Future-proof RF Infrastructure for Evolving Industry Needs
As the satcoms industry embraces IP-based workflows and virtualisation, operators will need infrastructure that can deliver performance, scalability, and faultless resilience across an ever-growing range of applications. Whether supporting UHD video contribution or secure data networks, RF systems must handle greater bandwidth and higher frequencies, as well as navigating complex hybrid environments. ETL Systems is helping operators meet these demands through modular, redundant RF architectures that streamline both cost and maintenance burdens, and reduce service disruptions.
Our integrated rack solutions, pre-tested and configured for you, ensure smooth deployment and long-term system interoperability. With expanded capabilities in high power amplifiers for the satellite uplink chain, ETL can support both high-frequency and multi-band operations essential for next-gen use cases like remote broadcasting and high-capacity gateways. The shift towards Digital IF/RF over IP is also accelerating. ETL is at the forefront of this movement, enabling a compact and versatile digitisation platform ideal for mobile and edge operations. As the satcoms ecosystem evolves, ETL Systems remains a trusted RF partner, building infrastructure equipped to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
