems over distances above 1000 m. The solution of the problem is the use of optical transmission systems in 1310 nm window. In this window, the attenuation of optical fibers is 0.34 dB / km, which allows to transmit signals up to 40 km. Optical transmitter MOS-211A R81720 converts electrical input signals (RF) into modulated light for transmission over single-mode optical fiber. This transmitter cooperates with OD-200P R81722 optical node.

Signal GSM repeaters are used to strengthen GSM signals and "inject" them inside buildings. The devices are perfect for places where the signals outside a building have a decent level suitable for conversations, but inside the building they are insufficient for normal operation.

Examples of applications are places located far from base stations or buildings with thick walls, cellars etc, or even modern buildings based on steel structures, with glass windows covered with metallic compounds.

DIPOL demonstrated large family of Monako mounts for modern LCD/plasma panels. We offer a wide range of brackets for mounting LCD monitors and plasma TVs on a wall or ceiling, adjustable vertically, horizontally or with fixed position - depending on the model. If you're looking for a solution to mount a projector on a ceiling or wall, we also offer such products.

Connectors are the part of transmission path which do not have significant impact on the cost of an antenna installation, but are crucial to signal quality, labor intensity, and reliability of the system. Poorly chosen or low-quality connectors may cause a significant drop in signal level, and may also pick up interference. So it is important to use high-quality connectors. The important parameter is voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), indicating how much of the power of the signal is reflected back to the source of signal. In the case of satellite IF the parameter should not exceed 1.5. Screening efficiency describes suppression capability of the connector as regards external interferences. For brand-name connectors its value is above 70 dB. It is especially important in multiswitch systems. In professional applications there are usually used compression connectors, much quicker to mount, better shielded, and much more reliable.
